Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a standard model of teachers' professional competence on the basis of high-level documents. Methodology: This was an applied research in terms of purpose and was a sequential exploratory mixed study in terms of data collection. Data collection tools in the qualitative phase were the analysis of the content of high-level documents (Fundamental Reform Document of Education (FRDE), National Curriculum, Comprehensive Scientific Map of the Country, and 20-Year Perspective Document for Iran) to extract the components. In order to ensure the validity of the content analysis checklist, content and face validity method and expert opinion were used. The data in qualitative phase were analyzed through three open, axial and selective coding methods. The findings included 69 symbols in the open coding, where they were classified in the form of 4 concepts including recruitment, teacher education, teacher retention & promotion and evaluation in the axial coding. In the selective coding stage, a standard model of teachers' professional competence on the basis of high-level documents was developed. The research instrument in the quantitative phase was a researcher-made questionnaire derived from the qualitative results of the research. The face and content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts in the field of education. Confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity, and divergent validity were used to evaluate the construct validity, and hybrid reliability was used to evaluate the construct reliability. As well as, in the quantitative phase of research, structural equations under Smart PLS software were used to evaluate the standard model of teachers' professional competence. Findings: According to the results of t-statistic, all factor loadings were significant at 99% confidence level and played a significant role in developing the standard model of teachers' professional competence on the basis of high-level documents of Education. Conclusion: The proposed model enjoyed an appropriate quality and was approved. Managers, teachers, and administrators in the education of teachers can employ the symbols, concepts, and categories identified in this study in their future planning to shape the teachers' professional competence.

Purpose: The main objective of the present paper is to boost executive functions and meta-cognition via compensatory and rehabilitative cognitive training. Methodology: In a randomized controlled trail with pretest, post-test and follow-up assessment, the effects of compensatory and rehabilitative cognitive training via education and personalized practice was studied on the EF and metacognition of 126 secondary students aged 16-18. Participants were assigned randomly into an experimental training group (n=61) using Practical Cognitive Strategy Training (PCST) or a wait-list control group (n=65). PCST (Roshd) consisted of two parts: cognitive strategy awareness and practice for compensatory cognitive training and cognitive exercises for rehabilitative cognitive training. The data was analyzed using repeated measure ANOVA in SPSS 23. Findings: Results showed a significant difference between experimental and control group in strategy use after twelve sessions of training once a week in a twelve-week period of training and a one-month follow-up assessment (P≤0.001). The participants also reported some kinds of transfer in the use of learned cognitive strategies to other life activities. Limitations: The study only used practical real life executive functions exercises and let the students choose whether to use training apps or not. The amount of extra training out of training situation was not controlled. Conclusion: Practical daily-life-based executive functions training can practically enhance executive functions and meta0cognitipon in real life activities.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the factors affecting Service Learning (SL) in primary school students in Tehran.

In the qualitative part, in addition to using specialized texts in the field of SL, Teachers and specialists active in the field of service learning were interviewed; participants in quantity part included elementary school teachers in the same city. In the qualitative section, the sample included 30 people who were selected by targeted sampling method, considering 5-15 people for each variable, and in quantitative one, 309 people were randomly selected via single-stage cluster. To collect data in the qualitative part, analysis of texts related to service learning, and semi-structured interview, and in the quantitative part of the study, the researcher-made questionnaire were used. Findings: For data analysis in the qualitative part, two analyses of grounded and content, and in quantitative, exploratory factor analysis were administered. The results showed that five factor categories affect the implementation of service learning in schools, which were respectively (based on factor load value) at the following: 1) professional and general competence factor of teachers, with 25 indicators and factor load of 0.694. 2) the atmosphere factor of School, with 8 indicators and operating load 0.680. 3) Curriculum development, with 34 indicators and factor load of 0.631. 4) Educational leadership, with 12 indicators and factor load of 0.0670. 5) School relationship with community, with 7 indicators and Operating load 0.646. Conclusion: In general, in order to increase students' orientation of service learning, the competency and capability of teachers should be improved through new software methods and technology, furthermore, the school space should be appropriately enriched in terms of content, curriculum and educational programs to meet students’ basic needs and to establish effective relation between the school, and influential factors in the society.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to present a model of organizational empowerment based on knowledge management among employees of Sepah Bank branches in Tehran. Methodology: The present study was applied in terms of purpose, and in terms of data collection, it was a mixed research (qualitative and quantitative). The statistical population consisted of academic and organizational experts including senior managers of Sepah Bank in Tehran and the quantitative department included all employees of Sepah Bank in Tehran. Sample size was estimated in theoretical saturation (20) in qualitative section and 343 in quantitative section. Purposeful sampling and stratified random sampling were used for quantitative sampling.

The face and content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by several experts, validity was calculated by means of variance mean and divergent validity was calculated by AVE. The reliability of the questionnaire was 0.968 through Cronbach's alpha. Data were analyzed using Cronbach's alpha, AVE, AVE root matrix, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, confirmatory factor analysis, and one-sample t-test. Findings: The results resulted in the identification of 17 components and 66 indicators, including 14 affective components including trust, motivation, commitment, emotional intelligence, participation, communication, structure, education, culture, leadership, technology and reward and 3 affective learning components. Organizational, organizational entrepreneurship and performance, a moderating variable (personality traits) and knowledge management as independent variables affect organizational empowerment based on knowledge management. Other results showed that the status of identified components in organizational empowerment based on knowledge management is desirable. In addition, mechanisms, facilitators, and barriers to organizational empowerment based on knowledge management were also presented. Finally, a research model consisting of influencing factors, content phenomena (constituents, facilitators, barriers, and effective mechanisms for organizational empowerment based on KM) was presented and the degree of fit was confirmed by experts with 95% confidence. Conclusion: Choosing important and effective knowledge and capabilities in the organizational field and enhancing organizational skills is a very effective way of empowering organizational personnel that can lead to enhancing organizational efficiency and organizational integrity of an organization's personnel.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the concept of ethical sensitivity as an essential component of ethical decision making and provide solutions for teacher students education in order to develop ethical sensitivity. Methodology: This was a fundamental descriptive correlational method. In this study, concept analysis method was used. In this regard, first, the preconditions and characteristics of ethical sensitivity, with emphasis on Weaver's studies (2005) was explained, and then, based on these preconditions and attributes, some approaches were presented to develop the teacher students’ education on ethical sensitivity. Findings: Regarding the analysis of ethical sensitivity through the research backgrounds, it can be stated that the purpose of the education and development of this concept is to assist students in accepting and analyzing the views of students, answering them, identifying and interpreting ethical issues, and finally, justify, reflex and anticipate the consequences of its ethical actions, and using methods that are effective in maintaining the student's personality coherence. Conclusion: ethical sensitivity and explaining the methods to develop it on student-teacher education can lead to the behavioral contradiction of the educators and lead to less emphasis of ethical sensitivity among the educators.
