Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine teachers’ perceptions towards research by first investigating teachers’ conceptions about research and second, by examining the extent to which teachers read and do research. Methodology: To this end, the participants of the present study were 98 English language teachers from language institutes and schools. Utilizing Borg’s (2009) questionnaire, at first, the questionnaire responses were analyzed to determine the teachers’ view of research; in this section, the teachers were asked to point out to what extent they felt the activities described in 10 scenarios were or were not research. Findings: The results indicated that three scenarios were considered to be “probably research” and scenarios 4, 5 and 6 were regarded as “definitely research” by the participants. On the other hand, two scenarios were recognized as “definitely research”. The results of the second research question showed that among 98 English teachers only 24 teachers “often or sometimes” read published research which is a very high index. Teachers’ reasons for the answers to the second research question were lack of time, knowledge, access to resources, and institutional support. The findings of this research indicate that teachers’ conceptions of research are very near to conventional scientific theories. Only 12.2% of the teachers mentioned that they “do research”. Conclusion: the findings of the present study may be useful for teachers who want to promote their English teaching as such findings are suggested to improve their level of engagement in research activities, and consequently the quality of their research.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy education on students' responsibility. Methodology: The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test with control group. The statistical population of this study was all female students of Shahid صادقیSecondary School (District 6) in Tehran during the school year of 2018-2019. The sample consisted of 30 students (15 experimental group, 15 control group) from those who had a lower than average deviation from the responsibility scale and were randomly selected and divided into two groups of 15 experimental and control groups. Were. The experimental group received 8 sessions of acceptance and commitment therapy training while the control group did not receive any intervention. To measure the variables, Kordlow Liability Questionnaire (2008) was administered to both groups and data obtained from pre-test and post-test using multivariate analysis of covariance. And univariate analysis was performed. Findings: The results of multivariate and univariate analysis of covariance showed that acceptance and commitment therapy education increased the students' responsibility in comparison with the control group in the post-test. (P <0.05). conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that acceptance and commitment based training can be used to promote accountability and its components. Acceptance and commitment based therapy can be part of intervention programs in counseling centers. Schools should be targeted to increase accountability of target groups.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to design and validate a model for improving in-service training of medical university staff. Methodology: This research is an applied type of qualitative-quantitative research. The study population consisted of 15 elites who were selected through purposive sampling and in the quantitative section of 380 persons by stratified random sampling with proportional allocation among staff of Khuzestan University of Medical Sciences. The data were collected through structured interviews and a researcher-made questionnaire that was implemented in qualitative and quantitative sections, respectively. The findings showed that organizational development, role of instructor, assigned tasks, professional skill, training facilities, content, attitude to training, trust building, knowledge of elites and experts were among the influential components in in-service training. Findings: Findings related to Structural Equation Technique using pls software also showed that all the above-mentioned components were significantly higher than the value of 1.96 at the significant level of 0.95. In other words, these components are highly influential in evaluating in-service education from the perspective of course learners. Conclusion: The findings also showed that the improvement of in-service training evaluation system plays an important role in the effectiveness of the workforce as well as the proper training of human resources in the direction of achieving the goals of the system of managers in the Medical Sciences University.

Purpose: The main purpose of the research is to study the elements and dimensions of university sustainability and to present a comprehensive conceptual model for the realization of sustainable university in the Iranian higher education system and to compare the approach of public and non-governmental universities. Methodology: The research approach is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of data collection method is descriptive-correlational. And in terms of a mixed method, it is done in two parts: qualitative and quantitative. In the qualitative section, the components of sustainable university were identified by conducting semi-structured interviews with 17 higher education experts and policymakers selected through purposeful sampling. The process of gathering information continued until theoretical saturation. To validate qualitative findings from participant and coworker review strategies and inductive content analysis method for data analysis, the research method was quantitative descriptive - survey. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of 8 subscales and its content extracted from qualitative data. The population consisted of 322 faculty members of public and non-governmental universities selected according to Cochran formula. The construct validity of the instrument was confirmed by experts and its reliability was calculated by Cronbach's alpha. Data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software. Findings: The results of data analysis in the coding process were finally categorized into 26 axial categories and 8 selective codes. The findings included eight main categories of pedagogy elements and dimensions in learning processes, sustainable research, functional structural requirements, social sustainability, economic sustainability, academic and academic identity and academic diplomacy in the age of globalization. The results of the quantitative section also showed the difference of sustainability indices in public and non-public universities. Conclusion: Finally, the results showed that universities need to move towards sustainability in order to maintain their stability in the current situation. Accordingly, a sustainable university is a university with a sustainable strategy and strategy, a transversal and community-based vision of implementing sustainable principles and concepts in sustainable teaching-learning functions, sustainable research, strengthening democratic society, minimizing environmental, economic impacts. It is socially and hygienically, and has functional structural requirements, academic and academic interactions, a well-defined and robust economic and financial system that has always sought to strengthen the identity of professional citizens in support of a sustainable and pioneering society.
