Purpose: The present research aimed to designing a teaching pattern from students’ lived experiences of the teaching process in universities of Iran in technical and engineering disciplines. Methodology: This study in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation was qualitative from type of phenomenological. The study population consisted of postgraduate and PhD students in technical and engineering disciplines of Australian universities (Melbourne, Monash and Swinburne) in 2018 year who had the experience of studying at the undergraduate and graduate levels in Iran country. The research sample according to the theoretical saturation principle was determined 10 people who were selected by purposive sampling method. Data were collected through semi-structured depth interview method which its validity was confirmed by the method of reconstruction of reality and its reliability was confirmed by conducting interviews in a quiet and unbiased atmosphere and to analyze data used from thematic coding method. Findings: Findings showed that students’ lived experiences of the teaching process in Iranian universities in technical and engineering fields had 197 initial concepts and 38 final concepts in 3 main components: professor (23 concepts), student (7 concepts) and content (8 concepts). Also, based on the concepts and components derived from the students’ lived experiences of the teaching process, the teaching model in technical and professional fields was designed and approved based on the opinion of experts. Conclusion: According to the results, planners and officials to design curriculum and professors to improve their teaching can use the teaching model designed in this research to improve the quality of education in universities.

Purpose: The aim of this research was investigate the effect of participative management and self-regulation on conflict management of managers with mediate role of spiritual transcendence. Methodology: The present study is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of implementation, it was descriptive-correlation. The research statistical population was the male and female teachers of one and two districts of Urmia city in 2019-20 academic years. According to the Cochran’s formula, 343 people were selected as the sample by the stratified sampling method based on the service area. The research instruments was the questionnaires of participative management (Feyzi & et al, 2009), self-regulation (Bouffard & et al, 1995), conflict management (Thomas & Kilmann, 1974) and spiritual transcendence (Piedmont, 1999). Data were analyzed with methods of Pearson correlation coefficients and structural equation modeling in SPSS-19 and Smart PLS-3 software. Findings: The findings showed that participative management and self-regulation on spiritual transcendence, and participative management, self-regulation and spiritual transcendence on conflict management had a positive and direct effect. Also, participative management and self-regulation with mediating spiritual transcendence on conflict management had a positive and indirect effect (P<0.05). Studies have shown that the research the model had the fit well. Conclusion: Spiritual transcendence was a good mediator between participatory management and self-regulation with conflict management, so according to the results to improve conflict management of managers can improve the level of their participative management, self-regulation and transcendence through training workshops.

Purpose: The present research was conducted to discover the possible relationship between self-esteem and the receptive skills of EFL learners in Iran across genders. Methodology: The design of the study was correlational or ex post facto design. The researchers used three instruments for data collection in the current study. A language proficiency test to measure the participants’ proficiency level, Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory and finally two tests of listening and reading adopted from Preliminary English Test. To begin the research, in order to clear the language proficiency level of the learners, the researchers gave all learners a language proficiency test in Payame Noor University in Tabriz. After the test, the researchers finally selected 52 candidates whose test scores were between one SD below and above the mean as the homogeneous sample for further data collection. Then they collected some parts of the data from Coopersmith's self-esteem questionnaire to find out the learners’ self-esteem. Finally, they gathered the last part of the data which was the learners’ receptive skills from two tests of listening and reading adopted from PET. With the intention of testing all the research hypotheses, the researchers ran Pearson correlation analysis as the chief statistical analysis. Findings: The Results showed a significant correlation between the self-esteem and reading skill of the learners across genders. Also no relationship could be found between the self-esteem and listening skill of the learners across genders. Conclusion: From the findings, self-esteem had deep-seated and improved positive possessions on reading performances of the learner. But when it comes to listening performance, not self-esteem, but most linguistic knowledge and strategy use, mark the failure or success of a learner. It seems that there are some other factors of which affect the process of listening comprehension
