E-learning has been extensively integrated into the educational system during the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to enhance the quality of education. While introducing numerous benefits and positive impacts, this rapid transition has also posed new challenges that could potentially increase anxiety among elementary school teachers. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between web-based teaching components during the COVID-19 pandemic and anxiety levels among elementary school teachers, providing practical operational solutions. This research is applied in terms of purpose and correlational in terms of methodology. The statistical population of the study included all elementary school teachers in the city of Amol, totaling 750 individuals. A sample of 256 teachers was randomly selected from the city of Amol. Data were collected using the Salmi Anxiety Questionnaire, Abedini Chogordani, Ghasemi Nafchi, and Tabashir (2021), and a researcher-made questionnaire to measure web-based teaching components. The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed through face validity, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was employed to determine the reliability of the research instrument. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. The findings indicated that the contributions of web-based teaching components, including support and virtual learning infrastructure (169.0), learning and technological complexity (141.0), electronic content production (267.0), and type of course instruction (203.0), were significant predictors of teachers' anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the contribution of the effective assessment component (107.0) was not statistically significant. Virtual education infrastructure, learning technological skills, acquiring content production skills, type of course instruction, were negative predictors of teachers' anxiety during the pandemic. The results of the study revealed a significant negative relationship between some web-based teaching components and anxiety levels. Therefore, it is recommended to reduce teaching anxiety in web-based education by implementing empowerment courses to develop online teaching skills, producing effective content, and fostering technological development in in-service teacher training.

پژوهش حاضر با هدف تعیین اثربخشی آموزش فلسفه برای کودکان بر تفکر انتقادی، خودکارآمدی تحصیلی و رشد معنوی دانش آموزان دختر 10 تا 13 ساله انجام شد. این پژوهش از نظر هدف کاربردی و از نظر روش شبه آزمایشی با طرح پیش آزمون و پس آزمون با گروه کنترل بود. جامعه آماری پژوهش شامل کلیه دانش آموزان دختر 10 تا 13 ساله شهر تهران در سال تحصیلی 1403-1402 بود که تعداد 32 نفر به عنوان نمونه آماری به روش نمونه گیری در دسترس انتخاب شدند. از این تعداد 16 نفر در گروه آزمایش و 16 نفر در گروه کنترل به صورت تصادفی گنجانده شدند. برای جمع آوری داده ها از پرسشنامه تفکر انتقادی ریکتس (2003)، پرسشنامه خودکارآمدی تحصیلی جینکز و مورگان (1999) و پرسشنامه هوش معنوی کینگ (2008) استفاده شد. تجزیه و تحلیل داده ها از طریق آمار استنباطی آزمون کوواریانس و نرم افزار SPSS نسخه 26 انجام شد. یافته های این پژوهش نشان داد که آموزش فلسفه برای کودکان با توجه به اندازه اثر (617/0) بر تفکر انتقادی و مؤلفه های آن و اثر (706/0) برخودکارآمدی تحصیلی و مؤلفه های آن و اندازه اثر (657/0) بر هوش معنوی و مؤلفه های آن تأثیر معنی داری دارد. بنابراین می توان نتیجه گرفت که آموزش فلسفه برای کودکان با تقویت مهارت های تفکر و توسعه آگاهی های درونی باعث بهبود و تقویت مهارت تفکر انتقادی، خودکارآمدی تحصیلی و رشد معنوی در دانش آموزان می شود.

This study investigated the effects of dialogic tasks on Iranian English as Foreign Language learners' autonomy considering the mediating effects of the learners’ gender and levels of proficiency as well. A total number of 213 male and female Iranian EFL learners within the age range of 15-26 were selected through convenience sampling from three language schools in Fars, Iran. The Oxford Quick Placement Test was run to ensure homogeneity, and choose learners at two levels of proficiency (upper vs. lower intermediate), later assigned to experimental and control groups. Then, a translated version of learner autonomy questionnaire was run as the pretest and posttest. The treatment was dialogic tasks operationalized through storytelling and picture description tasks. Three-way ANCOVA was conducted to compare the autonomy posttest scores of the male and female learners in the two experimental and control groups at the two proficiency levels of lower- and upper-intermediate. The results of data analysis showed that dialogic tasks had a significant effect on increasing the autonomy among EFL learners. Nonetheless, levels of proficiency and gender did not have any significant mediating effects on the autonomy of the learners under investigation. The study will provide robust implications for language teachers and learners.
