This study aims to represent how a primary school principal evolved into an effective educational leadership, focusing on their personal and professional background along with the distinctive features of the school and local community. A qualitative approach and narrative inquiry method were used. Initially, in-depth and semi-structured interviews lasting 12 hours were conducted with the principal. Data analysis was performed using Lichman’s model (2013). To validate the narratives, in-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted with five teachers who had worked under the principal's management and were selected through purposive (criterion-based) sampling. Additionally, self-reflection notes were prepared during the research process. The principal's journey towards efficiency was divided into four episodes: the character formation period, facing discrimination, conflicts and grief, building professional identity, and role modeling. According to the data analysis results, themes of encountering discrimination, economic poverty, and the local community's perception of disadvantaged schools were continuously repeated in the principal's narratives. Based on the narratives, three strategies - managing interactions, continuous professional development, and vision setting - played a crucial role in the principal's evolution towards efficiency. According to the findings, it is recommended that principals of high-poverty schools address teachers' educational deficiencies in the form of suggestions and gradually increase delegation of authority and trust in their measures to ensure improved performance quality. In addition, the principal, by requiring teachers to daily note the challenges and issues faced by students and to identify major and common challenges, aimed to prioritize these challenges and take necessary actions.

The purpose of this research is meta-analysis of the factors related to the philosophical mindset of students based on the researches published in the last 10 years. The population of this research is all the researches published in scientific journals. The sampling method was based on the Purposive sampling method. In this way, out of the total number of researches, which was 13, 3 of the researches were excluded due to reasons such as incompleteness of statistical information. In fact, studies that reported the necessary information and used correct statistical tests were selected, and studies that did not report the necessary information were excluded. The statistical sample is based on the researches that have been carried out on the factors related to the philosophical mindset of students, and their number is 10 researches (14 factors). In order to select studies suitable for meta-analysis and extract appropriate information, meta-analysis checklists were used. These checklists include researchers' names, research title, year of publication, place of implementation, statistical population and sample size, gender, educational level, research tools, reliability and significance level. CMA3 software was used to analyze the results. According to the research results, the effect size and Z calculated for 12 variables out of 14 variables are significant. Also, the largest effect size is related to t self-direction , creativity ,also the smallest effect size is related to mathematical self-efficacy and problem solving . Also, the effect size for all studies in the fixed and random model is at a high level.

This study investigates the relationship between metacognitive beliefs and personal-social adaptation and happiness among high school students. Using a descriptive-correlational design, 373 high school students from Robat Karim city were selected via convenience sampling. Data was collected using the Metacognitive Beliefs Questionnaire short form by Wells & Cartwright-Hatton (2004), the California Psychological Inventory by Clark et al. (1939), and the Oxford Happiness Inventory by Argyle et al. (1995). Statistical analysis involved Pearson correlation and regression. The study identified significant correlations between metacognitive beliefs and personal-social adaptation and happiness. Positive correlations were noted between beliefs about concern and personal adaptation (0.245), and uncontrollability and danger and personal adaptation (0.520). Cognitive confidence also correlated positively with personal adaptation (0.383), while the need for control of thoughts showed a negative correlation (-0.361). Social adaptation displayed similar trends with substantial correlations linked to positive beliefs about concern (0.741) and cognitive confidence (0.471). The need for control of thoughts showed a strong negative correlation (-0.798). Happiness correlated positively with metacognitive beliefs (0.518), with these beliefs predicting a 0.118 unit change in happiness.Metacognitive beliefs significantly affect personal-social adaptation and happiness among students. Workshops involving parents on metacognitive beliefs are recommended to enhance student outcomes.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the ethical foundations of supervising teachers in the digital age. This research was developmental-applied in terms of purpose and qualitative-quantitative method. The field of the study was school principals in the field of monitoring virtual education, who were selected by the snowball method and at the limit of theoretical saturation. Also, the statistical population of the quantitative part included 120 principals schools in Sanandaj. They were selected randomly using Morgan's table. For measuring the proportionality of the model, the opinions of 30 educational management professors, educational ethics researchers, and educational science professors were obtained. The tool of the qualitative part was a semi-structured interview, whose validity was confirmed by Guba and Lincoln's (2000) opinion method and reliability by agreement between coders. Based on the findings of the research, principals' supervision of teachers' virtual activities was subject to three main concepts of teachers' individual ethics, teacher's social ethics identifiers and spiritual-Islamic ethics identifiers in the form of 5 main categories and 29 components.
