Purpose: This research was conducted with the aim of identifying effective factors on educational reform at the level of national and regional supports for high school mathematics. Methodology: The present study in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation method was qualitative, which was performed in two stages of synthesis research and content analysis. The research environment in the synthesis research stage were all reference texts about recognizing the needs of the high school mathematics curriculum in the period of 2007 to 2020 years, which number of 47 sources were selected as a sample by purposeful sampling method. The research environment in the content analysis stage were all reference texts of educational reform of the high school mathematics curriculum and national and regional support in the period of 2010 to 2020 years, which number of 7 sources were selected as a sample by purposeful sampling method. The content validity of the data was confirmed by 5 experts in the field of curriculum and education of mathematics and their reliability was obtained by the agreement coefficient method between the two coders 0.88. Data were analyzed by synthesis research and content analysis methods via deductive. Findings: The results of synthesis research showed that for the effective factors on educational reform were identified 5 components and 12 subcomponents, which the components included the need to review the curriculum, preparation of teachers to change the curriculum, the need for teacher training, supervision of the education system on the teachers' performance and providing curriculum implementation arrangements. Also, the results of content analysis showed that for the effective factors on educational reform were identified 2 components and 7 subcomponents, which the components included preparation teachers to change the curriculum and providing curriculum implementation arrangements. Finally, the diagram of the effective factors on educational reform at the level of national and regional supports for high school mathematics was drawn. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, planning to improve the education of high school mathematics is essential through the use of effective factors on educational reform.

Purpose: While it is true that concern should be expressed with the incessant conflicts in Africa, it is also true that the ramifications are very wide. One recurring conflict in the 1990s Nigeria’s educational institutions is the conflict generated among rival cult groups that seemed to defy solution. Several students and, in some cases, lecturers have lost their lives yet there seems to be no end to these killings which seem to occur unexpectedly. Methodology: Applying a sub-cultural group theory, this article analyzed the prevalent factor responsible of this phenomenon. Starting with the analysis of the relations between what it takes to survive in Nigeria and the emergence of violence on campuses of institutions of higher learning, the article suggests that the failure of higher institutions to effectively perform its integrative role, thereby becoming a space for delinquent gang groups, may be connected to failed economic policies. Findings: it argues that it may not be totally true to call the various students groups involved in the on-campus conflict ‘cult’ as their activities and rituals are devoid of any spiritual or religious elements but more about contestations about space and survival. It concludes by suggesting some probable solutions. Conclusion: the educational institution needs to rethink the curricula in relation to the survival of the society wherein what is taught is not based on ‘individualistic but communal virtues.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of life skills training on coping strategies and psychological capital of adolescents. Methodology: The research design was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with the control group. The statistical population of this study consisted of all female high school students in the 4th District of Tehran in the academic year of 1396-97. According to Cohen's table, the sample size was 30 people. The initial random sampling method was used, but the participants in the control and experimental groups were randomly assigned and 15 individuals in the experimental group and 15 in the control group were replaced. The measuring tools included Lazarus's Coping Strategies Scale (1985) and Lutz's Psychological Capital Scale (2007), which subjects completed before and after the life skills training program. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed using Spss21 software at a significant level of 0.05. Findings: The results showed that life skills training (14.3%) played a role in explaining the problem-focused coping strategy, but it was not effective in the emotion-focused coping strategy (P = 0.824). Life was 19.7% in explaining self-efficacy, 23.2% in explaining hope, and 17.1% in explaining the resilience of the experimental group. But the experiment group was not optimistic (P = 0.904). Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that life skills training has been effective in coping strategies and psychological capital of adolescents.
