Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of components of the field of artistic aesthetics on online education. Methodology: The present study in terms of purpose was practical and in terms of implementation method was interventional with a pretest, posttest and one-month follow-up design. The research population was the fourth grade students of district 2 of Tehran city in the 2021-22 academic years. The number of 50 people of them were selected by cluster sampling method and randomly replaced into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group was trained for one month from Saturday to Wednesday in the field of artistic aesthetics in Skyroom, and the control group was trained with the usual method in Skyroom. The research tool was a researcher-made online education questionnaire with 13 items, which the face validity by the opinion of experts was confirmed, and its reliability with the test-retest method was obtained above 0.80. The data were analyzed by methods of variance analysis with repeated measurements and Bonferroni post hoc test in SPSS version 19 software. Findings: The findings of the present research showed that teaching the components of the field of artistic aesthetics led to increase all variables of online education including music and sound, dramatic movements, imagery, visual arts, digital media and film, animation, storytelling and narrative, recognition of colors and lines, poetry and text, pantomime, rhythmic story writing, humor and puppet shows were improved in students and these results remained in the one-month follow-up phase (P<0.05). Conclusion: The results showed the effect of the intervention based on the components of the field of artistic aesthetics on all variables of online education. Therefore, can be used the method of teaching the components of the field of artistic aesthetics along with other educational methods to improve online education.

Purpose: The quality of working life due to the improvement of the quality of human resources has been the focus of most managers and planners. As a result, the present research was conducted with the aim of identifying the components and indicators of the quality of working life of school managers. Methodology: This study in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation method was descriptive from type of qualitative. The research population was experts who were familiar with the research field and the samples of this study according to the principle of theoretical saturation were determined 20 people who were selected by non-probability purposive and snowball sampling methods. The research tool was an in-depth interview with experts, whose content validity was confirmed by 10 experts in the field of educational management, and its reliability was calculated by the method of the coefficient of agreement between two coders of 0.77. Finally, the data obtained from the interviews were analyzed by coding method. Findings: The results of the analysis showed that the quality of working life of school managers had 92 indicators in 5 components including the individual factors, group factors, organizational factors, managerial factors and educational factors. Finally, the pattern of components of quality of working life of school managers was drawn. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, in order to improve the quality of working life of school managers should be provided the ground for the improvement of individual, group, organizational, managerial and educational factors affecting it.

Purpose: The integration of visual and verbal modes in educational materials, particularly in school textbooks, plays a chief role in enhancing the learning experience. Thus, the present study aimed to analyze the intersemiotic complementarity of verbal and visual modes in three English school textbooks from two countries with different policies toward English education at public schools, Iran and Malaysia. Methodology: Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this study analyzes the intersemiotic complementarity within English school textbooks used in the first grade of high school in Iran and Malaysia, focusing on three selected textbooks: Prospect 1 (Iran), Form 1 (Malaysia), and Pulse 2 (Malaysia). The analysis was guided by Royce's (1998) framework for intersemiotic complementarity, with a particular emphasis on the ideational metafunction. This involved examining the coherence between visual representations (images) and textual content (dialogues) to assess how these elements complement each other in conveying educational content and facilitating learning. Findings: The analysis revealed a marked disparity in the integration of visual and verbal modes between the textbooks from the two countries. Iranian textbooks, specifically Prospect 1, demonstrated a significant disconnect between images and text, often leading to confusion and potentially hindering students' learning. In contrast, the Malaysian textbooks (Form 1 and Pulse 2) exhibited a high level of intersemiotic complementarity, with images effectively supporting and enhancing the textual content, thereby facilitating a more cohesive and comprehensible learning experience for students. Conclusion: The study demonstrates the importance of cohesive integration of visual and verbal elements in textbooks to support effective learning, highlighting the need for strategic multimodal design in educational materials. By ensuring a cohesive integration of visual and verbal elements, textbooks can become more effective tools in enhancing comprehension and improving learning outcomes. This research contributes to the growing discourse on multimodal education, suggesting pathways for future investigations into the optimization of textbook design for enhanced educational impact.
