Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-emotional training on emotional adaptation and working memory among students applying to learn English. Methodology: A randomized controlled trial design was used with 30 participants from Shiraz, divided into an experimental group (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15). The experimental group underwent an eight-week cognitive-emotional training program. Emotional adaptation and working memory were assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and five-month follow-up using standardized measures. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc tests. Findings: For emotional adaptation, the ANOVA results indicated significant main effects of Time (F(2, 54) = 48.27, p < .001, partial η² = 0.64), Group (F(1, 27) = 93.59, p < .001, partial η² = 0.61), and a significant Time x Group interaction (F(2, 54) = 39.77, p < .001, partial η² = 0.59). Post-hoc Bonferroni tests showed significant differences between baseline and post-intervention (p < .001), baseline and follow-up (p < .001), and post-intervention and follow-up (p = .049). For working memory, the ANOVA results also indicated significant main effects of Time (F(2, 54) = 74.36, p < .001, partial η² = 0.71), Group (F(1, 27) = 117.12, p < .001, partial η² = 0.68), and a significant Time x Group interaction (F(2, 54) = 44.91, p < .001, partial η² = 0.62). Bonferroni tests revealed significant differences between baseline and post-intervention (p < .001), baseline and follow-up (p < .001), and post-intervention and follow-up (p = .036). Conclusion: Cognitive-emotional training significantly enhances emotional adaptation and working memory in students learning English. These improvements were sustained over a five-month period, suggesting long-term benefits. Integrating such training into educational programs could improve academic outcomes and emotional well-being for language learners. Keywords

This research examines the Iranian digital community's engagement with the Metaverse, analyzing 14,724 tweets (expanding to 48,620 with retweets) from 23,571 unique users. Interest in the Metaverse among Iranians surged in the seven months following Facebook's rebranding but has since waned. A significant link between digital currency discussions and Metaverse topics was observed. Economic activists in the cryptocurrency market, forming the primary content creators, generally portray the Metaverse positively, focusing on earning opportunities. Another active group includes technology enthusiasts who share the latest Metaverse developments. Moreover, some users integrate Iran's socio-political context into their discussions, often contrasting Iran's technological stance with global giants like Facebook and addressing internet censorship. A distinct perspective comes from users wary of potential colonialist uses of technologies like the Metaverse, expressing apprehension about human subjugation. This sentiment forms the basis of most negative views on the Metaverse's development within the Iranian digital sphere.

Purpose: The dynamics of parent-teacher relationships are pivotal in shaping student success across academic and socio-emotional domains. This study aimed to explore the complexities of these relationships and how they impact student outcomes through qualitative analysis. Methodology: This qualitative study utilized semi-structured interviews with a total of 26 participants, comprising 14 teachers and 12 parents from various educational settings. Theoretical saturation was achieved to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the issues at hand. Data were analyzed using NVivo software, focusing on thematic analysis to extract patterns and insights relevant to the dynamics of parent-teacher interactions. Findings: Three main themes were identified: Communication Practices, Partnership Building, and Impact on Student Outcomes. Each theme revealed critical insights: effective communication practices are essential for maintaining informed and engaged relationships; partnership building based on mutual respect and trust enhances collaborative efforts; and these relationships positively influence student academic performance and social-emotional development. Conclusion: The study underscores the significant influence of robust parent-teacher relationships on student success. It highlights the need for strategic educational practices that support these relationships to foster better student outcomes.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to design and elaborate the neuro-coaching model (neuroscience of coaching) at Isfahan Steel Company. Methodology: This research is an applied study and, in terms of methodology, a mixed-methods (qualitative-quantitative) research. The statistical population of the study consisted of 15 experts from Islamic Azad Universities and managers of the Isfahan Steel Company. In the qualitative section, their opinions were used to identify and code the categories. For modeling purposes, the statistical population included a group of officials from the Isfahan Steel Company. Cochran's formula was used for sampling, resulting in a sample size of 384, and the sampling method was randomly accessible. To identify the factors, interviews were conducted initially, and with the help of open coding, selective coding, and axial coding, categories and concepts were extracted. Findings: The results of included 41 axial codes and 251 open codes. Subsequently, in the next stage, using confirmatory factor analysis, the axial, causal, contextual, intervening conditions, strategies, and outcomes were examined. Finally, consensus was reached on 209 open codes and 40 selective codes. For modeling, structural equations and partial least squares (PLS) with Smart PLS software were utilized. The results indicated that the neuro-coaching model (neuroscience of coaching) at Isfahan Steel Company is underpinned by 8 causal conditions, 8 contextual conditions, 6 intervening factors, and 7 strategies, leading to 11 major outcomes for Isfahan Steel Company. These outcomes include: improved neural process performance, personal growth and development, empowerment and psychological improvement, enhanced interactions and satisfaction, improved performance and cost reduction, psychology and personal relationships, interaction and communications, personal and psychological growth, individual and professional development, interactions and exercises, and the quality and effectiveness of neural solutions. Conclusion: In conclusion, the neuro-coaching model holds significant promise for transforming coaching practices and enhancing organizational outcomes. The integration of neuroscience principles provides a robust framework for developing more effective and scientifically grounded coaching interventions.
