This research aimed to design and evaluate the effectiveness model of educational organizations based on the social systems model in high schools of Shiraz city. This research employed a sequential exploratory mixed-method (qualitative-quantitative) design and conducted as a case study in some high schools in Shiraz. The research, in the form of a thematic network, was designed as one overarching theme, 6 organizing themes, and 42 foundational themes. The organizing themes included components related to: teacher's human factors, student's human factors, parents' human factors and, structural, social, and educational-research components. Based on these, a proposed research model Introduced. In the instrument development phase, a researcher-made questionnaire on school effectiveness, derived from the qualitative findings, designed. The statistical population consisted of teachers and included students majoring in mathematics - physics, in Shiraz high schools. For evaluating the research model, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis methods employed. The fit indexes were indicators of the validity of the organizational effectiveness model with an approach toward the effectiveness of educational organizations. The findings of this research revealed that, in sequence, the human factors of the teacher are educational, the parents' human factors are structural and student's human factors are social research. Accordingly, it emphasizes the imperative attention of the relevant executives and officials towards implementing the research model.

The main question of the present research was theorizing controversies and their reason in educational administration studies. The search for the answer to this question was done by genealogical method. In the present thesis, an attempt was made to investigate the end and method of theorizing and its supposed reasons as the two main topics of discussion in this controversy, by Foucaultian genealogy. Following the search for the roots, this study led to the discovery of the sources of theorizing, including scientific power and governmentality, three conflicting discourses of theorizing, and two major ruptures in the theorizing process of educational administration studies. The discourses were identified and divided into three categories: “conventionalism”, “sanctification of science” and “evolution”, and the ruptures were categorized as “methodological rupture” and “teleological rupture”. According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that educational administration studies are on the one hand considered by experts in the fields of education and social sciences, and on the other hand, are favored by politicians and rulers as a political tool for governments. Contrary to the claims of many competing theories, the emergence of theory in educational administration studies in its global origin has been a tool of political governance rather than seeking to achieve ideal goals such as awareness, welfare, educational justice, democracy, freedom and education. Following the expansion of colonial territories in the European and American governments, facing the huge population of colonized countries such as India and China and the ineffectiveness of previous models of governance, technological tools of discipline from authoritarian and force-based governance are changed to governance based on the education and training of individuals in accordance with the demands of the ruler systems. In other words, according to the conflicting discourses and double ruptures, theorizing in educational administration studies from Foucault’s point of view as a technology of discipline in the modern era, where it has followed political purposes, has had no advantage for this field of study, and every theory with a new claim has increased the ambiguity and confusion in its theoretical nature.

The aim of the study was to investigate the role of synergistic leadership of school principals and systematic innovation of school organization in organizational entrepreneurship with the mediation of organizational ambidexterity and teachers' productive behaviors. The research population was all the teachers of technical and vocational schools in Tehran province, and a sample of 364 teachers was selected from this population using proportional stratified random sampling based on Cochran's formula. The quantitative research method is correlation studies and covariance-based structural equation modeling approach. In order to collect data from the researcher-made Synergistic leadership questionnaire; the researcher-made Systematic innovation questionnaire; the Organizational ambidexterity questionnaire of Jansen (2006); the researcher-made Teachers' productive behaviors questionnaire; and the Organizational entrepreneurship questionnaire of Hughes & Morgan (2007) were used. The reliability and validity of questionnaires were evaluated by the Cronbach's alpha techniques, content validity ratio, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. In order to analyze the data and test the research hypotheses, correlation matrix analysis and structural equation modeling were used by SPSS 25 and LISREL 10.5 software. The results showed that: synergistic leadership and systematic innovation had a direct, positive and significant effect on organizational ambidexterity, teachers' productive behaviors and organizational entrepreneurship. synergistic leadership and systematic innovation had a positive and significant indirect effect on organizational entrepreneurship through organizational ambidexterity and teachers' productive behaviors. The variables of synergistic leadership, systematic innovation, organizational ambidexterity and teachers' productive behaviors were able to explain 0.37 of the variance of organizational entrepreneurship

The present study was conducted in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention program of social competence on social anxiety and the school bonding of the first year elementary school students of Sanandaj city. This research is semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test-follow-up design and control group. The tool used in this research is the Spence Anxiety Questionnaire and the Link Questionnaire with the Brown and Evans School. From the mentioned society, 26 students of 7-9 years old with symptoms of social anxiety were assigned to two experimental groups (13 people) and control group (13 people) by simple random sampling method. Before starting the training process, both groups were pre-tested. After the completion of the intervention process, a post-test was conducted for both groups and after one month of the post-test, a follow-up test was conducted for both groups. The results of the covariance analysis showed that the social competence intervention program had a significant effect on reducing social anxiety and increasing students' school bonding (p<0.001). Therefore, it can be concluded that the intervention program of social competence has a good effect on bonding with school and reducing their social anxiety, so the use of this intervention program is recommended by teachers, psychiatrists, psychologists and counselors.

Today, with the virtualization of education, schools no longer have their former identity and the sense of belonging to the school among students is decreasing, so it is necessary to provide educational solutions to improve the sense of belonging to the school. Collaborative learning was carried out on belonging to the school of secondary school students. The present research method was semi-experimental in terms of practical nature and in terms of the intervention method. The research population was 60 second high school students of Sanandaj city, in two intervention groups and one control group. The research tools included reverse learning package (Mahmodi et al., 2023), GI cooperative learning package (Kazemi et al., 2022) and Brown and Evans (2002) sense of belonging to school questionnaire were used to analyze the effectiveness of the analytical test. Covariance was used. Based on the results of the educational intervention, the pattern of reverse learning and cooperative learning has a positive and significant effect on students' belonging to the school (sig<0.05). Also, the findings showed that there is a significant difference between teaching the reverse learning educational program and teaching based on cooperative learning on belonging to the school of students (sig <0.05). Reverse learning is more effective on belonging to the school than cooperative learning. Therefore, based on the results of education based on reverse learning, considering the increase of student involvement in class activities and strengthening the motivations of attending the classroom, it can be effective on belonging to the school of students.
