The present study focuses on realising the desired Islamic state to achieve "the Islamic Goals and Modern Islamic Civilization" based on the geometry and intelligent system of Ayatollah Khamenei. His innovative system includes five stages: 1) The realisation of the principle of "the Islamic Revolution," 2) The completion of "the Islamic System," 3) The culmination of "the Desired Islamic State," 4) The emergence of "the Islamic Country," and finally, 5) The formation of "a Modern Islamic Civilization." It is because an Islamic state makes an Islamic country that seeks to achieve the total goals of the Islamic Revolution, as Ayatollah Khamenei acknowledges. Forming a condition appropriate to the Islamic Revolution requires individuals and elements with solid beliefs who have the necessary qualities and characteristics and play a prominent role in realising the desired Islamic state. Ayatollah Khamenei’s interpretation is "the Specifics" or "the Specific Righteous State Builders." In this research, they are the specific righteous state builders. In his thought, tasks must be realised and achieved logically by identifying the specific righteous state builders. In the research model of Imam Khomeini's transcendent education, human grows through the strengthening of reason among the existential powers and in terms of epistemology, through the strengthening of morality and jurisprudence. Thus, he can reach perfection and receive comprehensive Islamic education, as desired by Imam Khomeini. In the research hypothesis, the formation of the specific righteous state builders has been considered the solution to the shape of a desired Islamic state based on the Leader of the Revolution's view and following Imam Khomeini's transcendent education. To this aim, the present study has explored the characteristics of the specific righteous state builders based on the opinion of the wise Leader of the Revolution by examining the basis of Imam Khomeini's transcendent education. The result indicated that: "As Imam Khomeini stated, perfect humans have appropriate training in different existential layers of intellect, heart and appearance". Accordingly, the "Educational Dimensions" of Ayatollah Khamenei’s "Specific Righteous State Builders" can be categorised into three dimensions of "Religious Education," "Ethical Education," and "Behavioral Education."

This quantitative study intended to investigate Iranian EFL Teachers' attitudes towards the use of instructional technology in their classroom and its impact on their self-efficacy. Eighty teachers were surveyed using Teacher Sense of Self-Efficacy Survey (TSES) and the Media Technology Usage and Attitudes Scale (MTUAS). The first research question was designed to examine teachers' attitudes towards the use of instructional technology within the classroom and its effects on their self-efficacy and concerning the subscales of teacher self-efficacy, the findings significantly predicted the impacts of the use of instructional technology on teachers’ self-efficacy. In addition, after analyzing the data using Multiple Regression Analysis, it was further discovered that teacher self-efficacy had a significant relationship with the ability to integrate all of the sub-groups: smartphones, the internet, social media, texting, and email; The results showed that emails and smartphones, two subscales of media questionnaire, could highly predict the significant impacts of the use of integrated technology on teachers' self-efficacy. The findings suggested that training for technology-related components may not need to focus on how to use the technologies, but focusing more on how the technologies can benefit the classroom and help learners to improve their learning within the classroom.
