The present study aims to predict the role of learning approaches, studying strategies, metacognitive strategies, and reflective thinking on students’ academic achievements. A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out in Iran. The statistical population encompasses the all 5000 students at Roudehen Islamic Azad University throughout 2020-2021. According to Morgan's Table, the sample size was estimated to be 384 persons. Five standard questionnaires including studying strategies, learning approaches, metacognitive strategies, reflective thinking and academic achievement were used for data gathering. Structural equations based on partial least squares were used to analyze the data. The results showed a moderate relationship between learning approaches and metacognitive strategies while a significant relationship was observed between learning approaches, studying strategies, and reflective thinking (P<0.05). There was also a weak relationship between learning approaches and academic achievement. Beside, a moderate relationship was observed between metacognitive strategies and academic achievement, and a significant relationship was revealed between reflective thinking and academic achievement. Numerous factors affect academic achievement. Managers and families by recognizing these variables and providing appropriate conditions could smooth the rate of success for students.

Purpose : The objective of this study was to compare effectiveness of reverse and cooperative learning methods on creativity and academic self-efficacy of female senior high school students. Methodology : This was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design and the control group. The study population consisted of female senior high school students in Ahvaz during the academic year 2019-2020. The research sample was 90 people who were randomly selected from three classes of a school and two classes were selected as experimental groups (reverse and cooperative learning) and a class was selected as a control group. Each experimental group was trained in 10 sessions of 75 min by reverse and cooperative learning methods and the control group received no training. The research tools were Abedi (1993) Creativity Test Questionnaire and Morgan-Jinks (1999) Student Efficacy Scale. The data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance and Bonferroni post hoc test using SPSS-22 software. Findings : The study results showed that experimental and control groups were significantly different in terms of creativity and academic self-efficacy (P <0.05). In other words, reverse and cooperative learning methods increased creativity and academic self-efficacy compared to the control group (P <0.05), but no significant difference was found between them in terms of creativity and academic self-efficacy (P> 0.05). Conclusion : Regarding the effectiveness of both learning methods and no significant difference between them, both reverse and cooperative learning methods can be used to increase creativity and academic self-efficacy.

 این پژوهش با هدف شناسایی ابعاد پرورش مدیران مدارس با استفاده از رویکرد آمیخته و ارائه مدل مطلوب اجرا شد. روش پژوهش به لحاظ ماهیت داده از نوع آمیخته (کیّفی و کمّی) و به لحاظ هدف از نوع کاربردی و توسعه ای بود. مشارکت کنندگان بخش کیّفی را اساتید و متخصصان مدیریت آموزشی پس از اشباع نظری به تعداد 20 نفر تشکیل داد که به صورت نمونه گیری هدفمند انتخاب شدند و جامعه آماری بخش کمّی 5404 نفر از مدیران مدارس آموزش و پرورش استان لرستان بودند که بر اساس فرمول نمونه گیری کوکران تعداد 360 نفر به صورت تصادفی خوشه ای از هر ناحیه آموزش و پرورش انتخاب شدند. گردآوری اطلاعات در بخش کیّفی به صورت مصاحبه نیمه ساختاریافته و در بخش کمّی از طریق پرسش نامه محقق ساخته بود که روایی آن با روش های تحلیل عاملی اکتشافی و پایایی آن از طریق روش باز آزمون برای کل پرسشنامه 795/0 به دست آمد. تجزیه و تحلیل داده های کیّفی با استفاده از روش اشتراس و کوربین و تجزیه و تحلیل داده های کمّی با استفاده از نرم افزار AMOS انجام شد. نتایج نشان داد که از بین 17 مقوله شناسایی شده، 5 مقوله از مدل حذف شد و مدل نهایی با 12 مقوله تخمین زده و تأیید شد.
