Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine teachers’ perceptions towards research by first investigating teachers’ conceptions about research and second, by examining the extent to which teachers read and do research. Methodology: To this end, the participants of the present study were 98 English language teachers from language institutes and schools. Utilizing Borg’s (2009) questionnaire, at first, the questionnaire responses were analyzed to determine the teachers’ view of research; in this section, the teachers were asked to point out to what extent they felt the activities described in 10 scenarios were or were not research. Findings: The results indicated that three scenarios were considered to be “probably research” and scenarios 4, 5 and 6 were regarded as “definitely research” by the participants. On the other hand, two scenarios were recognized as “definitely research”. The results of the second research question showed that among 98 English teachers only 24 teachers “often or sometimes” read published research which is a very high index. Teachers’ reasons for the answers to the second research question were lack of time, knowledge, access to resources, and institutional support. The findings of this research indicate that teachers’ conceptions of research are very near to conventional scientific theories. Only 12.2% of the teachers mentioned that they “do research”. Conclusion: the findings of the present study may be useful for teachers who want to promote their English teaching as such findings are suggested to improve their level of engagement in research activities, and consequently the quality of their research.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy education on students' responsibility. Methodology: The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test with control group. The statistical population of this study was all female students of Shahid صادقیSecondary School (District 6) in Tehran during the school year of 2018-2019. The sample consisted of 30 students (15 experimental group, 15 control group) from those who had a lower than average deviation from the responsibility scale and were randomly selected and divided into two groups of 15 experimental and control groups. Were. The experimental group received 8 sessions of acceptance and commitment therapy training while the control group did not receive any intervention. To measure the variables, Kordlow Liability Questionnaire (2008) was administered to both groups and data obtained from pre-test and post-test using multivariate analysis of covariance. And univariate analysis was performed. Findings: The results of multivariate and univariate analysis of covariance showed that acceptance and commitment therapy education increased the students' responsibility in comparison with the control group in the post-test. (P <0.05). conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that acceptance and commitment based training can be used to promote accountability and its components. Acceptance and commitment based therapy can be part of intervention programs in counseling centers. Schools should be targeted to increase accountability of target groups.

purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of teaching positive thinking skills on decreasing depression among female students of the Sabzevar University of Sabzevar. Methodology: The study population consisted of all female students of Azad University of Sabzevar Branch in the academic year of 97-96, including 30 people who were selected using purposeful sampling. They were randomly assigned to the experimental group (15) and the control group (15 People) was replaced. The Beck Depression Inventory and Positive Thinking Training Package, which was set up in 9 sessions one and a half hours, was used to collect data. Finding: The results of statistical analyses showed that teaching positive thinking skills with an effect size of 0.13 reduces students' depression. Therefore, there is a significant difference between the effect of teaching positive thinking skills on reducing depression (p <0.05). Conclusion: At the end of the treatment sessions, students learned in both groups to choose their own behaviors in order to attain their demands, each of whom should choose responsible behaviors while maintaining ethical principles and applying optimistic, correct and responsible actions to Your wishes are also met. Teaching positive thinking skills creates a supportive and safe environment where students can experience a feeling of acceptance and psychosocial security, which brings greater compatibility and fewer conflicts.

Purpose: Epistemological beliefs mean what people believe about the nature of knowledge and knowing that can be related to areas such as learning and theory of mind.The purpose of the present study was to investigate the growth of epistemological beliefs in 9-year-old girl children. Methodology: This was a qualitative grounded theory study. The study population consisted of elementary third grade girl students in Babolsar city in 1397. A sample of 20 students through purposeful sampling method with Theoretical saturation was selected and the epistemological beliefs of these participants were examined in two stages over a period of one year. The research tool was in-depth interviews with emphasis on "draw, write, tell" technique which was used in both stages. Coding was also used to analyze the data. The validity of the findings was evaluated by triangulation method including expert review, continuous comparison of data and different methods of data collection. Findings: The epistemological beliefs of children emerged in five dimensions, including ' Ownership ', ‘Innateness’, ' Exactness', 'simplicity' and ‘pace’. Each of these dimensions was relatively complex, and developed over a period of one year, especially in dimension of ownership. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be said that the development of girl children's epistemological beliefs towards more complex beliefs can occur if necessary conditions are in instructional Environments.
