Abstract: This cross-sectional study conducted to develop a model for predicting academic achievement of university students by investigating the relationship between teaching skills, academic emotions (positive and negative), and academic stress associated with Mindset (growth and fixed) using structural equation modeling. The statistical population consisted of 360 students of the Islamic Azad University of Hamedan who were selected randomly using a relative stratified method. The study was descriptive and correlational. The data were analyzed by SPSS version 25 and SmartPLS version 3.2.8. First, the validity of the model was estimated using Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability, convergent validity, and divergent validity; then, the coefficient of determination, effect size, and Stone-Geisser criterion were calculated for evaluating the structural model. The results showed that the validity and adequacy of the suggested model were suitable. Thus, it could be used in differe...

Background and Purpose: Development of critical and analytical thinking is an important research goal and researches have been always concerned with searching for new methods of critical and analytical thinking and testing them for finding the most efficient methods. Therefore, present research aimed to investigate the effect of teaching with a myth busting method on the critical and analytical thinking of students with the moderating role of social achievement goals. Method: This study was a quasi-experimental research with pretest-posttest control group design. The study sample included 65 female students studying at the 8 th grade of middle school in Tehran in the academic year 2016-2017, who were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method and then randomly assigned to either the experimental or the control group. Social Motivational Orientations Scale (Allen, 2003) and Critical Thinking Test (Cornell, 1985) were used for pretest. The experimental group received 10 sessions of thinking and life style with scientific myth buster method. Also, students with higher and lower social achievement goal orientation were separated from each other by using Social Goal Questionnaire. Finally, the groups underwent the posttest. Data were analyzed by factorial analysis of covariance. Results: Data analysis (by using social goals as the moderator) showed that teaching with myth buster scientific method was significantly effective in improving the critical thinking of students (F=36.01, P<0.001). Conclusion: The benefits of the myth buster scientific method combined with the identification of social achievement goals can approve its use as an appropriate educational method to improve critical thinking skills. Students with higher social goals have higher participation in class activities, which in turn leads to their higher critical thinking. This myth buster scientific method can improve critical thinking skills.

The statistical population consisted the students(female) in the gifted schools in Isfahan who were selected 30 students through purposive sampling and were placed randomly into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 8 sessions (50 minutes) as intervention group. The research instrument was the Connolly (1989) social self-efficacy scale. Data were analyzed using MANCOVA and SPSS 23. Results: Findings showed that the motivational intervention based on Dweck's mind set significantly influenced on increasing gifted student's social self-efficacy in terms of components of social assertiveness, performance in social situations, participation in social groups, aspects of friendship and intimacy and helping or receiving help (p≤0/05).

Background and Purpose: One of the basic and new explanations for the treatment of learning disabilities is the model of executive functions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of executive functions (transfer, inhibition, updating, continuous functioning and planningorganizing) in predicting the learning performance of students with learning disabilities. Method: The present study is a descriptive-correlational study. The statistical population consisted of all primary school students with learning disabilities in Mashhad in the academic year of 2016-2017. 116 students were selected through a random sampling method. Wisconsin test (Heaton et al., 1993), the stroop complex assignment (Stroup, 1935), the London tower test (Shallis, 1982), the working memory test (Wechsler, 2003), and continuous performance test (Rooseveld et al., 1956) were used as research tools. To evaluate the predictive power of academic performance through the variables of executive actions, the LaserL structural model was used. Results: The results showed that the model is fitted with research data. The results of structural analysis showed that among executive functions, response inhibitory variable and active memory have a greater role in predicting the academic performance of students with learning disabilities in reading, writing and maths (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, executive functions such as responsive inhibition, working memory, and mental flexibility are required as cognitive activities in reading, writing, and mathematics, which should be considered in the educational and rehabilitation curriculum of these students.

Introduction: Learning disabilities is one of the neuropsychological disorders that refers to delay and decrease in students' performance in some subjects, such as arithmetic, reading, writing, spelling and speaking, therefore they create a significant gap between students' potential and actual performance. Aim: The aim of this study has been meta-analysis of the effect of psychological nervous interventions on improving academic performance in students with specific learning disabilities. Method: This study has been performed by the meta-analysis method. The statistical population includes dissertations and researches published in scientific-research journals that have been done over the past 10 years (2009-2018) in the field of neuropsychological interventions to improve the academic performance in students with learning disabilities in Iran. Sample size was out of 36 studies which 24 methodologically that they were acceptable and the meta-analysis has been performed on them. The research tool is the meta-analysis checklist. Results: These researches were based on 695 samples and 24 effect sizes. The findings showed, the effect size of the nervous interventions on academic performance improving in students with specific learning disabilities was d =1.58 (p = 0.001). According to Cohen's table this effect size is high. Conclusion: The results indicated that these neuropsychological interventions have had a great effect on improving students' academic performance with specific learning disabilities. Furthermore, it is recommended for the experts to use these interventions on improving academic performance on these students. Moreover, based on different therapeutic approaches, it is important to consider the cultural context in different societies.
