Abstract

 
Developmental self-regulation has an essential role on the process of learning in students. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of problem solving skills training on self regulated learning strategies (planning, manitoring & control, and reflection) in distance education students. Statistical population of this research consisted all of distance education students of payamenour university (80 students). The sample was 30 students that were selected randomly out of 80 people. These students were randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. Participants were asked to complete the self regulation in learning questionaire. experimental group participated in 5 sessions (1 session a week). Each session lasted for 90 minutes. Unisef problem solving skills training was employed on experimental group as independent variable. Covariance analysis showed that there is a significant difference between mean scores of experimental and control groups (p < 0/001). The results showed that self regulated learning strategies (planning, manitoring, control, and reflection) of distance education students could be influenced by problem solving training.

Abstract

Background: According to the performed research, different variables effects on the middle-aged women happiness but health status, financial distress, social support, self-esteem and positive thinking role have ignored as the perfect modeling.
Aims: This research has performed for studying type of happiness, health status, financial distress, social support, self-esteem and positive thinking role in middle-aged women whom live in Arak.
Methods: This research has been as the descriptive, correlation and structural equations. Statistical society included women whom are 36-55 years old and live in Arak in 2019. 408 persons were selected for performing research. All of them filed in the public health questionnaires (Goldberg and Hiller, 1979), financial distress (Provitz et al., 2006) social support (Zimet et al., 1988) self-esteem (Rosenberg, 1963) positive thinking (Ingram and Wisnicki, 1988) and Oxford happiness (Hills and Argil, 2002). Pearson correlation methods and structural equations modeling were used for data analysis.
Results: The results indicated that health variable (0.12, 0.15 and 0.18) financial distress (-0.18, -0.36 and -0.22) and social support (0.46, 0.55 and 0.43) has significant effects on self-esteem, positive thinking and happiness. In addition, that self-esteem and positive thinking variables has direct and significant effects on happiness. The results indicated that three variables, health variable (0.13) financial distress (-0.10) social support (0.12) has indirect and significant effect on self-esteem, positive thought and happiness on middle-aged women.
Conclusion: Thhis modeling is used for improving middle-aged women happiness and the principles of happiness, different types of social support, health status, financial distress, self-esteem and positive thinking and effective antecedents can be addressed in educational, social and communication media. A systematic review of previous research reveals that many factors explain self-injury behaviors in individuals. The measurement of self-injury and its relevant statements is of great importance; however, this aspect is disregarded in Persian research.

Abstract

Background: Dyslexia is an unpredictable neurological problem. One of the language components for dyslexics is the use of compensatory strategies. Although the use of phonological methods to improve reading is very common among Persian language researchers, compensatory strategies in the Persian language have not received much attention. Therefore, examining and applying these language strategies in the Persian language is one of the necessities of designing improvement methods for dyslexics, which few studies have addressed.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of using cognitive compensatory strategies based on special processing of dyslexia on text comprehension, reading accuracy, and speed in Persian-speaking children.
Methods: The method of the present research is a pre-test-post-test type experiment. The statistical population was all the second-grade students of the dyslexic primary school in Semnan, from which a sample was selected using a random cluster method. A total of 31 people were selected for the sample. The research tools were the Frostig Visual Perception Test (Frostig, 1996), Shirazi and Nilipour's reading test (2010), and the researcher's test. The provided training protocol was (Clark Wellion, 2011). For data analysis, a covariance analysis test was used in spss software.
Results: Examining the covariance of visual perception levels (high-medium) on the post-test scores of the group trained in the compensatory method shows that the effect of visual perception is effective in reducing reading errors and also the length of reading time according to a significance level lower than 0.05.
Conclusion: According to the findings of this research, it can be concluded that the use of compensatory and phonological methods together can help to improve the accuracy, speed, and comprehension of dyslexic texts; Therefore, to improve reading components in dyslexics, different cognitive abilities and compensatory strategies used in them should be known and used.
