In recent decades, unethical behaviors such as cheating and academic dishonesty have become so common among students; that it can be considered a social phenomenon. The main purpose of this research was to identify the mediating role of moral motivation in the relationship between moral identity and the academic dishonesty of students. The method of this research was a descriptive survey of correlation type and from the point of view of practical purpose. This research's statistical population included all Yasouj University students in the academic year 2021-2022. According to the purpose of the research, 400 students from this community were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. They answered the academic dishonesty questionnaires of McCabe & Trevino (1996), the moral identity of Aquino & Reed (2002), and moral motivation. Answered by Janoff Bulman & Carnes (2016). The analysis of research data has been done through the method of path analysis using IMOS software. The results of the research showed that the mediating role of moral motivation was significant in the relationship between moral identity and academic dishonesty. Also, moral identity has a significant negative relationship with academic dishonesty, moral motivation has a significant negative relationship with academic dishonesty, and moral identity has a significant positive relationship with moral motivation. The moral identity is related to students' academic dishonesty behaviors both directly and through moral motivation, therefore, to increase moral motivation and also reduce their academic dishonesty, paying attention to increasing students' moral identity can be useful and effective.

This research has been done with the aim of identifying the strengths and weaknesses of developing critical thinking from Enis' point of view in the learning management system (LMS). The main purpose of the research is to identify the aspects of LMS mediation and the decreasing and increasing changes that take place in the experiences or perceptions of learners in the field of critical thinking. Post-phenomenology, which is a philosophical approach in technological studies, allows us to examine how the experience and perception of learners change when using these technologies, so this method has been used in this research. The statistical population of the research was the students participating in virtual classes who were selected by convenience sampling and using the snowball sampling method and considering the principle of saturation, and their experiences by conducting a semi-structured interview about the use It has been investigated from the learning management system. The findings of the research show that through virtual education through LMS, easy access to various educational resources, creating opportunities for discussion and conversation in various ways, the possibility of learning in small groups, understanding diverse perspectives, environment Constructive training and the possibility of personalizing training, flexible time and place, and the possibility of strengthening problem-solving skills and developing self-efficacy are among the strengthened aspects of students in using LMS, which gives them more ability in critical thinking. . In contrast to the reduction of face-to-face interactions between learners and professors, the lack of possibility of direct and face-to-face questioning and answering, cognitive defects in the understanding and interpretation of materials, the impossibility of directly monitoring learners and the impossibility of creating a sense of participation and belonging. The differences between learners and the educational environment are obstacles for students' critical thinking.

Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the development of a causal model of communication patterns and perfectionism on test anxiety with the mediating role of learning styles among students.
Methods: The descriptive correlational research method was structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all male first-year high school students in Kermanshah in the academic year 2022-2023 (6578 people), of which 338 were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling. The research tools included the questionnaires of Koerner and Fitner Patrick's family communication patterns (1990), Najarian et al.'s perfectionism (1378), Abolghasemi et al.'s test anxiety (1375), and Kolb's learning styles (2005). Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation method, structural modeling, partial least squares (PLS) algorithm and software (SPSS) and was analyzed at a significance level of 0.05.
Findings: The findings showed that family communication patterns have a positive and significant effect (p<0.001; β=0.310) and perfectionism has a negative and significant effect (p<0.001; β=-0.257) on learning style. Also, family communication patterns have a negative and significant effect on test anxiety (p<0.001; β=-0.198), perfectionism on test anxiety (p<0.001; β=0.682), and learning style on test anxiety (p<0.001; β=-0.229). Also, the results showed that the indirect effect of the variable of family communication patterns on test anxiety through learning style was equal to (p<0.001; β=0.211) and the indirect effect of perfectionism on test anxiety through learning style was equal to (p<0.001; β=0.215).
Conclusion: Based on the research findings, it can be said that communication patterns, perfectionism, and learning styles play a key role in predicting students' test anxiety, and it seems necessary for counseling and psychotherapy centers to pay more attention to these variables in predicting students' test anxiety.

Introduction
In contemporary educational contexts, the pervasive decline in academic and research motivation among students stands out as a significant challenge within the education systems of many nations, Iran included (Azad et al., 2017). The issue of waning academic motivation among students transcends individual concerns to become a fundamental societal dilemma, with far-reaching implications for the broader community (Ghaffari, 2016). Moreover, the diminishing academic motivation in students can lead to substantial costs on both personal and societal levels (Davarinia et al., 2019). The erosion of educational motivation denotes a decline in student performance from a satisfactory standard to an unsatisfactory level (Ahmadi et al., 2023). Within the realm of agricultural education, particularly among postgraduate students, the decrease in academic motivation is exacerbated by a lack of understanding of the nature and objectives of agricultural discipline s, potentially compromising their future efficacy (Watankhah et al., 2013). Various factors contribute to the phenomenon of declining academic motivation among graduate students in agricultural studies, encompassing the quality of the learning environment, the chosen field of study, the economic circumstances of the students, and notably, their career prospects and employability (Farimani & Tashari, 2017). Consequently, this study endeavors to delve into the underlying reasons behind the diminishing academic and research motivation among postgraduate students.
Method
Aligned with the research objectives, this study adopts an exploratory research design within a qualitative paradigm, employing an inductive approach. To elucidate the underlying reasons behind the decline in academic motivation and research engagement among postgraduate students, the qualitative method of grounded theory was employed. The research population comprised the key stakeholders, namely graduate students specializing in agricultural studies. Data collection was facilitated through semi-structured interviews, conducted in person with a cohort of 35 graduate students in the field of agriculture, with each interview spanning approximately 45 minutes.
Results and Discussion
Following the completion of the open coding phase and the extraction of concepts from the raw data, the study progressed to the axial coding stage. Through focused discussions in target population focus groups and the synthesis of concepts derived from open coding, the central coding phase identified six key factors (infrastructural, educational, psychological, economic, social, managerial) contributing to the decline in academic and research motivation among graduate students in the agricultural domain.
Subsequently, a hypothetical model was constructed to delineate the intricate relationships among the identified factors and their impact on academic motivation among graduate students in agriculture. Causal conditions were categorized into two primary classes: infrastructural barriers (e.g., inadequate laboratory facilities) and educational hindrances (e.g., ineffective teacher-student interactions, unsupportive university policies, lack of motivational educational environments). Each of these classes further encompassed several subclasses. 
The psychological factor emerged as a pivotal class, comprising six distinct subclasses including uncertainties about the future, dissatisfaction with current circumstances, lack of recognition and direction, unfavorable physical and mental conditions, and interpersonal conflicts. Positioned at the core of the model, the psychological factor influenced and was influenced by other identified classes.
The economic factor, another influential class, was subdivided into categories such as macroeconomic instability, insufficient financial support for students, and students' precarious financial situations. Social issues constituted an intervening condition, encompassing subcategories like societal unrest, diminishing societal value of science, discrimination, and health crises.
In light of the findings from a qualitative study investigating the underlying causes of declining academic and research motivation among graduate students in agriculture, and drawing upon existing theories of academic and research motivation, we propose a new theoretical framework termed the "Theory of Multiple Factors Interaction". This framework posits that the interplay between infrastructural, educational, psychological, economic, social, and managerial factors significantly influences students' motivation in both academic and research contexts.
Strategies to address these challenges were encapsulated in the management class, highlighting deficiencies in educational system management and the scarcity of entrepreneurial initiatives within universities. Neglecting these strategies could lead to adverse outcomes, including students' disillusionment with their career prospects, decreased research productivity, and waning interest in pursuing postgraduate studies.
To mitigate these challenges and bolster academic motivation, recommendations were put forth, including enhancing awareness of contributing factors, providing incentives to encourage students' educational pursuits, enhancing the efficacy of university counseling services, and organizing seminars and workshops focused on enhancing academic motivation.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between school attachment and academic hardiness, considering the mediating role of cognitive flexibility and motivational structure of second-year high school students in the academic year 1400-1401. The method of the present study was descriptive-correlational in terms of purpose and applied in terms of nature, and survey in terms of method. The statistical population was 2000 second-year high school students in Tabriz, of which 300 were selected as samples based on the Morgan table using multi-stage cluster random sampling. To collect data, the Rezai Sharif School Attachment Questionnaire, Martin and Robbins' cognitive flexibility, Benishek et al.'s academic hardiness, and Cox and Klinger's motivational structure were used. The data were analyzed using Smart-Pls-3 and SPSS 23. The results showed that the path of school connection with academic hardiness (r=0.239, t=299.3), school connection with cognitive flexibility (r=0.309, t=684.5), school connection with motivational structure (r=0.279, t=5.009), cognitive flexibility with academic hardiness (r=0.229, t=965.2) and motivational structure with academic hardiness (r=0.282, t=133.5) was significant (P<0.05). Also, the results of the Sobel test showed that cognitive flexibility plays a mediating role in the relationship between school connection with academic hardiness (Z=2.608) and cognitive flexibility can mediate 22.9% of the relationship between school connection with academic hardiness. Also, motivational structure can play a mediating role in the relationship between school attachment and academic hardiness (Z=3.539) and motivational structure can mediate 24.8% of the relationship between school attachment and academic hardiness.

The aim of this study was to predict interpersonal problems based on defense mechanisms and psychological traumas with regard to the mediating role of emotion control. This study is a correlational research and structural equation modeling was used. The statistical population of the present study included all students of Tehran Azad University, Science and Research Branch, who were studying in the academic year 1402-1403. The sample size was 220 people who were selected through convenience sampling. To collect information, the Williams et al. emotion control questionnaire, the Anders et al. defense mechanisms questionnaire, the Barkham et al. interpersonal problems questionnaire, and the Najarian and Davoudi mental disorder symptoms questionnaire were used. The data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation method and structural equation modeling. The results showed that the indices of the proposed model have an acceptable fit and all paths except the path from the neurotic mechanism to interpersonal problems and emotion control and the developed mechanism to emotion control were accepted. Also, the mediating role of emotion control for the indirect effects of psychological trauma and the underdeveloped mechanism was confirmed. Given that human emotions and feelings play a very important role in human behavior and communication, the mediating role of emotion control can help in better understanding defense mechanisms and psychological trauma in interpersonal communication.

The aim of this study is to investigate organizational support in educational institutions. The study population is elementary, junior high and senior high schools for girls and boys in District 15 of Tehran. The study sample includes 17 educational and administrative staff of schools (11 teachers, 3 assistants and 3 principals) and 3 experts in the field of human resources (an expert in charge of welfare and cooperation of the Education Department of District 15, an expert in women and youth affairs of one of the Education Departments and a manager of the Human Resources Development Department in a private company). This research was conducted using a qualitative and phenomenological method, in the form of semi-structured interviews, then the data were classified using open, axial and selective coding. The results of coding and data analysis indicate a major difference in the level of organizational support in the Education Department and other government institutions. Also, the analysis of the results indicates that many teachers do not have a precise definition of the concept of organizational support and mainly consider this category to include financial support and consider financial and welfare factors (male teachers) and emotional and financial factors (female teachers) to be the most influential factors on organizational support and its perception. Also, the data analysis indicates that the status and status of teachers in society in the past was much higher than it is now, and teachers enjoyed more support from students' parents and society, and all the people present in the study unanimously called for increased financial and judicial support. In this regard, fundamental changes in upstream documents and laws and training in organizational support and its components in in-service courses for teachers can greatly affect the creation of a supportive organization and culture in the education and training organization; such conditions can be effective in improving the morale and motivation of teachers in schools and return the lost status and dignity of teachers to them.

Introduction: Interaction is not limited to face-to-face relationships between the teacher and students in the classroom, but also occurs between the teacher and students through technology in an online environment. And it is one of the most important components of any learning experience. The idea of learning without interaction is meaningless, and this element plays a fundamental role in the effectiveness and success of today's blended learning systems. In past studies, the effect of interaction on online learning has been less discussed, and there is scattered empirical research that shows how online interactions should be used to improve meaningful and effective learning. Therefore, the purpose of the current research is to identify the types of interaction in the online learning environment and what effects the interaction will have and how it can be effective in the online curriculum. The questions of the current research include the following:
What are the indicators of online interaction? What are the effects of interaction in the online learning environment? And what factors contribute to the effectiveness of interaction in the online curriculum?
Method: The paradigm of the current research is qualitative, and among the different qualitative research approaches, research synthesis was used to present the types of interaction, effects and effectiveness factors of interaction in the online curriculum, which is a special form of review research. Research synthesis is used to describe the approaches of combining, aggregating, integrating and synthesizing primary research. The inclusion criteria for experimental research include valid Persian and English articles from 2005 to 2021, and the exclusion criteria include invalid articles before 2005. The target population of this research is literature in the field of learning, online curriculum and texts related to e-learning, and the sample size for related literature is to the extent that the researcher can reach the answers to the research questions based on the input and output criteria in the research synthesis method. 41 studies were selected for the final synthesis.
Discussion and conclusion: The data analysis shows that there are multiple interactions between the learner, the instructor, the content, the technology, and the support. All of these interactions are connected by a web of relationships and are all part of a larger system and are considered central to a successful learning experience by actively engaging students in online learning. Changes in each of these elements affect other elements and levels of interaction. The effects of interaction include processing ideas and consciously answering questions and problems, creating deep and well-reasoned discussions, scientific focus, creating a sense of belonging, providing an impersonal experience, creating goals, shared values and a sense of trust, less time pressure, reducing isolation and fear. , broad participation of learners, closing the communication gap, the possibility of creating new knowledge, providing a continuous learning experience and motivation for continuous improvement, strengthening critical thinking, better academic performance, participation in active learning and the effectiveness of interaction is achieved by factors such as immediate feedback, simultaneity or frequency of interaction, non-personal interaction, the nature of discussion questions, reducing factors for the response level of learners, learning community, characteristics of learners, teachers' facilitation.
After analyzing the data for validation by using the fuzzy Delphi method, questions with the number of indicators were prepared and given to 32 experts in two rounds. To express the importance of each index, linguistic variables were used based on the Likert scale and converted into triangular fuzzy numbers. Then, the fuzzy average of the scores was obtained and converted into a definite number. Based on this, the difference between the average of the first and second rounds of fuzzy Delphi is less than 0.1, which shows the consensus of experts about the criteria and indicators of interaction. The framework of this study can help policy makers, planners and practitioners in the field of education to use the types of interaction presented in this review in the online curriculum. Also, use interaction effectiveness factors to improve and enhance learning and the potential abilities of diverse learners. It is recommended that for an effective learning, the context for multiple interactions is provided and the learning results obtained from the interaction, the relationship between the learners' understanding of interactive performance and the frequency of their use of multiple interactions are examined.

The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the mediating role of intentional organizational forgetting in the relationship between distributed leadership and organizational flourishing among elementary school teachers in Aslandooz city. The research employed a descriptive-correlational design of the structural equation modeling (SEM) type. The statistical population consisted of 254 elementary school teachers in Aslandooz, from which, based on Morgan’s table, 153 individuals were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using the Distributed Leadership Questionnaire, the Organizational Flourishing Questionnaire, and the Intentional Organizational Forgetting Questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was employed for data analysis. The results indicated that the direct effect of distributed leadership on organizational flourishing was statistically significant. Moreover, the indirect effect of distributed leadership on organizational flourishing through the mediating variable of intentional organizational forgetting was also significant, indicating a positive impact of distributed leadership on organizational flourishing. Additionally, the path coefficient between distributed leadership and intentional organizational forgetting revealed a positive influence of distributed leadership on intentional organizational forgetting.
