Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of academic motivation in self-directed learning and academic vitality. The research method was descriptive-correlational (path analysis of structural equations). The statistical population included all students of Shahid Madani University of Azerbaijan in the academic year 2019-2020, whose number was 8000, of which 244 students (172 girls and 72 boys) were selected as a sample by multi-stage cluster sampling were examined. In the present study, self-directed learning questionnaires of Fisher et al. (2001), academic motivation of Leper et al. (2005) and academic vitality of Hossein Chari and Dehghanizadeh (2012) were used as data collection tools. Structural equation method and Emos software were used to analyze the data. The results of path analysis showed that in the proposed model, the assumed model fits with the research data. The direct effect of self-directed learning on academic motivation and the direct effect of academic motivation on academic vitality were both significant at the level (P <0.01). Also, the indirect effect of self-directed learning on academic vitality (P <0.05) was significant. Self-directed learning explains 0.26 percent of motivation changes and 0.16 percent of vitality variance. Therefore, paying attention to self-directed learning has an important role in students' academic motivation and academic vitality.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explain and analyze the methods of aesthetic education from Plotinus' point of view based on the perception of beauty to enhance the intellectual experiences of learners. Inferential analytical research method using Frankenna's model. The results of the research showed that the soul, as a person, recognizes beauty as experiences of self-knowledge, art, love and knowledge, and by gaining aesthetic experiences, provides the ground for its excellence and influence on others. Aesthetic experience has a motivating role in intellectual activities and the elements of aesthetics can turn intellectual activity into an aesthetic experience and make it transcendent. The experience of aesthetics as a basic competency is not limited to a specific field and activity and has implications for the goals, content and teaching and learning methods at the level of educators and educators and the curriculum. The ultimate goal of Plotinus' aesthetic education is to unite with the origin of beauty and to achieve reasonable beauties. Aesthetic training methods include self-discovery, visual observation, imagination and self-deployment, and inner insight. These practices are appropriate and corresponding to the components of transcendental intellectual experiences, including; originality, intuition, inner mobility, dynamism and interaction, enthusiasm and passion.

Abstract
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.
