The present study was conducted with the aim of constructing and investigating the factor structure of students' research engagement questionnaire. The research method was survey and the statistical population includes all of the postgraduate students of humanities faculty (Literature and Humanities, Islamic Theology and Science, Sport Sciences, Education and Psychology, Administrative and Economic Sciences) at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (N=3199). Using Cochran formula, the sample size was estimated to be 343 student. The participants were selected by stratified random sampling. The theoretical model Linnenbrink and Pintrich (2002) was determined as the basis of scale construction. This model includes three components of cognitive, emotional, and leadership engagement. SPSS and AMOS software are used for data analysis. Content validity and confirmatory factor analysis were used to determine the validity of the questionnaire and Cronbach's alpha coefficient to check the reliability. The results showed that the alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.89 and for cognitive (0.80), emotional (0.73) and behavioral (0.76). Content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by 8 experts of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (based on CVI) and inappropriate items were removed. Goodness indicators confirmed the fit of the model. According to the research results the research engagement questionnaire had good internal consistency and validity and this questionnaire can be used in research.

Emotions are intimately involved in virtually every aspect of the teaching and learning process and good teaching is charged with positive emotions. Therefore; an understanding of the nature of emotions within the educational context is essential. This study aimed to investigate the Psychometric Properties of the emotions in the teaching Inventory of Trigwell (2012). The research method was descriptive-correlative. Teachers of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad were the research population. The required sample size was determined 280 based on the Cochran formula and participants were selected by the relative class sampling method. The Content Validity of inventory was evaluated by 5 experts based on the CVI Index. The validity was determined by confirmatory factor analysis and the reliability of ETI was confirmed by internal consistency (Cochran`s alpha) and test-retest method. The goodness of fit indexes was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Also, the alpha coefficient for total size was 0/89 and for subscales was from 0/73 to 0/84. Hence, Results showed that Emotions in the teaching Inventory had acceptable psychometric properties in the sample of university teachers and can be used as a valid scale in studies related to the teaching emotions.
