Abstract

The present study has been carried out with the aim of standardizing invitational teaching survey (ITS) and investigating its relationship with intelligence beliefs and performance of high school students in Kashmar city (Iran). The research population comprised all male and female students studying at high schools in the academic year of 2009-2010 in Kashmar town. The research sample included 540 students (270 females, 270 males), selected through multi-stage random sampling: the city was divided into three regions (north, center, south), then four schools in each region and three classes in each school were randomly selected. Research instruments consisted of (a) Invitational Teaching Survey (Amos, Purkey, Tobias, 1980; Revised 1990; shaw 2003); (b) Intelligence Beliefs Questionnaire (Zabihi, 2005). Grade point average was used as an indicator of students' academic performance. Data were analyzed using step by step regression analysis, Pearson correlation, one-sided ANOVA, and t-test. The results showed that (a) the invitational teaching survey has high reliability and validity; (b) incremental and inherent components of intelligence beliefs and consideration, patience, skill, and commitment components of invitational education are the best predictors of students academic performance; (c) there is a significant relationship between  invitational education components and those of intelligence beliefs; (d) there is significant relationship between intelligence beliefs and academic performance. These findings have some implications for effective teaching and learning, which are discussed in this article
