Firstly, the components and then their concerned questions were compiled for each sub test. Therefore, the questions of national identity (90 questions) and ethnic identity (68 questions) was arranged in a 158 question questionnaire and the questions of religious identity (72 questions) and modern identity (72 questions) in another questionnaire with 144 questions. Two questionnaires were carried out in preliminary performance on a sample of the students of Tehran Universities. After the preliminary performance, by using items' analysis method, 80 items were omitted of the first questionnaire (158 questions) and in total, 161 items were omitted. Alpha coefficient of the first questionnaire (158 questions) is 0/978 after analysis of the questions. In the second questionnaire (144 questions), the alpha coefficient is 0/957 after omitting the unsuitable items. From questions of the first questionnaire and questions of the second questionnaire, a 141 item questionnaire was formed which its alpha coefficient is 0/965. This questionnaire in main performance on a mixed sample of 410 students of Tehran was carried out. Factor analysis method was used in this step for test analysis. During factor analysis process, 31 factors were recognized in total which 13 factors could be named. In sub test of national identity, 10 factors were recognized which 5 factors could be named. Also, in modern identity 8 factors were recognized which 2 factors were definable.With regard to the results of this research, this questionnaire is of suitable reliability and validity and the obtained elements from factor analysis can measure the national and social identity of students in a suitable manner.

The sample under study included 350 students (200 boys and 150 girls) which were selected through cluster random sampling. Data for this research was collected through different questionnaires that included school connection feeling, academic burnout, and achievement motivation. All Data were analyzed utilizing Cronbach's alpha, Exploratory factor analysis, and correlation coefficient.Findings: The total Cronbach's alpha scale is calculated 88% that indicates optimal reliability. The correlation of this scale is calculated with academic burnout questionnaire in order to determine divergent validity (-0/567) that also indicated meaningful and negative correlation. Additionally, the sense of belonging to school, and achievement motivation scale is 44% that corroborates concurrent validity of sense belonging to school connection scale. The results of exploratory factor analysis expressed six factors that included: teacher’s support, engagement in the broader community, the sense of observing fairness and respect, positive feelings to school, relationship with school, academic engagment. Conclusion: measuring the sense of belonging to school scale can be applied as reliable and valid tool in educational and research situations.

In descriptive feedback presentation, beside the intellectual dimension development, other aspects of development like social, emotional and physical development are considered. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of descriptive feedback based lesson plan on English learning and retention of students at 7th grade of first high school with quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. For this purpose, 50 girl students at the 7th grade of first high school in Aleshtar town were selected through multi stage cluster sampling and examined at experimental and control groups. The instrument of this study was researcher-made learning and retention test. For analyzing the data, one variable covariance analysis was used. The result showed that there was significant difference between English learning and retention of students at experimental and control groups, and experimental group had better learning and retention. Students who were taught with descriptive feedback based lesson plan had better learning and retention in comparison with students who were taught with common and traditional methods. So, it can be said that the implementation of descriptive feedback based lesson plan paves the way for suitable change and improvement and also for presentation and implementation of modern plan in education.

In this study, answer sheets of 2872 students(1542 boys and 1330 girls) were selected by means of multistage random sampling. The data were analysed using the unidimensional Rasch simple logistic model with Winsteps software . The results revealed that all items of the test showed good model–data fit. The range of items location parameter were -2.48 to 1.83. Also the showed that targeting is not good. On the whole, the findings of this research showed that the Sampad’s Entrance Test does not have good measurement qualities, so should not be used to select students for Talent middle schools.This research has been carried out with the aim of study psychometric properties of Sampad’s Entrance Tests using Rasch measurement model.

This study was done to review effective factors on composition tests’ correction in the third grade of high school by teachers of high school in semnan province, in which 6 questions wer planned. In the present research two groups of men and women teachers, teaching in high schools,participated.at first, the research sample, including 97 persons, was prepared from among the population of teachers of geometry, persian literature and history, teaching in the centers of towns and cities of the province, as cluster sampling. Then, for gathering of the samples, we refer to all of boy and girl high schools in two determined cities that have theoretical branches; and provided each teacher of the aforesaid courses, a package including personal information questionnaire,sample questions of the relative courses, correction guidelines of them and 5 tests that were answered by the students (these 5 papers were selected randomly from among the tests of that course). 5 papers of randomly selected of tests of geometry, history and Persian literature of the third grade in high school, were encoding (a half directly as 1 to 5, and the other half indirectly as 5 to 1), and presented to the teachers for correction, in order that correct the papers according to the answers and determined score independent t-test and analysis of variance were used in comparing the average scores gained by different teachers. According to the results, in all of the 6 questions of the study, there is no meaningful difference; excepting question number 1 that in history part, there is a meaningful difference.findings of the study and applying statistical methods demonstrate that factors such as gender of the teachers, academic paper, years of service, gender of the students and rigorousness of the teachers in correction of the composition tests is not effective.
