Purpose: Given the educational mission of universities in Iran, paying attention to the ethical component in the education and training of human resources is essential. Therefore, the preparation and validation of a native instrument for assessing the professional ethics of the educational staff appears to be necessary. The aim of this study was to construct and normalize a scale for assessing the professional ethics of faculty members at Farhangian University. Methodology: The present study was a sequential exploratory mixed method research. For this purpose, a sample of 267 faculty members and staff of Farhangian University in the northwest of the country was selected using a cluster sampling method. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire. For data analysis, in addition to descriptive indices, Cronbach's alpha and retest methods were used to assess reliability, and factor analysis, content validity, and convergent validity methods were used through SPSS-V22 and Lisrel-V8.8 software. Findings: Based on the results of the exploratory factor analysis, using varimax rotation, honesty, justice, respect, responsibility, adherence to laws, loyalty, and preservation of human dignity were identified as components of professional ethics among faculty members of Farhangian University. Conclusion: Overall, the results showed that this scale has satisfactory reliability and validity in assessing the professional ethics of faculty members.

Purpose: Educational activities play an important role in the growth and flourishing of talents and abilities. As a result, the current research was conducted with the aim of evaluating the model of implementing educational activities in the preschool period. Methodology: This study in terms of purpose was practical and terms of implementation method was qualitative from type of exploratory. The statistical population of the present study was all the preschool period teachers in the east of Tehran province, numbering 1830 people who based on Cochran's formula the sample size was estimated to be 318 people who were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. The data was collected with a researcher-made questionnaire of educational activities in the preschool period with 110 items and its face validity was confirmed by the opinion of 30 experts and its reliability was evaluated suitable by Cronbach's alpha method. Data were analysed by exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling methods in SPSS and AMOS software. Findings: The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that the model of implementing educational activities in the preschool period had 110 indicators in 20 components and 8 dimensions. Its dimensions and components were included goals (with 2 components of general goal and partial goal), content (with 5 components of children's educational ability, analysis ability, content comparison ability, content recombination and content production training), teaching and learning strategies (with 2 component of teaching characteristics and teaching techniques), learning activities (with 2 components of personalized learning and active learning), grouping (with 3 components of individual characteristics of the child, various forms of group activities and emotional and social characteristics), resources (with 3 components of required resources and facilities , characteristics of resources and materials and use of visual resources and materials), evaluation (with 1 component of child evaluation characteristics), time and place (with 2 components of time management and space management) which their content validity ratio was calculated higher than 0.70 and their reliability with Cronbach's alpha method was calculated higher than 0.70. Conclusion: The confirmed model of implementing educational activities in the preschool period of the current research can help the specialists and planners of the education system in designing and implementing programs to improve the educational activities in the preschool period.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to identify the factors affecting educational policy-making based on the third millennium characteristics. Methodology : This study was applied in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of implementation of the data foundation type. The research population was the documents in 2009 to 20019 and educational policy-making experts in 2019, among which 15 were chosen according to the original saturation principle with purposive sampling method. The research tool was a semi-structured interview, whose validity was confirmed by experts and evaluated with proper triangulation method and its reliability was obtained by an internal agreement method of 0.83. For data analysis, content analysis method was used in MAXQDA12 software. Finding : The findings showed that the factors affecting educational policy-making had 9 dimensions, 39 components and 209 indicators, including educational stakeholders, psychological factors, economic factors, technological factors, legal factors, social factors, cultural factors, belief and ideal factors, and political factors. Also, the third millennium education has 6 dimensions, 33 components and 74 indicators, including the characteristics of philosophy and training goals, characteristics of curriculum, educational system characteristics, environmental characteristics and educational space, characteristics of teachers and characteristics of principals and policymakers. In general, for factors affecting educational policy-making based on the third millennium was identified with 15 dimensions, 72 components and 283 indicators. Conclusion : Considering the factors affecting educational policy-making based on the third millennium characteristics, the dimensions and components identified in the present era can be promoted.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to design a quantum leadership model in Iranian public universities Methodology: The research method was applied in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of data collection method. The statistical population of the research in the qualitative section included university experts who were selected as the sample size using the snowball sampling method and the principle of saturation of 10 people. In the quantitative section, the statistical population was the available scientific research articles on the subject, from which 32 articles were selected. In this study, library method, observation, in-depth interview and semi-in-depth interview were used to collect data. In a small part, content analysis was used. The interview with the experts indicated that the interview was valid, and in order to calculate the reliability, the reliability method was used between the two coders, and the results indicated that the interview was stable and valid. For the analysis of research data in the qualitative section, point analysis of content and Delphi method, and in the quantitative section, interpretive-structural modeling was used. Findings: The results of the study showed that the components of quantum leadership included quantum view, quantum thinking, quantum sense, quantum cognition, quantum operation, quantum trust and biocenology. On the other hand, the results showed that there is a significant difference between the existing leadership and the desired leadership. Conclusion: Attention to quantum thinking and Its point of view is necessary to achieve quantum leadership, therefore the four main factors can be explained in explaining why quantum leadership includes: uncertainty phenomena, environmental complexities, extensive and reciprocal interactions and continuous and rapid changes that Taken from the characteristics of the quantum paradigm, it is a phenomenon and necessitates the use of a certain style of leadership as quantum leadership in the organization.
