Abstract Objective: The present study aims to determine the relationship between job competencies, employability, and career path adaptability with the career mission of female teachers in Sar-e-Pol-e-Zahab, emphasizing the mediating role of meaningful work and career commitment. Method: This study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in nature. The statistical population includes all female teachers working in schools in Sar-e-Pol-e-Zahab in the academic year 1403-1404. The sampling method was used to select 220 people based on the Cochran formula. The data collection tools included the Employability Development Profile of Pool et al. (2014), the Career Path Adaptability Scale of Savikas et al. (2012), the Career Path Competency Scale of Ackermans et al. (2013), the Work Meaningfulness Questionnaire of Arnaud-Nicolas et al. (2016), the Job Commitment Questionnaire of Blau (2009), and the Job Mission Questionnaire of Dobra and Tosikhars (2011). Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the relationships between variables, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine the causal relationships and the role of mediating variables. Findings: The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between job competencies, employability, and career path adaptability with the career mission of female teachers. The standard regression coefficient for job competencies is 0.672, for employability 0.590, and for career path adaptability 0.696. Also, work meaningfulness and job commitment have a significant mediating role. The Sobel coefficient for work meaningfulness in these relationships was 10.07, 6.89, and 10.07, respectively. The goodness-of-fit indices of the model indicated the optimal fit of the structural model. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that improving job competencies, employability, and career path adaptability, along with enhancing work meaningfulness and career commitment, has a positive effect on strengthening the sense of career mission in female teachers. These results can help educational policymakers in providing better conditions for female teachers.

   purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of creative drama on enhancing prosocial behavior, empathy, and self-regulation in preschool children.   Metod: The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. The statistical population included all preschool students enrolled in the 2024-2025 academic year. The sample consisted of 40 conveniently selected children (20 girls and 20 boys), randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group (20 children each). Both groups were pretested using three instruments: the Prosocial Scale from Goodman’s Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (1997), the Parent-Reported Empathy Quotient (EQ) by Auyeung et al. (2009), and the Self-Restraint Scale by Babadi & Meshkani (2010). The experimental group then participated in a one-month creative drama program (nine one-hour sessions) focused on enhancing prosocial behavior, empathy, and self-regulation, while the control group received no intervention. After the program, both groups were reassessed. Four weeks after the sessions, a follow-up test was administered to parents. The collected data on prosocial behavior, empathy, and self-regulation were analyzed using    software and ANCOVA.   Results: The ANCOVA results revealed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. Children in the experimental group showed higher scores in prosocial behavior, empathy, and self-regulation after the creative drama intervention compared to the control group. Additionally, the data indicated that girls in both groups scored higher on average than boys, with female participants demonstrating greater improvement. The follow-up test confirmed the lasting effects of the intervention in the experimental group.   Conclusion: The findings suggest that creative drama positively influences prosocial behavior, empathy, and self-regulation in preschool children, enhancing their performance in these areas. In other words, creative drama proves to be an effective, engaging, and enjoyable educational tool for fostering these skills in children. Thus, it is recommended that creative drama be utilized in educational, clinical, and therapeutic settings as an indirect yet fun and interactive teaching technique to address challenges related to prosocial behavior, empathy, and self-regulation.   Keywords: Creative drama, prosocial behavior, empathy, self-regulation, preschool children

   Abstract: The purpose of the research: The purpose of the present study is to evaluate Persian academic textbooks in the field of Knowledge and Information Science Studies based on the desirable criteria for compiling such books. Research Methodology: The research was conducted using a library method and content analysis. The instrument for this research is a checklist for evaluating academic textbooks, which was adopted from a related study selected from a large number of conducted studies. This checklist includes formal, editorial, and content criteria, each containing several components, against which the research population was examined. The population under study in this research includes all available and accessible books published by SAMT Publications, comprising 53 academic textbooks in the field of Knowledge and Information Science, which were examined and evaluated using the selected checklist. Research Findings: The analysis of academic textbooks in the field of Knowledge and Information Science Studies, published by SAMT, revealed that, overall, the three criteria—physical appearance, writing quality, and content—were observed to a certain extent in these works. However, a closer examination of the internal components of these criteria highlights specific aspects that require greater attention and revision. For instance, within the physical appearance criteria, the highest score was associated with the alignment of the book’s format with its content volume. This suggests that publishers have primarily focused on technical and standardization aspects of book production, likely due to their direct impact on printing and production processes. Conversely, components such as the alignment of cover design with the book’s subject received lower scores, indicating that aesthetic and visual considerations have yet to achieve a consistent and professional presence in these textbooks. Regarding writing quality, most textbooks demonstrated strong performance in adhering to linguistic rules and academic writing principles, which may reflect the authors’ familiarity with scholarly writing conventions or the contribution of professional editors. Nevertheless, in areas related to originality and creativity of style, the performance was weaker, with most texts presenting a uniform tone and structure, lacking significant effort toward developing a distinctive voice or innovative presentation of content. In terms of content quality, the highest score corresponded to the component assessing publisher evaluation and publication date relative to the subject area. This finding underscores SAMT’s diligence and expertise in ensuring alignment between textbook content and current educational needs. In contrast, components such as presenting new questions or introducing fresh perspectives received the lowest scores, reflecting a tendency of most textbooks to follow traditional educational frameworks, with limited emphasis on scientific innovation or fostering critical thinking in readers. Conclusion: The results of this study show that the academic textbooks in the field of Knowledge and Information Science science published by SAMT are, overall, of desirable quality. Adherence to acceptable formal and editorial standards, along with a cohesive content structure, has made these books reliable resources in higher education. However, a closer examination of the components suggests that some elements still require serious attention and improvement, particularly in areas such as visual design, innovation in content presentation, and creating a more intellectually challenging environment for readers. These aspects not only make educational resources more engaging but also enhance the learning experience and increase student engagement with the content.

   The aim of this study was to evaluate the economic value of university library services and understand the return on investment in the central library of Razi University.    The present research method is a descriptive-survey type that was conducted using the Return on Investment (ROI) method. The statistical population of this study is all male and female students at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels of Razi University who were studying in 1402-1403. To obtain the sample size, the Cochran formula was used, which resulted in a sample size of 371 people. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire, and descriptive statistics (mean, frequency, frequency percentage) and inferential statistics (logistic regression) were used to examine the research questions.    The research findings showed that more than 70 percent of students are willing to pay an annual amount to receive library services, and the average willingness of students to pay annually is 35 thousand Tomans. The highest percentage of students' willingness to pay is related to interlibrary loan services, database services, and loan services, respectively. Also, regarding demographic factors, the findings indicate that all demographic variables have a positive effect on individuals' willingness to pay, except for the income variable, people who stated that they had no income were not willing to pay. Also, the findings regarding the rate of return on investment indicate that in fact, the central library had a negative rate of return on investment considering the expenses it incurred.    Considering the willingness to pay stated by most of the patrons, the central library of Razi University can charge users for more services. Also, the results indicate that the services that the central library provides to students have to some extent failed to meet their needs and demands in order to meet their information needs, and the library has not gained any benefit from this.    Keywords: Economic valuation, rate of return on investment (ROI), central library, Razi University.

   The aim of the present study was to study the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy along with self-compassion on flexibility and disease acceptance of people with physical disabilities.

   Aim: The general purpose of the current research is to investigate information-seeking behavior, creative thinking and critical thinking according to gender, different academic groups, levels and age of students, and also to determine the relationship between these two variables with information-seeking behavior.    Metodology: The current research is applied and conducted by survey method. The statistical population includes all students in the Faculty of Social Sciences of Razi University who are studying in the second semester of the academic year 1400-01. To collect the research data, Torrance's standard creative thinking questionnaire, Ricketts' critical thinking questionnaire, and also a questionnaire taken from a research entitled: "Information seeking behavior by researchers and faculty members" were used, which is valid. It was approved by the professors of information science and epistemology. To measure reliability, it was ensured by using the latest version of    software (version 26) and by using Cronbach's alpha method. In the end, the data of this research was measured and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.    Findings: The highest average of information-seeking behavior of students is in the field of psychology and the lowest average is related to the field of social sciences. The average score of the respondents in creative thinking is 84.52, which is in the above average level of creativity. The score of 72/101 in this research for critical thinking shows that the level of critical thinking in the mentioned society is very high. The results of Pearson's correlation test regarding the relationship between creative thinking and information-seeking behavior of students showed the lack of significant relationship between these two variables. Nevertheless, there is a very weak correlation between the two components of flexibility with the amount of Internet use, and the expansion component with the amount of use of various information sources. Also, the results of the Pearson correlation test indicate that there is no significant relationship between the two variables of critical thinking and information-seeking behavior, but there is a weak correlation between the two components of perfection with communication channels, and an average correlation between the components There is a commitment to barriers to access and use of information. In terms of creative thinking and critical thinking, no significant difference was observed in gender, education, levels and age of students, but there was a significant difference between different groups. In terms of creative thinking and critical thinking, no significant difference was observed in gender, education, levels and age of students, but there was a significant difference between different groups.    Conclusion: The level of creative and critical thinking is desirable in contrast to the information-seeking behavior of students of the Faculty of Social Sciences. Despite the importance of the library in meeting the need for information, its use is not a priority for students. Problems such as: not using scientific and specialized search engines, not being familiar with the features of search engines and Boolean operators, insufficient mastery of the English language are evident among students.

Purpose:   Different people may have different perceptions of the same images, the digital images guide, which is a method of teaching in the field of visual literacy, has been created to read images with deep meanings. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of digital image guide on improving intercultural communication competence in Iranian intermediate level EFL Learners.    Method: The method of the present study is a mixed of quantitative and qualitative stages, the first stage was done by quasi-experimental method and using a pre-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the present study consists of incoming students in the field of information science and science at Razi University of Kermanshah in 1399, from which 22 (experimental group 11 and control 11) were selected by convenience sampling. This method consists of two groups of subjects who were given version one of both Oxford Test version 1 groups. Then, both groups were measured twice. In this design, pre-test and post-test are visual literacy and intercultural communication competence questionnaire. After performing a pre-test for both groups (experimental and control), the researcher taught intercultural communication competence to the experimental group through 9 sessions 30-minute through images. The images used in this study were selected from Getty Images and Flickr sites and then post-test was performed for both groups. The instruments of this study were Oxford Test version 1 with 82% reliability and intercultural communication knowledge questionnaire and visual literacy questionnaire with 87% reliability. Their validity was also confirmed by 5 faculty members of Razi University and Shahid Beheshti University. In order to analyze the data, descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and analytical statistics (Shapiro-Wilk Test, Leven’s Test, analysis of covariance and Pearson correlation coefficient) were used using    software version 22. In the second stage, semi-structured interviews were used to collect data, and the qualitative method presented by Broun and Clarke (2006) was used to analyze the collected data.       Finding: Based on the findings, the mean scores in the post-test of the experimental group have increased. The results of analysis of covariance showed that using the digital images guide, the level of intercultural communication competence and visual literacy increased and the results of Pearson correlation coefficient showed that there is a strong and significant positive relationship between visual literacy and intercultural communication competence. Findings in the qualitative section also showed that learners have a positive opinion about the digital images guide and believe that this method has increased their level of visual literacy and intercultural communication competence and can better recognize the cultural features reflected in the images.      Conclusion: The results of this study showed that using digital images guide can increase the level of visual literacy and intercultural communication competence, also there is a strong positive relationship between visual literacy and intercultural communication competence, so that by increasing the level of visual literacy can it also increased the level of intercultural communication competence. As a result, efforts should be made to change the education system, which is based on traditional methods, and to teach students visual literacy and intercultural communication competence so that they can understand the concepts and increase their learning.   

  Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between information literacy and the ability to spot fake news among Kermanshah public library users.  Method: The research method is descriptive correlational and the type of applied target.
