This study aimed to identify effective factors to the development of blended learning from the perspective of faculty members of PNU. For this purpose, after the study of contemporary research findings, effective factors to the development of blended learning were divided in five groups of structural, planning, information systems, nature and workplace and support factors for each of these components were determined. In order to assess the effective factors to the development of blended learning from the perspective of faculty members, a researcher-made questionnaire was designed. The questionnaire was with 40 questions using a Likert scale. Its validity was confirmed through content validity and its reliability through Cornbrash's alpha (α=91%). After determining the sample size using Morgan table by simple random sampling, questionnaires were distributed to faculty members. The research findings were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. To analyze the data, SPSS and LISREL softwares were employed. Results indicate that among the identified factors, the most important and influential factors to the development of blended learning from the perspective of administrators was related to structural factors.

The present study aims at investigating the efficacy of blended learning in distance education on educational performance of 7th secondary school students in the lesson of art in Gonabad city in the educational year of 2016-2017. The research method is quasi experimental with post-test, pre-test and control group. The statistical population consists of all female students in the 7th grad secondary school in Gonabad city who were studying in the educational year of 2016-2017. The research sample was 58 participants selected through available sampling and assigned in two experimental and control groups who were homogeneous based on educational achievement. The experimental group was given instruction in blended learning system and the control group was under traditional teaching style. The pre-test of educational performance of the lesson of art was performed on both experimental and control groups and after 12 instruction sessions in blended learning style to experimental group, the post-test of educational performance in art was administered among both groups. The results were analyzed using Covariance Analysis in SPSS software. The findings indicate that the educational performance of experimental group in Iranian painting, designing applicable objects based on fruit and flower patterns, new ideas and new pattern of objects, and educational performance in regular design textures have been enhanced and there was a significant difference between educational performance of experimental and control groups in art lessons with a higher achievement of experimental group.

The importance of mathematics is common knowledge, and teachers have always been concerned with teaching this subject correctly and efficiently. For this reason, teaching mathematics should be given special attention, and even the base and frameworks should be provided for online teaching of this subject. This study aims to introduce mathsframe.co.uk as a platform for online teaching of mathematics. The present study tried to turn the challenges facing online mathematics teaching into opportunities for better instruction. The method of research was descriptive and a case study (in-depth). The facilities and games of the website were divided into categories of Most popular free mathematics games, Tablet friendly games, Word problems, Using a calculator, Money, Sorting and classifying, National curriculum, Addition and subtraction, Fractions, decimals and percentages, Measuring and time, Partitioning, place value and rounding, Latest mathematics games, Multiplication and division, Ordering, comparing and reading numbers, Geometry, Statistics and ITPs. There are games and options in these categories which are suitable to teach and exercise subjects like money, reading and working with different types of charts, numbers divisible to a certain number and prime numbers, decimals, measuring angles, numbers axis, exercising and learning different math operations, multiplication table, comparing numbers, showing the number of shapes and categories, counting numbers, place value chart, measuring volume, ratio, possibility, fraction, the method of transferring numbers in technical addition and subtraction, symmetry, measuring mass and temperature, coordinates, clock, working with a ruler, volume and perimeter.
Many math instruction games and options complementary to teachers' teaching are free, and there is no need for signing up, entering information or paying a fee; but a basic knowledge of English is required for teaching or exercising elements of the categories.

یکی از مسائل مهم و اساسی در حوزه تعلیم و تربیت موضوع معرفت است. معرفت شناسی لازمه فلسفه تعلیم و تربیت است. مسائل معرفتی در قلب فرایند تربیت قرار دارند (بهشتی، 1377). در حال حاضر در نظام تعلیم و تربیت توجه به منبع کسب معرفت و تشخیص ملاک حقیقت از امور غیر حقیقی (خطا) بیش از گذشته احساس می شود. در واقع معرفت شناسی به ایجاد بستری فلسفی میپردازد که در قالب آن مشخص می شود چه انواعی از دانش امکان حصول دارد و اینکه چگونه میتوان مطمئن شد آنها برای ورود به زندگی انسانها و آشنایی با الگوهای اجتماعی،مناسب و درست هستند (رضایی، پاک سرشت،1387 و بلیکی، ترجمه حسنی و همکاران،1392)؛ از این رو معرفت شناسی به عنوان پایه هر گونه دانایی همواره با مفهوم یادگیری گره خورده و مورد توجه متخصصان نظام آموزش و پرورش در جهان است. آموزش و یادگیری از دور یکی از مهمترین جایگزین های آموزش حضوری و سنتی و از عوامل کلیدی توسعه در آموزش عالی محسوب می شود، چراکه به فراگیران اجازه می دهد در کمترین زمان و با صرف کمترین هزینه مهارت شناختی و کارکردی خود را ارتقا بخشیده و برای حضور در محیط اجتماعی و شغلی آماده شوند. در نسل سوم آموزش از راه دور به واسطه حضور رویکرد سازنده گرایی آموزش با هدف خلق فرصت هایی برای فراگیران به منظور ایجاد و بازسازی دانش از طریق بحث و بررسی محتوا یا برنامه های درسی مساله محور بسط و گسترش یافت (نجفی،1391). روش پژوهش حاضر توصیفی تحلیلی و ابزار جمع آوری اطلاعات، مطالعه اسناد بوده است. گردآوری اطلاعات اسنادی، شامل شناسایی، مطالعه، طبقه بندی اطلاعات، تجزیه و تحلیل آنها و جمع بندی اطلاعات درخصوص معرفت شناسی بوده و سپس دلالتهای تربیتی آن در نسل سوم آموزش از راه دور مورد توجه قرار گرفت. نتایج نشان داد از آنجا که نسل های چهارم و پنجم از نظر زیربنای اندیشه مرهون فلسفه حاکم بر نسل سوم هستند شناخت و واکاوی هر چه دقیقتر دلالتهای یادگیری سازنده گرایی و درک مولفه ها و ابعاد شناختی حاکم بر معرفت شناسی این نسل از اهمیت شایان توجهی برخوردار است.
