The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of digital leadership in intelligent decision making with the mediation of team reception. The method was descriptive and of the type of correlational studies. The research population of primary school principals in Kermanshah province in 2022 was 1902 people, from this population, based on the Cochran formula, a sample of 320 people was selected using stratified random sampling according to the population of the research classes such as the type of region (privileged, semi-privileged and deprived), city/district (24 cases) and gender ( male and female) was selected. Collecting data from questionnaires; Digital leadership and intelligent decision-making developed by the researcher were used in addition to team reception (Sultani, 2007). Data analysis was done using Pearson's correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling. The findings showed that digital leadership had a direct and significant effect on team reception and intelligent decision-making in elementary school principals. Also, team reception had a direct and significant effect on intelligent decision-making in elementary school principals (p≤0.01). In addition, digital leadership through team reception had an indirect and significant effect on intelligent decision-making in elementary school principals (p≤0.01). It seems that team reception among elementary school principals has a mediating role in the relationship between digital leadership and intelligent decision making.

The current research was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of flipped instruction method on disposition toward critical thinking (innovativeness, cognitive maturity and mental engagement) of students. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the research was made up of all the female students of the ninth grade of the first period of high school in the academic year of 2020-2021. To select the sample, first, using the available sampling method, two schools were selected from among the first secondary schools. Then, a 9th grade class was selected from each school and using random sampling method, the students of one of the classes were determined as the experimental group and the students of the other class as the control group. The students of the experimental group were taught using the flipped instruction method. Ricketts' (2003) critical thinking disposition questionnaire was used to collect data. The data were analyzed using the statistical method of analysis of covariance. The findings showed that the flipped instruction method was effective on disposition toward critical thinking (innovativeness, cognitive maturity and mental engagement) of students and increased the disposition toward critical thinking (innovativeness, cognitive maturity and mental engagement) of students in experimental group. Therefore, the research hypothesis was confirmed (p<0.01). According to the results of this research, it can be concluded that the use of the flipped instruction method by teachers can be effective in increasing the disposition toward critical thinking (innovativeness, cognitive maturity and mental engagement) of students, and as a result, it can lead to better performance of students. In fact, the reverse education method is an effective way of teaching and learning in the world, which should become part of the comprehensive lifelong learning system in schools.

Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics including confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling with partial least squares approach were used for data analysis. The research findings showed that there is no significant relationship between job burnout and organizational commitment at the 0.05 level, but with the mediation of organizational silence, this relationship is negative and significant. Also, organizational silence has a negative and significant relationship with organizational commitment at the 99% confidence level, and job burnout has a positive and significant relationship with organizational silence at the 99% confidence level. In general, it is concluded that the conceptual model of the effectiveness of organizational commitment on job burnout with the mediating role of organizational silence does not fit with the empirical model.

In order to analyze the data, Pearson correlation and stepwise regression tests were used. The correlation results showed that all the correlation coefficients are significant (p<0.01). Based on the obtained results, the correlation between differentiation and dependence on social networks is significant (p<0.01). The correlation between conformity orientation with dependence on positive social networks is significant and the correlation between dialogue orientation with dependence on negative social networks is significant. According to the obtained results, the dependence on social networks can be explained by using predictive variables of differentiation and communication patterns. The results of this study can help educational specialists in examining adolescent issues.
Education plays a critical role in transferring knowledge, and research plays a key role in producing and expanding knowledge. As one of the most important influences on these functions, the curriculum plays a significant role. The purpose of this study is to explain the goals and strategies of connected curriculum in higher education as a new concept. A qualitative and data-driven approach was used in this paper.
