Objective: The present survey aims to study the effect of teaching the meta-cognitive program of Panoura and Philippou on the improvement of problem- solving performance, the students’ meta- cognitive knowledge and skill of students with a disability of math learning. Method: Methodology has been empirical. The statistical population of this survey was all the students of the4th grade of elementary schools in Najaf Abad in 2010-2011who had a disability of math learning. To do this survey, 20 students with a disability of math learning were selected and assigned to an experimental and a control group (n1=10 and n2=10). The tools used included a meta-cognition questionnaire of Panoura and Philippou, the checklist of math disorder diagnosis of Tabrizi, Raven intelligence scale and a math academic performance test. Intervention related to teaching the meta-cognition program of Panoura and Philippou was applied on the experimental group. The data obtained have been analyzed by using a statistical method of co-variance. Results: The results of co- variance analysis showed that there is a significant difference (P 0.01) between the average grades in pre-test and post-test. Conclusion and recommendations: Altogether, the findings of this survey indicate that teaching the meta-cognition program of Panoura and Philippou is effective on problem- solving performance and the metacognition knowledge and skill of students with a disability of learning. It is suggested that the use of teaching Panoura& Philippou's meta -cognitive program can be considered as a useful method for program- solving problems in student's with math learning disability.

Objective: The aim of the current research was to investigate the effectiveness of early interventions based on child-oriented games on the rate of hyperactivity / impulsivity of preschool children with attention deficit - hyperactivity / Impulsivity disorder. Method: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest-post-test design. Statistical population included all the preschool boys with ADHD disorder in city of Isfahan of the academic year 1389-1390. 30 children with ADHD symptoms were selected via targeted sampling method and were randomly assigned to wither experimental or control groups (15 each). The research tool was the Connor’s parents questionnaire as well as clinical interviews. Interventions were applied in the experimental group. Obtained data was analyzed by analysis of covariance. Results: The results showed that the early interventions based on child-oriented games were effective on the rate of hyperactivity / impulsivity of preschool children with attention deficit - hyperactivity / impulsivity disorder. Conclusion and Recommendations: By early identification and intervention with child–oriented play the symptoms of attention deficit / hyperactivity – Impulsivity disorder can be reduced and so prevention can be expected.
