The aim of this study was to identify the components and framework of the educational model for the use of technology in philosophy program for children for gifted students and its internal validation. The research method was heuristic. In order to obtain the educational design model, inductive content analysis was used in the qualitative part of the research, and in the quantitative part, survey method was used to validate the model internally through a questionnaire by experts. The sample population of the study in the qualitative part were related specialists in the fields of educational technology, special education and philosophy of education, written and electronic documents and resources, and in the quantitative part were the specialists of the mentioned fields. The samples were purposefully selected in both groups, and in the qualitative part 31 specialists and experts were selected for the interview and in the quantitative part 36 specialists from different universities and institutes of the country. Data were collected in the qualitative part using semi-structured interviews and content analysis of documents and in the quantitative part using a questionnaire made by the researcher. After conducting content analysis, 7 main categories were obtained. Also, 39 sub-components were extracted for the main categories. After extracting the codes, the components and sub-components were presented in the form of a model. The results of internal validation based on the opinion of experts have shown that the presented educational model has a good internal validity and has the necessary effectiveness to educate talented students.

The prime objective of the current study was to comparative the impact of Transcranial Direct Current Stmulation (tDCS) on the Cognitive flexibility of hyperactive student-athletes. In this study, amongst the79 children diagnosed with ADHD, 30 students were randomly selected and divided into two groups of 15 people, control and experimental, based on age, sex and pre-test results performed by the wisconsin card sorting test (WCST) . All subjects in the two groups received two different types of single-position and dummy anode stimulation on the area (F3) with cathode excitation in the area (SO) with a current of 1 mA for 15 minutes for ten sessions (p≤0.05) and after ten sessions, each group was re-examined. After one month, a follow-up test was performed according to the post-test with using the wisconsin card sorting test (WCST) and multivariate analysis of covariance was used to test statistical hypotheses. (p≤0.05). The results obtained by multivariate analysis of covariance revealed that applying single-session anodal tDCS influenced Cognitive flexibility of hyperactive student-athletes, and it led to a significant difference between the experimental and sham groups. The findings of the study indicated that the protocol of applying single-session anodal tDCS has the ability to improve the cognitive flexibility of hyperactive student-athletes.

The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of interaction behavioral analysis on psychological distress and life expectancy of mothers with autistic children; The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test design, post-test with control and experimental groups. The statistical population of this study was all mothers with children with autism living in Isfahan in 2020, from which 30 people were selected by purposive sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups; First, Kessler (2002) and Snyder (1991) psychological distress questionnaires were administered to both experimental and control groups. Then, the experimental group underwent 10 sessions of group therapy based on interaction analysis for each session of 60 minutes. The experiment was performed again on the experimental and control groups. Due to the prevalence of coronavirus, training was done virtually.After applying the independent variable in 10 sessions of 60 minutes on the experimental group, Both groups were re-evaluated with the same questionnaires. Findings were analyzed using SPSS software and analysis of covariance. The results showed that the analysis of interaction behavior was effective on the life expectancy of mothers with autistic children (p <0.05); But it had no effect on psychological disturbance (P> 0.05). According to the results of the present study, it is suggested to use the reciprocal relationship analysis method as a supportive and effective tool to increase the life expectancy of mothers with children with autism.

This study aimed to investigate the lived experience of parents of students with specific learning disabilities (SLD), during the Corona pandemic. The research method was phenomenological, of lived experience type. For this purpose, among the parents of students with specific learning disabilities in the academic year 2019-2020, whose children were under house quarantine due to the Corona pandemic and school closures, the parents of 20 students were purposefully selected and participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data, and the data were categorized and analyzed by Colaizzi’s method. The results showed that the lived experiences of parents of students with specific learning disabilities during the Corona pandemic included six main categories: (1) Child psychological problems, (2) Child behavioral problems, (3) Child cognitive problems, (4) Child educational problems, (5) Parenting problems, and (6) Child improper skills. It can be concluded that the poor skills of the parents of students with specific learning disabilities in the mentioned areas can increase the problems of these students and their parents during the home quarantine. Therefore, appropriate training courses in these areas need to be provided for parents of students with specific learning disabilities.

Learning disorder is affected by many communication variables and focuses on sensory processing in children; therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the mediating role of sensory processing patterns in the relationship between parental parenting styles and Learning Disorder in children. The method of research was correlation based on modeling, a type of path analysis. The study population included all children with learning disorder 7 to 10 years old in Tehran, That using Klein's method (2010), 437 children were selected by available sampling method. And the children's mothers responded to, Colorado Willcutt et al. Learning Disorder Questionnaire (2011), Dunn's Sensory Profile (1999) and Baumrind's parental parenting styles (1973). And evaluation of the model was done using the path analysis method. The findings showed that sensory processing patterns have a mediating role in the relationship between parental parenting styles and Learning Disorder in children. In general, sensory processing patterns and parental parenting styles had predictive power (R2 = 0.70) of learning disorder variable. These findings show that learning disorder is strongly influenced by parental parenting styles. And sensory processing patterns have an indirect impact on learning disorder that can provide many practical implications for therapists to improve children's learning disorder.
