Abstract
This study aims to examine the situation of research help seeking among graduate students (students of master and Ph.D. candidates) at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. The sample size was 425, selected by Quota sampling and based on educational level, gender and faculty. The 58 items questionnaire prepared and analyzed by the researchers was used to measure research help seeking. The results showed that there is a significant difference in score average of help seeking among different faculties. Average female students in the component of adaptive help seeking and average male students in component of avoidance of help seeking were significantly higher. Average graduate students in dimension of need for research help seeking and avoidance of help seeking and average Ph.D. students’ in component of adaptive help seeking were higher. Ultimately, since weakness in research skills is among the different factors in both the conduction and application of research findings and it would probably invalidate the findings, professional commitment would dictate that in case the need arises, the researcher would use the help-seeking strategy.

Abstract
With the increasing demand for study in higher education and the limited capacity of student admissions in universities, especially in popular fields, student assessment and admission has become one of the important goals of the educational system. In this regard, the present study was conducted with the aim of pathology of the current status of the student assessment and admission model and providing solutions to improve the student assessment and admission model in the country. The present study is an applied research in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of methodology. The participants of the research were experts and scientific and executive experts in the field of entrance exam, who were selected by purposive sampling method with the snowball approach. The results of the present study indicate the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the current model of student assessment and admission. Challenges related to the current model of assessment and admission of students, are considerable in three categories: injuries caused by the atmosphere of the educational system in the period before the entrance exam, challenges caused by the atmosphere of the national exam and the conditions governing the entrance exam of candidates, and injuries related to the period after the national exam. Admission by the university, optimization of admission based on academic records, strategies related to improving the performance and efficiency of the educational system and academic guidance were among the complementary and alternative strategies that were identified in the present study. From the experts' point of view, the successful implementation of the alternative model requires in-depth study, feasibility study, careful and meticulous evaluation and evaluation in various educational and non-educational dimensions. Therefore, according to the results of the present study, strategies such as reducing the emphasis on memorization and paying more attention to other skills needed by today's society, talents, interests and abilities of students, intelligent and process-oriented academic guidance and choosing disciplines appropriate to the talents, interests, and the ability of students, a change from the normative approach to the criterion method and the gradual elimination of the entrance exam, is suggested.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify the factors affecting the prolongation in the years of graduate students’ study and the consequences of this educational phenomenon.
Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted with the aim of identifying the factors affecting the increase in the academic years of postgraduate students and the consequences of this educational phenomenon. In this research, the qualitative method of theme analysis has been used. The statistical population of the study included postgraduate students with additional years of study, their supervisors, department heads and educational assistants of the faculties, from which 33 people were selected using purposive sampling method. In order to collect research data, three tools of interviewing, reviewing documents and reviewing the text of students' applications have been used. In the document review section, the files of the applicants for obtaining years in the Special Cases Commission from 12/15/94 to 3/27/96 were examined in a total number of 3224 cases. In order to analyze the data, after familiarizing with the data, primary codes were created and by searching and recognizing the themes, the network of themes was drawn and analyzed and then its report was compiled and presented in the form of a comprehensive classification. The validity and reliability of the data were checked by the members through the control method. The findings of the interviews identified two categories of extra-systemic and intra-systemic factors, which include a total of 28 causes.
Discussion and Conclusion: Extra-systemic factors in three categories of socio-economic, individual-family factors and extracurricular concerns and intra-systemic factors in four categories of unprofessional behavior of professors, dissertation writing problems, lack of training courses and scientific weakness Students and the weakness of the educational process and system were divided. Also, in reviewing the documents, 18 reasons were identified as the factor of prolonging the years, the most important of which were the executive problems of dissertations and dissertations, their illness and relatives, and the length of the approval process. 19 solutions were identified to improve this phenomenon, which are also presented in three categories: improving the quality of courses and aligning with the dissertation / dissertation, improving the educational and scientific process, and facilitating the dissertation / dissertation process. What is concluded is that the extension of the years of students with disabilities is due to several factors, some of which are at the disposal of the university and some of which are outside the university system and are affected by economic and social issues. From a systemic point of view, by solving these challenges, it is possible to reduce the number of academic years and improve the quality.
