Abstract
The present study used a quasi-experimental design in an attempt to evaluate the possibility of using concept mapping as a tool for teaching English speaking skills. In addition, the effect of gender on students' performance in using concept mapping in class was investigated. The participants in this study were 30 male students and 30 female students at the intermediate and advanced levels of English, who were selected from among 119 students who took the preliminary English test by Cambridge to determine students’ level of proficiency as a pre-test. Conceptual mapping was applied to the experimental group in the pre-speaking stage with the aim of organizing the participants' concepts and lines of thought, while in the control group, all teaching stages were done in the traditional method. The analysis of the obtained data showed that conceptual mapping can be used in teaching speaking skills as an effective method. Also, the analysis of the data showed that there is no significant difference between the groups of boys and girls in the construction and use of conceptual maps.

Abstract
پیشرفت فنآوری مانند هوش مصنوعی فرصتی را برای کمک به معلمان و دانش آموزان در حل و بهبود عملکرد تدریس و یادگیریفراهم می کند. از اینرو، هدف پژوهش کارکرد هوش مصنوعی در کیفیت بخشی تدریس در آموزش ریاضی به دانش آموزان است. پژوهش حاضر بر اساس نوع هدف بنیادی و از نظر رویکرد پژوهشی از نوع سنتز پژوهی انجام شده است. جامعه آماری اسناد و مدارک است که با جستجو در منابع کتابخانه ها و مقالات در در پایگاه های معتبر فارسی و لاتین 110منبع (تمامی اسناد از سال 2013 تا 13 ژوئن 2024) حاصل شد. در بررسی نهایی مرتبط ترین منابع شامل 71 مقاله بود که مورد بررسی و استخراج مطالب در راستای تحقق هدف مطالعه حاضر قرار گرفت. جهت تجزیه وتحلیل داده ها، از روش تحلیل مضمون استفاده شد. یافته ها با دو مولفهی اصلی شامل: غنی سازی محیط یادگیری (با زیرمؤلفه های اعتلای دانش فردی، شخصی سازی یادگیری، حمایت های سازنده و انگیزشی، ایجاد شبکه های ارتباطی، تحلیل و ارزیابی عملکرد)؛ توانمندسازی حرف های معلم (با زیرمولفه های کمک به شناسایی اختلالات یادگیری، کمک به معلم در فرایند آموزشی، غنی سازی ابزارهای آموزشی) حاصل شد. در انتها می توان گفت فنآوری هوش مصنوعی نحوه یادگیری و درک موضوعات پیچیده ریاضیات را برای فراگیران متحول کرده است.

Abstract
The problems in identifying effective strategies to improve the mental health and emotional well-being of hearing-impaired children and the emotional and psychological problems that most of these children face in their daily lives make clear the need for research and increased attention to this area. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of play therapy based on Axline's approach on the mental health and emotional well-being of primary hearing impaired children based on the ABC method. The current research was a semi-experimental design of single case type with baseline, intervention and follow-up design. Using available sampling method, 3 hearing impaired primary school children were selected from Pajhwok Family and Hearing Impaired Child Rehabilitation Center in Tehran. The measurement tools in this research were the children's mental health questionnaire by Jelink et al., the mental well-being questionnaire by Diener et al., and the record sheet. First, the questionnaires were administered 3 times with an interval of 3 days as a baseline. It was found that there is a relative stability in the grades. Then the intervention was implemented in 8 sessions. After each session, the participants were evaluated once and 2 weeks later, the same questionnaire was administered 3 times with a time interval of 2 days as a follow-up phase. The data were analyzed using Excel and SPSS 26 software and by intra-site and inter-site analysis. The results indicated that mental health and emotional well-being increased in each of the subjects after the intervention. 8 intervention sessions have been held, after which the frequency of variables was recorded in the session. According to the graphs, the increasing trend of the variables can be seen, and in the final part of the graph, 3 follow-up sessions, which are considered two weeks after the last intervention, still show the approximate stability trend of the variables.

Abstract
Considering the importance of happiness in people's lives and understanding the factors affecting the feeling of happiness, this study aimed to test a model explaining happiness based on feelings of inferiority and loneliness. The study design was non-experimental in which the correlation research method and the advanced statistical method of structural equation modeling were used. A total of 210 students (134 females, 76 males) were selected from Payam Noor University, Taibad, using available sampling in the second semester of 2021-2022. In addition to the demographic questionnaire, the research participants completed the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (Hills & Argyle, 2002), the Loneliness Scale (Russell, 1996) and the Inferiority Feeling Scale (Yao, et al., 1998). Correlational analysis indicated that there was a negative and significant relationship between loneliness and happiness, a positive and significant relationship between loneliness and feeling of inferiority, and a negative and significant relationship between loneliness and happiness. The results of structural equation modeling indicated that loneliness completely mediates the relationship between inferiority feelings and happiness. The findings suggested that the feeling of inferiority decreased college students’ happiness only by increasing their feeling of loneliness. Since loneliness affects happiness only through loneliness, considering the role of happiness in the health and academic success of students, developing and implementing preventive interventions for increasing happiness and reducing loneliness in students at the university level recommended.
