Today, due to the high speed of change, concepts such as educational planning and intelligence beliefs of people play a key role in the success of universities. In this regard, this study aimed to investigate the relationship of educational planning and intelligence beliefs with creativity among medical students. Methods: The research method was descriptive and correlation. The study population included all 805 students of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Islamic Azad University, Sari Branch in 2016-2017 academic years. 260 students were selected based on Cochran formula by classified sampling based on field of study. Researcher made questionnaire of educational planning and standard questionnaires of intelligence Beliefs (Dupeyrat & Marian, 2005) and creativity (Torrance, 1979) that their validity and reliability have been confirmed, were used. Data were analyzed using by K-S, Regression and Pearson test. Results: Findings indicate a positive and significant relationship between educational planning and creativity (0.389) and intelligence beliefs with creativity (0.519). Also, the relationship between the components of educational planning and intelligence beliefs with creativity was confirmed. Based on the results of the multivariate regression analysis, the value of R2 showed that about 36% of the changes in the student's score of creativity were explained by educational planning and intelligence beliefs. Intelligence beliefs (with β = 0.462) had the highest standardized regression coefficient effect on the creativity Conclusions: Results showed that the effect of educational planning and intelligence beliefs and their components on creativity was significant. Also, in order to enhance the creativity of students, we must focus on two important issues educational planning and intelligence beliefs.

However, different sources of stress might interfere with students’ academic adjustment. The current study aimed to explore the relationship between academic self-efficacy and academic resilience with academic adjustment and academic performance. Methods: The present study was descriptive with a correlational design. The participants were 220 medical students (143 female; 77 male) who were selected via stratified random sampling (based on gender) in Kashan University of Medical Science in 2017. The data collection instruments included and McIllroy & Bunting Academic Self-efficacy Questionnaire, Martin and Marsh Academic resilience Scale, and Academic adjustment subscale of SACQ. In addition, students’ Grade Point Average (GPA) and demographic information were sought. The data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and regression analysis in SPSS (version 22). Results: The results indicated that there is a statistically significant positive relationship between academic self-efficacy with academic adjustment (r = 0.55, P < 0.001), and academic performance(r = 0.29, P < 0.01). Moreover, there was a statistically significant positive relationship between academic resilience with academic adjustment (r = 0.47, P < 0.001), and academic performance (r = 0.25, P < 0.001). The results of regression analysis showed that academic self-efficacy (β = 0.42, t = 6.83, P > 0.001) and academic resilience (β = 0.26, t = 4.29, P > 0.001) can significantly explain 35% of the variance in academic adjustment. Also, academic self-efficacy (β = 0.22, t = 3.009, P = 0.003) and academic resilience (β = 0.15, t = 2.040, P = 0.043) could explain 10% of the variance in academic performance. Conclusions: Students’ academic adjustment and academic performance could be enhanced by planning useful programs for improving academic resilience and academic self-efficacy as well as by creating a facilitative environment.

Methods: Recent research is a descriptive and analytical study. In the qualitative level, Delphi method was used in the presence of some experts to identify the dimensions and competency components and making decisions to reach consensus. In the quantitative level, a researcher-made questionnaire including 71 questions was used to collect data. The t-test and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were applied to check the data. Results: In the present study, the six main dimensions of the instructors ’competencies including dimensions of social, ethical, organizational, individual, technical, pedagogical and evaluation and also nineteen sub-components are investigated. Based on the findings, seventeen competency components had an average higher than the expected mean. According to achieved data, the highest factor loading is related to the pedagogical dimension and the lowest factor loading is the individual dimension. Conclusions: Recognized competencies in this study can be useful to design the career development plans and determination of the training needs for education courses with high quality.

But the point to consider is that, despite the progress of universities in developing their quantitative specifications, most of them have been developed using traditional style and cannot be able to need the needs of today's society. This problem has now become more complicated due to the massive changes in modern technology. In order to reform this disproportionate growth, we need a clear perspective on the characteristics and definitions of successful universities in the future to organize the development of universities in this country. This article attempts to present the possible scenarios for universities in the coming decades. According to these scenarios, the universities of the country can design their own policies and plan to move towards each of the major scenarios.

Bigdeli ibigdeli@um.ac.ir Mahmood Najafi najiafy2001ir@yahoo.com Mohammad Ali Mohammadifar aliMohammadifar@semnan.ac.ir Introduction: Flourishing refers to having a good life experience and is a combination of good feeling and effective performance. Positive psychologists believe that education of flourishing should be started in school years and from teachers of a community. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the flourishing of teachers in Tehran and it’s affecting demographic variables. Methods: In this descriptive study, 412 high school teachers from Tehran were selected via multi-stage cluster random sampling method. Instrument was Human Psychological Flourishing Scale (Hojabiran, Rezaei, Bigdeli, Najafi & Mohammadifar, 2017) which measures 3 components including sense of satisfaction/happiness, individual competency and social engagement. The results were analyzed by descriptive statistics, multivariate and univariate analysis of variance. Results: Descriptive results showed that 4.6% of the teachers were languishing, 41.8% were moderately flourishing and 53.6% were flourishing. The status of teachers in the individual competency component is relatively desirable but it needs more attention in terms of satisfaction/happiness component. A comparison of flourishing based on demographic variables showed that married teachers achieved higher scores in all three components of flourishing. Official teachers also achieved higher levels of social engagement than unofficial teachers. There was no significant difference in the rate of flourishing based on other variables (gender, grade, major, parental education, job experience and ethnicity). Conclusions: According to the results, it is suggested to develop an interventional to promote teachers' flourishing and to provide in their on the job training. Also arrangements to be considered to increase job support for unofficial teachers and provide counseling services to single teachers.

Results: The majority of students (96.1%) reported moderate and high levels of stress. Age of students had a significant positive correlation with stress level (P = 0.037). The most and least stressful sources, respectively, relate to areas of unpleasant feelings and interpersonal communication. Most stressors were related to "distressing sick patients", "cleaning the patient after stool deification", " instructor note in the presence of doctors and personnel" and "communicating with the instructor" respectively. The scores of stress-related sources had a significant negative correlation with the clinical work experience (P = 0.014) and the age of instructors (P = 0.029). Conclusions: High levels of stress can reduce the students learning and quality of clinical education.
