The present study aimed to identify the differences in the ability of Iranian students based on their response styles in the TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) Grade 8 science test for the years 2011, 2015, and 2019. This study examined various response styles, including extreme, moderate, and acquiescent styles, as well as their effects on item psychometric parameters and individual abilities. Data were analyzed using various Item Response Theory (IRT) models. The results showed that in the 2011 TIMSS Grade 8 science test, individuals with a typical response style exhibited the highest ability, followed by those with a moderate response style. The lowest ability was observed among individuals with an acquiescent response style. In the 2015 TIMSS Grade 8 science test, individuals with an extreme response style had the highest average ability among all groups, suggesting their superior ability compared to other individuals. Furthermore, in the 2019 TIMSS Grade 8 science test, there was no significant difference in the abilities of individuals with a moderate response style and those with an acquiescent response style (P > 0.05). However, a statistically significant difference was found between the abilities of individuals with an extreme response style and those of other groups (P < 0.05). A statistically significant difference was also observed between the abilities of individuals with a typical response style and those with an acquiescent response style. These findings can contribute to the improvement of standardized test design, reduction of cultural biases, and provision of strategies for more accurate assessments at both national and international levels.

This study aims to investigate the role of scientific authority in promoting innovative academic research and its impact on the advancement of higher education and scientific development. A narrative review methodology was employed, focusing on a descriptive analysis of articles published between 2014 and 2024. The study utilized scholarly databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, to identify relevant literature. Keywords related to "scientific authority" and "research innovation" guided the search and selection process. The findings were analyzed through a qualitative synthesis of theoretical and empirical studies to explore the relationship between scientific authority and research innovation. The analysis highlights that scientific authority significantly influences the quality and quantity of academic research by fostering collaboration, enabling access to advanced resources, and enhancing credibility in global scientific networks. Universities with strong scientific authority exhibit higher innovation rates due to structured support systems and international collaborations. Despite these advantages, challenges such as unequal access to resources, financial constraints, and institutional disparities hinder the realization of full research potential in some regions. Opportunities for enhancing scientific authority include adopting advanced technologies, supporting interdisciplinary research, and fostering global partnerships to overcome existing limitations. The study concludes that scientific authority is a critical driver of research innovation, shaping the trajectory of academic and technological advancements. Strengthening scientific authority through strategic policies and global collaboration can enhance innovation capabilities, particularly in underrepresented regions. Promoting equitable access to resources and fostering sustainable research environments are essential for leveraging the full potential of scientific authority in advancing academic research.

In recent decades, self-regulated learning has emerged as one of the most significant concepts in modern education, empowering learners to actively and independently manage their learning process. At the same time, rapid advancements in artificial intelligence have led to the creation of innovative tools and platforms that can play a crucial role in supporting self-regulated learning. This article examines the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing self-regulated learning processes and employs a descriptive analysis of previous studies. The findings suggest that artificial intelligence, through tools for more accurate assessment, support for effective learning strategies, and the personalization of learning pathways, can significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of self-regulated learning. Additionally, case studies have shown that AI tools such as chatbots and recommendation systems, by providing instant feedback and analyzing learning behaviors, can increase motivation and self-efficacy among learners. However, the use of AI in self-regulated learning faces challenges and limitations, such as the need for large and accurate data, ethical issues, privacy concerns, and technical and operational challenges that require careful attention and management. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of employing artificial intelligence to enhance self-regulated learning processes, highlighting the need for further research to overcome existing challenges and develop effective solutions. Finally, the article offers recommendations for improving AI applications in self-regulated learning and outlines a promising future for this field.

The relationship between humanity and the concept of freedom dates back to the earliest forms of collective human life. The question of what freedom is and who the free human is has always been a subject of philosophical debate. Both Sartre and Camus have provided thought-provoking insights on the nature of freedom and the free human. Sartre believes that humans are condemned to be free, and that any person who denies their freedom is in bad faith. Thus, humans are beings endowed with absolute freedom, which simultaneously entails responsibility toward others. In contrast, Camus argues that humans possess relative freedom and must continually rise up to defend freedom, as they are responsible to the human community.

Corruption in general, and educational corruption specifically, is a disruptive factor in the development of various societal sectors. The aim of the present study was to validate an educational corruption model in universities. This research was a quantitative-survey study and, in terms of its purpose, was applied. The statistical population included 384 employees of universities and higher education institutions, selected through random sampling. The research tool was a researcher-developed questionnaire based on qualitative findings and the literature review. Structural equation modeling with PLS Smart software was used for data analysis. The results indicated that in the quantitative evaluation of the model, all values were significant, greater than 1.96, and the standardized coefficients were greater than 0.4, confirming the model. Given that the goodness of fit index was 0.626, the final model was confirmed. Accordingly, the impact coefficient of strategies on outcomes (0.90 and t-value of 1.07), the impact of contextual conditions on strategies (24.6 and t-value of 4.7), the impact of intervening conditions on strategies (0.85 and t-value of 1.46), the impact of causal factors on the central phenomenon (93.4 and t-value of 14.6), and the impact of the central phenomenon on strategies (0.714 and t-value of 14.9) were observed. It can be concluded that corruption is a multi-dimensional issue, and higher education policymakers should focus on identifying its causes based on various research results, including the findings of this study, in order to establish and foster corruption-free higher education.
