Original Research, D88 Vejdani S. and Nik Khah R. J. Educ. Manage. Stud., 4(3): 519-527, 2014 ABSTRACT: Transnational Organized crimes are being considered as one of the most important problems of the 21st century. These crimes are daily increasing for various reasons. They affect different social, cultural and political structures in transnational as well as international levels. General determination in the international level and required coordination to prevent these crimes is shown by the UN in the form of codification and the enactment of conventions against transnational crimes (Palermo and Merida). Iran, as one of the suitable places for these crimes, is highly affected by them. For this reason, prevention is considered as an undeniable necessity that requires planning and policy making. However, no particular prevention has been done and no independent body of strategies has been designated. So, in order to exit from this situation, different prevention strategies such as pastoral and social preventions have been set each of which can lead to the decreased number of organized crimes or people committing such crimes. Present study having a descriptive-analytical method and gathering data through secondary sources, focuses on UN conventions against Transnational Organized Crimes (Palermo and Merida) and tries to analyze proposed and executed plans and strategies offered by the government of Iran against them. For this purpose, policies and positions taken by the government of Iran against these crimes are compared to international approaches to look for their homogeneity as well as heterogenei ty. Research findings show no homogeneity between the taken measures by the government of Iran against Transnational Organized Crimes and UN conventions (Palermo and Merida). |

pii: S2322477014000116-4 A New Model as English Tutorial Assistant Based on Augmented Reality |
Original Research, D116 J. Educ. Manage. Stud., 4(3): 695-701, 2014 ABSTRACT: English learning as an international language is a required skill for students but despite of trying there are factors which limited the learning progress. These factors have negative effects on student‘s learning process such as their fatigue, not learning all vocabularies around students and lack of motivation in English learning activities, and training time and students limited practice out of their classroom. It is obvious that cognitive and social skills of children has developed over time and also modern technologies as Augmented Reality(AR) and virtual reality has lead to innovative learning environment in informal learning which could make the learning interactive, effective and powerful, and decrease the negative effect of traditional training. In this paper a model has presented for development of augmented reality in English training for children.

The reliability of the questionnaire was checked using Cronbach’s alpha method. In addition, structural validity was used in order to calculate the validity, which the results demonstrated the validity of the questionnaire. The findings indicated the proper fitting of the model based on the effect of identified dimensions in using ICT by the faculty members of Islamic Azad University of Sari. On other words, special attention should be paid to cost and capital, educational, technical and structural, and skill factors in order to use ICT effectively. Moreover, the results of factor analysis demonstrated that the four factors are able to explain about 59.8% of the factors affecting the use of ICT. Eventually, the results showed that there is a significant difference between the dimensions affecting the employment of ICT by the faculty members of Islamic Azad University of Sari.
