In early 2020, the world faced a crisis of corneal respiratory disease. To reduce the prevalence of cornea 19 due to the high transmission of the virus, this led to the closure of educational institutions and universities in many countries, and universities faced unprecedented challenges. In response to these global emergencies, the world's higher education institutions have been forced to resort to e-learning and digital tools. One of the important components in holding e-learning is having a student support system in the university and educational institution. The student support system in e-learning includes all services and supports that lead to student academic success. This article mentions the student support system and its need to improve the status of e-learning. Important challenges of e-learning and student support needed based on the researcher's semi-structured interview with Aja University of Medical Sciences students included reduced interaction between professors and poor internet bandwidth, financial problems, technical problems in terms of hardware and software.

Background The rise of third generation universities as an objective representation of industry-university relationships opens new horizons of job creation for university planners and managers. In our country, most universities are placed in second generation universities category, i.e. research-oriented universities which are not so active in commercialization of research findings. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to prioritize the factors affecting third generation universities. Methods The present study is an applied research in term of purpose which was conducted through a mixed methods approach. The statistical population of the research included faculty members, managers, and deputy directors of Mashhad University of Medical sciences in the academic year 2019-2020 (N=1041). A sample of 212 individuals was selected through stratified sampling method. Delphi method was used to obtain the opinions of 30 experts. The research tool was a research-made questionnaire extracted from the qualitative section whose validity was confirmed by experts as well as its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (0.9). The confirmed questionnaire with 7 factors and 25 components was administered and data were analyzed using SPSS 21 software. Results The results of the present study showed that the two factors of focus and attention of management to entrepreneurship, and reform of education and research system with emphasis on entrepreneurship had the most impact (0.97); however, the factor of applying cultural values in order to move towards third-generation universities with a coefficient of (0.75) had the least impact. Conclusion Medical universities officials should endeavor to develop entrepreneurship in universities, which requires simultaneous planning and attention to all factors, especially the factors of management attention to entrepreneurship and reforming of education and research system.

Background: The economic foundation and competitive advantage of medical organizations depend on their reliance on knowledge and its effective management. Knowledge Management (KM) consists of interconnected processes developed for acquiring, organizing, transferring, applying, and reproducing knowledge. Knowledge acquisition is a fundamental issue in educational organizations, especially in those responsible for medical education development. Knowledge resources and users are two major factors affecting the acquisition of medical knowledge. Methods: Argumentative literature review is used in this study.The Search sources include PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The keywords for the search terms included "Knowledge management and medical education, healthcare and medicine. Inclusion criteria were: English and Persian language papers, Original published papers, Medical-focused articles and Articles published in the last fifty years. Exclusion criteria were: Articles written in languages other than English and Persian, Articles not related to the medical sciences and Conference and non-original papers. The study questions focuses on three components: repositories, content and ICT, including: 1) What are the requirements of medical “knowledge repositories” for optimal knowledge acquisition?, 2) What are the requirements of medical “knowledge content” for optimal knowledge acquisition,? And 3) what are the” ICT” requirements for optimal knowledge acquisition?. Results: Argumentative review of literature describe and summarize the principles of knowledge acquisition in medical education, focusing on knowledge resources and its components including: repositories, content, and Information and Communication Technology. Conclusion: Considering the fundamental role of medical universities in the development of medical knowledge and practice on one hand, and the importance of innovative and knowledge-based activities on the other hand, these universities should constantly benefit from the findings of different areas of medical science in training medical students. The acquisition and management of modern medical knowledge and techniques can help medical professors and students examine curriculum contents with respect to modern technological developments and medical education approaches. These processes would also lead to constructive developments and changes in medical education.

Background: The aim of present study was to determine the effect of using the experimental model of induction of structural-functional disorder in the practical training of gastrointestinal (GI) physiology on the level of knowledge and attitude of medical students. Methods: The present study was a descriptive studyconducted on medical students for three consecutive semesters. Initially, students were divided into groups of 15 people and the experimental models of stress and peptic ulcer induction were explained theoretically using PowerPoint software. Then, for each group of students a rat, which was prepared on the same day as the stress ulcer model, was described after induction of anesthesia. At the end, students were asked to complete a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of 7 questions in a 5-point Likert scale. Results: The participants were 187 medical students with mean age of 20.28 ± 1.82 years. Students agreed “high” and “very high” with holding the laboratory for raising knowledge (90.4%), changing their attitude towards GI physiology (68.5%), enhancing their skills (54.5%), being interesting and innovative (89.9%), increasing their interest in learning the topics of GI physiological theory (75.7%), identifying "stress ulcer and peptic ulcer" (79.2%), as well as holding the sessions of the laboratory for the future courses (84.5%). Conclusion: Findings indicated that experimental work on live animals greatly enhanced students’ knowledge and learning. It seems that using animals should not be replaced entirely by virtual experiments; however, the combination of several teaching methods such as blended laboratories is recommended for some concepts and physiological processes including in GI physiology.

Introduction: Today, learning English is an undeniable necessity because English is the language of science and training of different disciplines at higher levels and science production is done in English. A variable motivation is to be remembered in the learning category as a fundamental pillar. Materials and Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 607 students of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences and Ferdowsi from faculties of Health, Nursing and midwifery, paramedical, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, agriculture, geological, veterinary and biology who were studying in the third semester, were studied during the academic year 98-1397. In this study, the faculties of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences and Ferdowsi University were selected. Stratified sampling method was set up. In this study, the motivation and attitude of English language Learning (Gardner) questionnaire was used. Results: The mean score of total attitude and knowledge in Ferdowsi University was 109.29 ± 16.04 and in the University of Medical Sciences was 108.91 ± 17.39. 2.1% of the students had poor motivation and attitude, 24.7% mean, 64.7% good and 8.4% had a good motivation and attitude to learn. By assessing the score of attitude and motivation, the students had a positive attitude towards the language, but the motivation of language was not favorable among students. There was a significant relationship between students ' motivation and their educational level (P 0.05). Conclusion: The students of two universities--without significant differences had a good attitude toward language learning. However, the motivation score was not as desirable. Not using the books and resources of the original language, inappropriate employment, or lack of employment, economic difficulties and so on can be from motivational impediments.

Context: Learning styles as student preferences for acquiring and nurturing knowledge are different by considering their individual and social factors. Socio-cultural factors and the educational structure of different countries are some of the factors affecting this field. Aims: The present study aimed to compare the learning style of Iranian and international medical students of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Settings and Design: The present descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among the medical students studying in the basic sciences course of Tehran University of Medical Sciences during 2018-2019. Methods and Material: Complete enumeration was used for sampling and data were collected by using VARK standard questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS 21. Results: Among 225 students participating in the present study 46.4 and 53.5% of the participants were Iranian and international students, respectively. Based on comparing the mean score of four learning styles among Iranian and international medical students, two kinesthetic (p <0.05) and aural (p <0.05) styles were significantly different. The results of the present study represented the preference of bi-model learning style among Iranian and international students (87%) compared to that of tri- and quad-model ones. Conclusions: Based on the results of the present study, the learning style of both groups was bi-model although a difference was observed between Iranian and international students regarding uni-model style. Thus, different active education methods should be used to improve the academic performance of students in order to utilize all the senses for learning
