learning style, self efficacy and intrinsic motivation as predictors of iranian ielts reading comprehension

this thesis attempts to measure learning styles, self efficacy and intrinsic motivation as predictors of iranian ielts reading comprehension. in order to address this issue, a quantitative study was conducted on some randomly selected intact students at ferdowsi university. these two groups were assigned as they were undergraduate (ba=91) and graduate (ma =74) students; they were all aged betwe...

assessing metacognitive awareness and learning strategies as positive predictors in promoting l2 learners’ reading comprehension

the purpose of this thesis was to investigate how differently metacognitive, cognitive, and social/affective strategies affect l2 learners’ reading comprehension. to this end, the study employed a quasi-experimental design with a placement test as a proficiency test to find the homogeneity of groups. three classes were randomly selected as the experimental groups (n =90), and each class was tau...

Evaluation of pre-breeding reproductive tract scoring as a predictor of long term reproductive performance in beef heifers.

In a 7-year longitudinal study 292 Bovelder beef cows in a restricted breeding system in South Africa were observed from 1 to 2 days before their first breeding season, when reproductive tract scoring (RTS, scored from 1 to 5) was performed, until weaning their 5th calves. The objective was to determine whether pre-breeding RTS in heifers is a valid tool to predict long-term reproductive perfor...

I-20: Quality of Life Measures in Reproductive Health

Background Quality of life or more correctly health-related quality of life is currently receiving more attention in biomedical literature and outcome studies. However, there are several issues that we should be dealt with. First, measuring quality of life needs valid and reliable instruments. In addition, it is important to know how we conceptualize quality of life and reproductive health. Fin...
