The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors of academic success or failure of male and female students in the agricultural secondary high schools. The type of this quantitative research was a survey type and the statistical population of this study was male and female students studying in agricultural high schools affiliated with the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad in the eleventh and twelfth grades in the provinces of iran. The sample size of students in this study was determined using the sampling table, which was 184 people who were surveyed through random sampling. The reliability of the research instrument using Cronbach's alpha method for the questionnaire measuring the level of academic success/failure of eleventh and twelfth grade students was determined to be 0.87 and to determine validity, face validity .The results showed that the factors affecting the academic success of students in the agricultural colleges studied were eleven factors included: familiarity with the correct study method, teaching methods and teachers' attention, attitude of the conservatory officials, family and mental peace, interest in the field of study, having internal anxiety, influence of those around them, volume of homework, mental ability, amenities and access, and career future can be categorized.the results indicate that the variables of the previous year's grade point average, father's education level, future career, familiarity with the correct study method, teaching method and teachers' attention, and interest in the field of study were variables that predicted the academic success of students in the agricultural conservatories studied.

Social Network Sites (SNSs), as a tool for conveying educational messages, have a high position in the agricultural education system. The use of SNSs can affect different aspects of the educational system. Numerous studies have examined the relationship between the use of SNSs and various variables of educational system outputs. This study seeks to identify the factors affecting the educational use of social media and academic performance of agricultural students. The statistical population was 111,528 students of public agricultural colleges across the country in the academic year 2018-2019, of which 400 students were selected from eight universities in the country using Morgan table and multi-stage random sampling method. Data were collected by a researcher-made questionnaire using Likert Scale whose morphological validity was confirmed by a number of professors in the field of agricultural extension and Persian literature, and its content validity was confirmed by Average Variance Extracted (AVE between 0.64 and 0.73 for different variables) and reliability was confirmed using sequental theta (Ɵ between 0.85 and 0.92 for different variables). To investigate the effect of variables on students’ academic performance, t, f and Pearson correlation coefficient were used, respectively, and the findings showed that the most common use of SNSs among students is related to communicating with friends and family. There is a significant difference between the educational use of these networks by male and female students and also between students of different educational levels, but no significant difference was observed between different disciplines. It was also found that the rate of educational use of social networks among students who used these networks for educational purposes, has a positive effect on their academic performance, so it is suggested that educational administrators and planners as well as university professors pay more attention to the inclusion of these media in the curriculum.

The main aim of this research was to analyze the effects of emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence, and mental health to reduce academic burnout and to boost performance of agricultural Students. Present study is an applied research which was implemented using field survey. The statistical population was agricultural students of Iran public universities in 2018 (N=236973). 386 students were selected as a sample through stratified random sampling method. Research tool was a closed-ended questionnaire which its validity confirmed by a panel of experts. Ordinal theta coefficients demonstrated an acceptable reliability for the research tool (θ=0.74-0.89). The findings of path analysis revealed that independent variables predicted 69.3, 42.3 and 30.3 percent of variations in academic performance, academic burnout and mental health, respectively.
