        The present study investigated on the effectiveness of training programs held in the first eight months of 2011 in Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. Research method was evaluation. Evaluation and goal-oriented approach of Kirkpatrick's model was used to do this study. The population study included all 421 of employees in Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. In order to evaluate the reaction level Karami (1386) Questionnaire was used, and to evaluate the learning, pre-test and post- test was applied, and also to evaluate the behavior, a researcher-made questionnaire was used. Findings indicated that the learners were satisfied with the training programs. Also learning in all training programs was in a desirable status. But, in the third level (behavior) result showed that the effectiveness of training courses was doubted. Manuscript profile

        Innovative and entrepreneurial skills are among two relatively related aspects of in-service training courses which have been neglected so far. In the current study, we first attempted to obtain a holistic framework including influential elements within innovative and entrepreneurial skill developments in in-service training systems through theoretical studies; then we applied a semi-structured interview with 16 participants comprised of senior managers and experts who have been chosen through intuitive sampling from the target population of the study which is National Organization For Civil Registration to reach a given framework that is able to classify identified elements into innovative and entrepreneurial aspects. Finally five detected elements were prioritized using a questionnaire which are as follows:1)Quantity and quality of in-service training courses, 2)Capabilities of instructors and mentors, 3)Contents of in-service training courses, 4)Manners of in-service training courses and 5)Planning for in-service training.

        In virtual in-service teacher training, instructional support or scaffolding is an essential component of effective training that can be provided in the form of computer-based scaffolding. Personalization of computer-based scaffolding is achieved with dynamic computer-based scaffolding. The purpose of this study is to design and validate a model of dynamic computer-based scaffolding in virtual in-service teacher training. The research method used in this research was mixed method with sequential exploratory design. In qualitative research, the synthesis research method was used and the components of the model were extracted and a concept and process model was designed. Quantitative research was used to validate the model and survey research method and questionnaire were used and the internal validity of the proposed model was confirmed. Dynamic computer-based scaffolding model in virtual in-service teacher training has 8 main components and 47 sub-components. Key components include analysis with 11 subcomponents, design with 16 subcomponents, development with 3 subcomponents, implementation with 3 subcomponents, evaluation with 8 subcomponents, dissermination with 3 subcomponents, process evaluation and revision, and review and revision with 3 subcomponents. Internal validaty findings from experts showed that concept and process model have a high internal validity. Dynamic computer-based scaffolding model in online in-service teacher training can be used to design dynamic and computer-based instructional support and lead to learning and independent performance in the future.
