The topic of employee professional development was first addressed by Gardiner et al., 2000 in charge of professional development at York University. This research study aims to investigate the relationship between educational leadership and teacher self-efficacy in the professional development of Shandong elementary school teachers. The research method is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population consists of 1260 Shandong elementary school teachers. To determine the sample size based on Morgan table, a sample of 374 (104 male and 270 female) was selected using a cluster sampling method. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (one-sample t-test, Pearson correlation, and multivariate regression) were used to analyze the data. The educational Leadership Questionnaire from Standard, the self-efficacy questionnaire, and the teachers' professional development questionnaire was used for data collection. Professors and experts confirmed the validity of the questionnaires. The reliability of the questionnaires was obtained using Cronbach's alpha coefficient for educational leadership (0.92) and the self-efficacy questionnaire (0.78) as well as for professional development (0.97). The results revealed that the educational leadership variable with the highest impact with beta (BETA = 0.49) and self-efficacy with the negligible impact (BETA = 0.14) predict the professional development variable. The mean scores of educational leadership, self-efficacy, and professional development are above average. There is a significant relationship between educational leadership and self-efficacy in professional development.

Teacher training centers have an effective role in facilitating learning and the effectiveness of the teaching process by offering new curricula tailored to the human dimension. Educational systems, in the transition from quantitative issues and the generalization of education, have inevitably paid attention to the quality issues of educational phenomena and have improved the quality of education through the main factor in an educational system, namely the "teacher". The concept of teacher professional development has emerged since the middle of the twentieth century with the need to implement reforms in educational systems. In generalizing this concept, research findings and comparative study of educational systems have had a great impact. This main contribution of this study is reviewing and determining the desired criteria and characteristics of teachers in the field of information and communication technology with emphasis on e-learning environment in IRAN. ICT means the use of electronic devices such as cameras, video, audio devices, computers And the Internet. In this article, for philosophical, social and psychological reasons, the teacher education curriculum based on information technology (ICT) has been examined. Then, a proposed model of curriculum development based on ICT is discussed and the professional qualifications of teachers are examined.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of teachers' game education in correcting the operational problems of first-grade elementary students in the west of Asia. This research is quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test designs with an unequal control group. The statistical population consisted of all first-grade students of cities in the academic year of 1998-99 with 987 students. The sampling method was multi-stage cluster random sampling, and the research method was quasi-experimental, selected in each group of 10 people. Then, the word game training course was performed in 13 sessions, twice a week, for 30 min. The researcher-made test of operational problems was used to collect data. The results based on the findings revealed that the training course on wordplay is effective in improving the verbal errors related to visual, auditory, and accuracy and attention, as well as non-writing and its significance level, is 0.001. According to the results, wordplay affects errors of elementary school students, When students receive this game, their writing skills and auditory memory will improve, and they will remember things better.
