highly task and context dependent Microanalytic assessment method measures students SRL processes while performing a particular learning task The present study aimed to design a microanalytic SRL assessment protocol for biomedical science learning Methods: This mixed method study was conducted in Tehran University of Medical Sciences Iran in 2013 The data collection tool was a microanalytic SRL assessment protocol that was designed based on the literature review expert opinion and cognitive interview with medical students and then piloted The participants consisted of 13 second year medical students The subjects were interviewed while conducting a biomedical science learning task Interviews were recorded transcribed and coded based on a predetermined coding framework Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data Results: The microanalytic SRL assessment protocol was developed in three parts; interview guide coding framework and biomedical science learning task An interview guide was designed consisting of 6 openended questions aimed at assessing 5 SRL subprocesses of goal setting strategic planning metacognitive monitoring causal attribution and adaptive inferences and a closeended question regarding selfefficacy Based on the pilot study most participants reported taskspecific and taskgeneral processes for the subprocesses of strategic planning (92%) metacognitive monitoring (77%) causal attribution (85%) and adaptive inferences (92%) Conclusion: The developed protocol could capture the finegrained nature of the selfregulatory subprocesses of medical students for biomedical science learning Therefore it has the potential application of modifying SRL processes in early years of medical school }, keywords = {Self,regulated

in 2016 at the School of Medicine Tehran University of Medical Sciences Iran The study population consisted of medical students who had experienced both teambased learning methods (with and without IFAT) Convenience sampling was performed based on the willingness of students to complete a researchermade valid and reliable questionnaire Data were analyzed using SPSS software Results: The IFAT is designed for use in multiresponse questions Based on predetermined patterns the answer was hidden under a surface which was scratched off by students after discussing the answer Of the 139 participants 555% stated that utilizing IFAT caused an increase in the time of discussion and 388% believed that it had small or very small effect on the participation of students who would not previously take part in the discussion In addition 842% noted that the use of this tool increased the accuracy of answers 85 (611%) believed that IFAT made team discussion more exciting Moreover 532% noted that it enhanced the depth of the discussion and 604% stated that discussions became more serious However the majority of students (503%) believed that it had little effect on the integration of knowledge of other subjects in answering questions The students views in the open question in addition to approving the quantitative results showed that students may wait for other teams to reveal the answer before using their form Conclusion: The students believed that the use of the IFAT has positive effects on participation in team work Although it may be a costly method due to its positive effects from the perspective of students the cost associated with buying or producing of the tool seems to be economical In order to prevent the creation of a competitive educational environment it is recommended that students be made effectively aware of the goals and rationales of using this tool Student orientations should be done in multiple time intervals and must be taken into consideration

SelfEfficacy Scale (10 questions) and SelfAssessment of Clinical Reflection and Reasoning (26 questions) were used in this study Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and parametric tests

in students selfefficacy during one semester (P = 0009) However the increase in mean scores of clinical reasoning and selfreflection at the end of the semester was not significant (P = 0460) There was a weak correlation between the selfefficacy variable and clinical reasoning and selfreflection (P = 0010 r = 039) Scores did not show statistically significant differences in either cases and between

caesarian section has always been one of the objectives of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education In addition this subject is one of the 8 objectives of the countrys health system reform plan The aim of this study was the evaluation and explanation of the fundamentals caesarian section in terms of jurisprudence because medicine and jurisprudence can be related in some respects With the consideration of this connection and using Islamic resources training programs can be improved and teaching and learning output strengthened in order to better train medical students and the public on medical issues Methods: The present study was conducted through library research and by studying literature and valid first class sources of Fiqh and Hadith like Wasāil alShīʿa Man Lā Yahzar āl Faqih Mostadrakāl vasāil Qavāid āl Fiqhi and ālmizan and the religious grounds for natural childbirth Moreover books articles and dissertations in the field of medicine and the views of experts in the field were used The common points between these resources were noted in order to achieve the desired result Selection of resources was based on their accreditation  in jurisprudence and medicine Results: By studying a large number of religious Hadith and medical books related to the discussion topic it was found that natural childbirth has a scientific and rational priority over cesarean delivery except in cases of necessity However caesarian delivery is thriving today One of the most important findings of this research is that in addition to its disadvantages cesarean delivery can be indirectly effective in the reduction of population The limiting of the human race is under the “LāZarar” rules of the Islamic jurisprudence This means that harming oneself or others is not legitimate in Islam This is a good reason to study this subject in terms of Islamic jurisprudence and to guide students and researchers toward the development of medical education Conclusion: Cesarean delivery operation is one of the issues that contrary to popular imagination Islamic jurisprudence has discussed The results showed that caesarean section despite less pain than natural childbirth has no advantages over natural childbirth except in special cases and Islamic jurisprudence confirms this in numerous fatwas On the other hand cesarean section is subject to the rules of Islamic jurisprudence and according to the rule of no injury and loss in Islam (LāZarar rule) whatever causes harm to human beings is prohibited One of the major damages that cesarean delivery indirectly causes for human life is the crisis of population reduction and thus it has been forbidden according to the rule of LāZarar}, keywords = {Natural childbirth,Caesarian section,Jurisprudence and medicine,Health sector evolution},
