Individuals develop their basic attitudes, values and skills in early years of life. The purpose of this study is to explore reasons of preschool children’s attitudes towards environmental issues in terms of consumption patterns, environmental protection, recycling-reusing, and living habits. The statistical population contains preschool age children living in Mashhad, Iran. Due to some problems (child care staff and parent's non-cooperation), available sampling method was chosen. The sample of the study was comprised of 40 preschool age children from 3 kindergartens and the data were collected through interviews. The interview questionnaire was adapted from Murak standard questionnaire and be supported by the pictures which were illustrated by the researcher. The analysis effort method was content analysis of interview transcripts and autobiography. The results show that in most cases, eco-centric attitudes is stronger than anthropocentric attitudes and children had no idea about some concepts such as the concept of recycling. Kindergarten as a place where children spend most of their childhood years, when they are strongly able to learn and imitate, can be considered as one of the most important circumstances which is able to change children's environmental attitudes.

In this study, the present researchers examined the effects of seating in teacher action zone on learning and retention rate of mathematics among the 5th grade students. For this purpose, pre-test/post-test control group design was used. The population of this study was all the 5th grade elementary students of Basht, a small city in Iran. Two-stage random cluster sampling was used to select 32 students. Then, they were divided into two groups, experimental and control group. Both groups responded to the same pre-test, post-test, and retention tests. During the mathematics training sessions, students of the experimental group seated in teacher’s action zone while students of the control group seated in other parts of class. In order to analyze data in descriptive statistics, measures such as mean and standard deviation were used. For inferential statistics, standard covariance tests were used to examine hypotheses of the research. The obtained results not only showed that students who seat in teacher's action zone get better grades but also their retentions of the concepts are better than the students who seat in other parts of classes.
