The research method was qualitative content analysis. The statistical population of the study was all the students of sport education, educators, legislators, real and legal persons related to education. Sampling was continued purposefully until data saturation. The data gathering process consisted of 14 semi-structured interviews and a review of the documents related to the exercise of student education. Data analysis was performed simultaneously with data gathering and qualitative content analysis using MAXQDA software. In the open coding process, 69 concepts, 9 sub categories and finally, 3 main categories were created. The results of this study showed that the three main strategies for the development of trans-sectional participation in the student's sport are the creation of formal developmental partnerships, the development of participatory culture and the development of a participatory system; therefore, the desirable development of trans-sectional participation in sports requires knowledge The implementation of these three categories of executive activities requires the engagement of all stakeholder groups.The purpose of this study was to identify the Ways of development of trans-sectional cooperation in student sport.

The research method is qualitative with systematic analysis approach. The statistical population consisted of two sections of human society (professors of sport management, deputies and experts of the Ministry of Education and teachers of physical education) and information society. The statistical sample was adequately sampled based on theoretical saturation and available for sampling and survey (16 persons and 30 documents). Research tools included systematic library study and semi-structured interview. Validity of the instrument was evaluated using descriptive qualitative methods (content validity, kappa coefficient). Conceptual coding and conceptual framing were used to analyze the findings. The analytical framework presented consists of three main parts: input, process and output or output. these three sections include goals, resources, opportunities and needs, and the process section including quality of education management, quality of educational environment, quality of educational program, quality of educational facilities, quality of teacher in teaching process, quality of inclusive participation, quality of teaching. And evaluation is based on quality. the consequences of the system include individual, organizational, and social consequences. Therefore, it can be said that the determinants of the quality of education in physical education and sport in schools are not limited to a specific section such as quality education planning, opportunities, needs or processes, but rather to the whole. The system exists and each department needs a specific strategy to implement the quality assurance model.The purpose of this study was to present an analytical framework for quality assurance model of physical education and sport education in Iranian schools.

Accordingly, the aim of the present study was to design the self- leadership model of elite athletes to determine how elite athletes can use this phenomenon. The present study was conducted qualitatively and by the classic (emerging) grounded theory. 19 experts were interviewed by semi-structured interviews using targeted sampling method and data gathering were completed by the theoretical saturation criterion. A set of open, selective, and theoretical coding methods were used to analyze the qualitative data. The trustworthiness of the findings was confirmed by various methods and calculation of agreement coefficient. According to the results, 93 final codes were created and the self-leadership of elite athletes included four types of cognitive control (13 codes), behavioral control (15 codes), emotional control (8 codes) and managerial control (10 codes), and behavioral control was selected as the main category. Also, two types of environmental and personal constraints (17 codes) have adverse effects on the self-leadership ability of athletes. Self-leadership of athletes can be developed by training and reinforcement strategies (15 codes). Ultimately, the self-leadership of athletes has three positive consequences (15 codes): improved performance, self-esteem, and success, which is success is final than the others. Findings can be considered as the basis for further research and guidance for practical.Self-leadership is one of theories of leadership, which refers to the process of influencing oneself.

The research method was descriptive-correlational, which was performed cross-sectionally. The participants included 513 adolescent boys and girls who were selected by using a convenience sampling method. The main research variables included variables related to self-determination theory (including perceived autonomy support, intrinsic motivation in physical education class, and intrinsic motivation in leisure-time), and variables related to theory of planned behavior (including attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control). The research data were collected using standard questionnaires. Statistical analysis of correlation test and structural equation method were used for statistical analysis. The results showed that perceived autonomy support was significantly associated with intrinsic motivation in the physical education class, and subsequently the intrinsic motivation created in the school physical education environment was transferred to intrinsic motivation in leisure-time. Also, the results showed that intrinsic motivation in leisure-time had significant relationships with the components of the theory of planned behavior. In addition, the components of planned behavior (except attitude) were significantly associated with the intention to physical activity. Finally, the intention to physical activity was significantly associated with the physical activity behavior. These results support the trans-contextual model and demonstrate the importance of the physical education environment in school to motivate leisure-time physical activities. These results can be very important for physical education teachers and sports coaches.The purpose of this study was to investigate the trans-contextual model of the role of physical education in school on the motivation and physical activity behavior of adolescents.

To predict, the scenario-based approach based on an intuitive logic approach was applied and to design the scenarios, the strategy of trends and uncertainty analysis as well as a six-step integrated scenario planning were used. First, the project boundary was specified. Then, the main factors of development and the blind spots were identified with a 360-degree feedback. Subsequently, two key uncertainties were formulated as the basis to design the scenario. Then, a complete definition for the four possible scenarios was provided in detail. In the fifth step, a general strategy based on the scenarios was presented. Finally, in the last step the strategies were monitored and controlled. The participants of this study were 44 internal and external stakeholders of Iranian educational sport selected by a purposeful sampling. The data were collected through interviews and open-ended questionnaires. According to the results, the analysis of the 30 key factors ultimately lead to the production of two key uncertainties; "networking among key actors" and "family and community synergy", which were the basis of Iran's four major educational sporting scenarios. As a result, it is suggested that, in order to develop the Iranian educational sport, networking and synergy of institutions with the focus on Ministry of Sport and Youth be done.The aim of this study was to explore the future of educational sport in Iran to predict the future of educational sport and to formulate strategies for the year 2035. To predict, the scenario-based approach based on an intuitive logic approach was applied and to design the scenarios, the strategy of trends and uncertainty analysis as well as a six-step integrated scenario planning were used. First, the project boundary was specified. Then, the main factors of development and the blind spots were identified with a 360-degree feedback. Subsequently, two key uncertainties were formulated as the basis to design the scenario. Then, a complete definition for the four possible scenarios was provided in detail. In the fifth step, a general strategy based on the scenarios was presented. Finally, in the last step the strategies were monitored and controlled. The participants of this study were 44 internal and external stakeholders of Iranian educational sport selected by a purposeful sampling. The data were collected through interviews and open-ended questionnaires.
