Abstract
Background: Learning and teaching is a bilatheral connection between student and teacher ,so evaluation of both of them is an important necessity in academic Institues.if we accept that teachers ability lead to effective learning in students or their unability can reduce education outputs, so we conclude that teacher,s function score must be related with student,s educational function score.
Material and Methods: This study is a descriptive correlation study .all of faculty members , were teaching special courses ,and 62students in second semester of 85-86 from librarian, medical records and health care management majors were contributed in study. teacher,s evaluation score and student,s mean scores were provided through educational chancellor of university. Anlyzing was done by spss software ,and use of descriptive statistic and correlation index.
Results: Evaluation mean score of teashers and mean score of student,s courses were different in 3 educational groups. correlation between of teacher,s evaluation scores and student,s mean scores was adverse and was,nt sicnificant.(r=-0/095 in health care management),(r=-0/1in med.records),(r=-0/6in libererian).
Conclusion: We accept that teachers ability can lead to effective learning in students or inability can reduce education outputs.in this study There was no significant relation between of two variables.so we conclude educational system must notice more and more to evaluatin tools for accurating, richment and updating those.

Abstract
Background: As in many countries, Medical Education (ME) is offered in three levels including Undergraduate ME, Graduate ME, and Continuing ME. Information theology development has provided a suitable chance for ME. E-learning in ME is growing more and more. The present study seeks to determine the key success factors (KSF) in E-learning in medical fields.
Material and Methods: KSF has been scrutinized in the literature following of which, and due to similarity, a classification with seven groupings was established including institutional factor, technology, interested parties, information knowledge, methods and approaches educational resources, and environmental factors. Through a questionnaire, the data were gathered from the information technology (IT) directors in all medical universities throughout the country. The data collected were subjected to factorial analysis. Data from heads of educational groups were obtained through focus group discussion. Cronbach reliability coefficient was calculated for questionnaire used. Factorial analysis was used to identify meaningful KSF. T-Test, and one-way variance analysis as well as Pearson's correlation were used. The analysis was conducted with SPSS software.
Results: The preparedness factors were analyzed through group discussions with the heads of the academic departments under the study. By factorial analyses, five factors were found. Fisher Exeact Test was used to compare the obtained ratios in 5% curve whose results showed that among the three factors including legal and technical environment, specialized hardware and software, and high speed internet, performance interest and potentials showed a significant difference (p=0.002). A p=0.011 was found for the authorities' interest and financial and non-financial rewards. No other significant differences were found anywhere else.
Conclusion: Appropriate strategies to coordinate and aligned with the conditions that must be taken, including some of them can be cited : Document Perspective drawn by the Ministry of Health, Content production (medical, etc.) to the appropriate shape, Develop technical and communications infrastructure, First e-learning development in the field of basic science And then as a complementary training in Clinical Science, Develop and build information literacy skills among teachers and students And encourage them in this area, Platforms and create the appropriate structures and interactions necessary, Despite the virtual library, Drawing rules for the protection of creators and owners of content rights education, Culture correct and appropriate, Private sector participation in developing e-learning and ..so on

Abstract
Background: One of the necessities of hospital administrations is that the top and middle managers should be familiar with leadership styles and conflict management strategies completely and select a right managerial method. Through this, they can actively play a significant role in improving effectiveness and efficiency of hospital performance. The main objective of this research is surveying the relationship between Fidler's LPC score (as a sign for leadership style) and conflict management strategies (avoidance oriented, solution oriented, control oriented).
Materials and Methods: For surveying leadership styles Fiddler's Least Preferred Coworker questionnaire and for surveying conflict management strategies, another questionnaire was used. The reliability of these two was 0.90 and 0.88 respectively. The survey population was consisted of the high and middle managers of Kerman's educational hospitals (81), and a sample 67 individuals was selected for survey.
Results: The result showed that respondents mostly use communication oriented style and employed conflict management strategies are avoidance, solution and control respectively. Also it was observed that there is a positive and significant relation between LPC score and avoidance and solution strategies (r= 0.512 and 0.298 respectively). But there is a negative and significant relation between LPC score and control oriented strategy (r= -0.474).
Conclusion: According to the findings it is suggested that, the reasons of using avoidance strategy should be surveyed and try to encourage people to state their inconsistent ideas and converse freely. This could help organization to improve its performance. But communication oriented style is suitable and its maintenance should be taken into consideration.
