Teaching Arabic through play is one of the best ways to increase students' motivation and learning. The main purpose of this article is to investigate the impact of Arabic educational games on learning and inner and outer motivation of female students in Saveh city. This study was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test with control group. The statistical population consisted of 210 seventh grade students in two schools in Saveh city, 30 were randomly assigned to the experimental group and 30 to the control group. Data collection tools included the modified Harter Academic Motivation Questionnaire (1981) and a standard researcher-made questionnaire. The game-based training was conducted in four 30-minute sessions. The games were designed electronically and researcher-made to achieve the translational educational goals of some seventh grade Arabic lessons. The scientific evaluation was done by two quantitative tests. Motivation variables were calculated using the modified Harter questionnaire by Likert method. The data were analyzed by SPSS software using independent t-test. The results showed that teaching Arabic through play did not have a significant effect on students' learning and motivation.

In order to evaluate the effect of different preharvest fertilization methods on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of kiwifruit (var. Hayward) at postharvest stage, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with 8 treatments in four replications in Citrus and Sub-tropical Fruits Research Center during three crop years (2014- 2016). Fertilizer treatments included broadcast application (control), localized placement, strip, foliar, fertigation, broadcast application + foliar, fertigation + foliar and localized placement + foliar. Then in the first of November in each year, sampling of the treated fruits was carried out to measure the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the fruit at postharvest stage during three years. Harvested fruits were kept cold storage at 0.5 ° C and 90% relative humidity for three months. The results showed, the fertilizer method had a significant effect on the fruits weight loss. So that the fruits fed by strip (6.08%), fertigation (6.74%) and combination of fertigation and foliar application (6.61 %) methods had less weight loss during cold storage, respectively. L * and chroma content of flesh were affected by the fertigation method. Result also showed that the control fruits had the lowest amount of antioxidant capacity and strip fertilization treatment had the highest antioxidant capacity during cold storage. Sensory attributes analysis showed that the amount of aroma, flavour, off-flavour, sweetness, sourness and overall fruit acceptability in fruits treated by broadcast application + foliar method obtained the most desirable scores.
