Background and Rationale for the Project

Analysis is of interest in psychology as an important quality inherent in human consciousness. Psychological analysis is the main method of studying the surrounding world, based on a variety of units, differing in size and quality. For example, the analysis of the course of mental reactions to a specific life situation. For unit of analysis take, for example, the formation of the character of a person from infancy and until death. In this case, the most important psychological components of the personality and the peculiarities of their changes are distinguished under the influence of internal and external factors. The problem of analysis as a method of comprehension is of fundamental importance. Methods of analysis have become so common in psychology and in scientific circles that the term “analysis” has been used as a synonym for research as a whole. (Beccaria, L., Beccaria, G., & McCosker, C. 2018).. The teacher’s knowledge and belief can be classified as content and the teacher’s insight as the practice. They can be differentiated as matched knowledge for educators and practical knowledge for teachers. The educational literature is focused on a lot due to the critical role it plays in helping the Iranian teachers to understand the logic and intricate multidimensional classroom nature. Among the factors that affect learning in classrooms are;

The basic idea of ??a qualitative approach as a phenomenology is the idea expressed by M. M. Bakhtin that the essence of an individual, estimated through an act, can be adequately identified only through the specifics of that personality. Misunderstanding of it appears due to the evaluation of the latter from the outside, abstractly and generalized. “Everything taken independently, regardless of the single value center of the outgoing responsibility of the deed, is deconcrete and deregulated, loses its value weight, emotionally-volitional vigilance, becomes an empty abstract-general possibility. Developed a whole complex of categories-principles, which are the basis of the phenomenological method

Environment: Refers to the environment surrounding the person trying to learn, includes available tools such as technology or material available to perform the research. Although it does not have a direct impact, it influences the habits of the people (Brinkmann, S. (2014).

The presence in psychology of two tendencies – descriptive and explanatory, leads internal psychological disputes to a dead end. Emphasies on this confrontation and suggested that the development of psychology is associated, first of all, with the withering away of one of them. This “useless” from the point of view of practice psychological paradigm is phenomenology, descriptive and subjective psychology (Lewis, 2015).

Research Question or Research Questions

A personal factor that affects learning is motivation, which is the will to make an effort, to reach the goals proposed by oneself, conditioned by the capacity of the effort to satisfy some personal need. The greater the motivation of the person to learn, the more easily he will learn if he has motivation (Heimberg, R. G., & Butler, R. M. (2018).

There are various research questions that will be discussed in the research, these are;

Influence their process of teaching. Various multidimensional variables and aspects are utilized in the research. The study investigates the effects of psychological education in Iranian teachers and ELT classes. The following questions must be presented inorder to achieve the objectives of the contemporary survey (Hox, J. J., Moerbeek, M., & van de Schoot, R. (2017)

These research question will lead to conclusively and comprehensive research study on the effects of education psychology on practises and views of Iranian teachers

Due to the complexity of the research, the researcher’s asked 30 Iranian teachers to participate in the research on the influence of education psychology on views and practices of teachers. Data collection was mainly done through the online platform from different schools in Iran. Some of the teachers were from universities while others were from colleges, elementary school and even lower grade schools (Okonedo & Bamigboye, 2015).. Qualitative, descriptively-interpretative forms are actively used by domestic psychologists. Qualitative analysis of empirical data is an integral part of any pilot study, although the principles and procedures are not clearly defined. At present, the qualitative approach is more like a generation of psychological knowledge at the level of a special phenomenon that requires further structuring, study and refinement. Qualitative research today includes all sorts of phenomenological, narrative procedures, discourse analysis and other “soft” strategies for studying psychological phenomena that have relatively recently appeared in the social sciences.

There are different methods of collecting data. The first is interviews, these is one of the most reliable method of data collection and will be relevant when collecting first-hand information from the teachers. The second method is the questionnaires. Open ended and closed questionnaires are the best if there are specific questions to be asked regarding the language education. It is important to note that questionnaires give some of the most accurate results in any survey. Observation is also a key item in the research. Through observation of learning activities, the researcher will draw conclusions. Survey is the last method that is also necessary in the research.

Methodological Approach

The teachers taking part in the research are from different schools. They are both male and female to be gender balanced. They are 30 teachers from all over the country of Iran with the youngest being 30 years and the oldest being 60 years. They range from ordinary level teacher to a professor of a University specializing in literature and linguistics. The data is both qualitative and quantitative.  Another factor that is already common is called Learning Problems in sample size (Revelle, W. R. (2017).. Learning problems are defined as disorders that may affect a person’s ability to acquire, understand, store or use oral and non-oral information. They affect both children and adults and, more frequently, boys. A teacher with specific teaching problems cannot do the same as others with the same level of intelligence. Detecting if the child has problems is not a difficult task, if the parents and also the teachers are attentive. There are frequent signs that indicate the existence of learning problems.

The main stages of your data collection, including the data collection methods that you intend to use and your intended approach to data analysis

Data collection is about extracting useful information to be used in data processing. There is a widespread range of approaches, techniques and tools that are important in data processing.

Data processing on the other hand is the conversion of raw data to useful and meaningful information through a process. The end result is to produce a desirable output. The main stages of data collection are;

Collection- data collection is literally the first and the crucial stage in collecting quality data. The data collected should be accurate and defined based on the desired findings. Data collection is a product of the schools or organizations day to day activities (Revelle, W. R. (2017)..

Preparation- it is the second stage where it entails manipulation of data for further processing and analysis. It is about database construction for one or more data sources. Preparation of data can produce highly misleading results and is heavily dependent on the data available.

Input- where the data is entered into the system for further analysis. A wrong process or input will lead to bad results after analysis.

Processing- processing is done through various programming language once input is complete. Execution of processing data depends on the operating system.

Output and interpretation- it is the stage where the user gets the processed information. It is usually presented in the form of a report, video, audio and monitor. Output should be interpreted to get the meaningful information.

Sample Identity and Size

Storage- it is holding the information to store. The last process in data collection.

The following are the methods that will be used in data collection. They are, The first is interviews, these is one of the most reliable method of data collection and will be relevant when collecting first-hand information from the teachers (Salman, S., Kauser, T., & Furqan, M. (2018). The second method is the questionnaires. Open ended and closed questionnaires are the best if there are specific questions to be asked regarding the language education. It is important to note that questionnaires give some of the most accurate results in any survey. Observation is also a key item in the research. Through observation of learning activities, the researcher will draw conclusions. Survey is the last method that is also necessary in the research.

Describe the arrangements for sampling potential participants

1) The teachers taking part in the research are from different schools. They are both male and female to be gender balanced. There are 30 teachers from all over the country of Iran with the youngest being 30 years and the oldest being 60 years. They range from ordinary level teacher to a professor of a University specializing in literature and linguistics. The data is both qualitative and quantitative.

2) Describe arrangement for contacting and briefing potential participants

For contacting and briefing participants, Due to the complexity of the research, the researcher’s asked 30 Iranian teachers to participate in the research on the influence of education psychology on views and practices of teachers. Data collection was mainly done through the online platform from different schools in Iran. Some of the teachers were from universities while others were from colleges, elementary school and even lower grade schools (Schmidt, F. L., & Hunter, J. E. (2014).

1. What are the potential benefits of this research project for participants, your organisation or school, and/or the TESOL profession as a whole?
2. Describe any possible negative consequences of participation in the research along with the ways in which these consequences will be limited.

Sometimes the research is skewed and will prove something that is totally wrong in reality. It is time consuming and uses a lot of resources. There are very many barriers of data collection and therefore information may not be accurate. Sometimes there is language barriers and the only way it can be solved is to conduct research using people who can here and speak that language (Silverman, D. (Ed.). (2016)  

1. Describe the arrangements for obtaining institutional and participants’ consent. If participants are under 18 years old, explain how parental/guardian consent will be obtained.

The teachers are all well above their adult age. They range from 30 years to 60 years. They were given consent forms to fill and since each one has attained the age of choice making, then they will be asked to participate in the research Smith, (J. A. (Ed.). (2015).

1. Describe the arrangements for ensuring participant anonymity and confidentiality and how participants will be informed of this.

The following are the methods that will be used in data collection. They are, The first is interviews, these is one of the most reliable method of data collection and will be relevant when collecting first-hand information from the teachers. The second method is the questionnaires. The information should be stored in computer hardware’s and hard disks for traceability

1. Describe how participants will be made aware of their right to withdraw from the research. The participants can fill a withdrawal form requesting termination of work given by the researcher.  
2. Describe the arrangements for sharing findings with the participants and/or explain how you will offer to share your findings.
