The present research is quantitative and qualitative. Qualitative data were collected using direct observations, document study and interviews with experts, then quantitative data were collected in a survey by preparing a questionnaire according to the Likert scale and using the method Structural equation modeling (SEM) of the relationships between variables and their impact in the studied schools was analyzed by Spss and Amos software. Sampling was done by two-stage cluster method and then a random sample was used.
