Read More INTRODUCTION: Studies about globalization and internationalization demonstrate different attitudesin explaining these concepts. Since there is no consensus among Iranian specialists about theseconcepts, the purpose of this study is to explain the concepts of internationalization and globalizationin Iran.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study is a systematic review done in the first half of 2016.To explain the concept of globalization and internationalization, articles in Scientific InformationD atabase, Magiran database, and Google Scholar were searched with the keywords such asglobalization, scientific exchange, international cooperation, curriculum exchange, student exchange,faculty exchange, multinational cooperation, transnational cooperation, and collaborative research.Articles, used in this study, were in Persian and were devoted to internationalization and globalizationbetween 2001 and 2016. The criterion of discarding the articles was duplicity.RESULTS: As many as 180 Persian articles were found on this topic. After discarding repetitivearticles, 64 remained. Among those, 39 articles mentioned the differences between globalizationand internationalization. Definitions of globalization were categorized in four categories, includingglobalization, globalizing, globalization of higher education, and globalizing of higher education.Definitions about internationalization were categorized in five categories such as internationalization,internationalization of higher education, internationalization of the curriculum, internationalization ofcurriculum studies, and internationalization of curriculum profession.CONCLUSION: The spectrum of the globalization of higher education moves from dissonance andmultipolarization to unification and single polarization of the world. One end of the spectrum, whichis unification and single polarization of the world, is interpreted as globalization. The other side of thespectrum, which is dissonance and multipolarization, is interpreted as globalizing. The definition ofinternalization is the same as that of globalizing. In other words, it is possible to say that internalizationis similar to globalizing but different from globalization.

The face‑to‑face and group education course were heldin two weekly sessions for intervention groups during two consecutive weeks, and the usualcare was conducted for the control group. The rate of informed choice and decisional conflictwas measured in pregnant women before education and also at weeks 20–22 of pregnancy inthree groups. The data analysis was executed using SPSS statistical software (version 16), andstatistical tests were implemented including Chi‑square test, Kruskal–Wallis test, Wilcoxon test,Mann–Whitney U‑test, one‑way analysis of variance test, and Tukey’s range test. The P < 0.05was considered as a significant.RESULTS: The results showed that there was statically significant difference between three groupsin terms of frequency of informed choice in screening of fetal abnormalities (P = 0.001) in sucha way that at next step of intervention, 62 participants (77.5%) in face‑to‑face education group,64 members (80%) in group education class, and 20 persons (25%) in control group had the informedchoice regarding screening tests, but there was no statistically significant difference between twoindividual and group education classes. Similarly, during the postintervention phase, there was astatistically significant difference in mean score of decisional conflict scale among pregnant womenregarding screening tests in three groups (P = 0.001).DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: With respect to effectiveness of group and face‑to‑faceeducation methods in increasing the informed choice and reduced decisional conflict in pregnantwomen regarding screening tests, each of these education methods may be employed accordingto the clinical environment conditions and requirement to encourage the women for conducting thescreening tests.
