Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify the cognitive function of Payame Noor University students about Covid 19 virus using fuzzy Delphi technique. The present study is a qualitative research, based on the present time, in terms of applied purpose, and in terms of collecting field information. The statistical population consisted of master and bachelor students of Payame Noor University of Alborz province. Non-random sampling method was selected. Data were also collected through in-depth and semi-structured interviews, and fuzzy Delphi technique was used to reach a possible agreement between experts to eliminate possible biases. Findings showed that the components of political cognition, economic cognition, cultural and social cognition, behavioral cognition and belief cognition had an explanatory role in shaping students' cognitive performance. Thus, students can solve the problems about the Covid virus 19 by identifying cognitive function. Also, other research findings showed that the highest rank is related to behavioral cognition and the lowest rank is related to political cognition. Thus, in cognitive performance, students gained more behavioral cognition, and their least cognition was political cognition.
