This paper aimed to clarify the role of moral concepts in elementary course curriculum. By qualitative content analysis, firstly, the moral concepts in textbooks are inductively determined and then sorted into more general categories. Then, according to fluency and integration in any class and also evolutionary arranging in the whole course, the vertical and horizontal organizations of these concepts are examined. The results showed that Persian books in all courses have the most fictions and the most moral concepts. Unfortunately arranging of concepts in those books are not noticed and among fifteen moral concepts only “good behaving”, “loving humankind” and “effort” have the fluency and integrity factors, qualitatively or quantitatively. The other concepts, not in the repetition, nor in the arrangement, have an appropriate organization in different courses.

: Flourishing students' artistic capacities is among the major missions of education in the Document of Fundamental Reform. The five axes of artistic education including communication with nature, aesthetics, artistic production, familiarity with cultural and artistic history and heritage, and artistic criticism, along with the content structure of culture and art textbooks including visual arts, calligraphy, traditional arts, vocal arts and performing arts are all issues that should be considered by planners in developing potential human abilities. This study involved the content analysis of the culture and art textbooks of the junior secondary system in 2015-2016. Images, texts, and activities were taken as the unit of record. The encoding method was deductive following the topical and structural aspects of culture and art education. To validate the encoding process, a second rater encoded 10 percent of the content, indicating a correlation of 0.89. The results revealed that artistic production, aesthetics, artistic criticism, familiarity with cultural and artistic history and heritage and communicating with nature are the most significant aspects of artistic education respectively. Additionally, visual arts, traditional arts, calligraphy, vocal arts, and performing arts are the main priorities. The study of the 3D model of curriculum structure showed the application of all three activity types (prescriptive, semi-prescriptive and non-prescriptive) in the textbooks, but their content needs to be reviewed regarding the coordination of activities with the educational content presented, the form of content integration, balance and diversity, and the lack of raising students’ motivation and creativity.

The purpose of this study was to examine multicultural education in the content of Farsi textbooks of elementary education in Iran.This research was conducted within a qualitative framework and the qualitative content analysis method was used with a conventional (inductive) approach. The sampling method was purposeful and the sample included Farsi textbooks of all the grades of elementary education. The unit of analysis (record) was the theme, pictures and units of the textbooks. To determine the reliability of the qualitative content analysis method with the inductive approach, the review was conducted in two stages, one after completion of 10-50% of the categorizations and the other at the end of the research. Five categories were extracted as the result: introducing and paying attention to mother tongue of ethnoses; introducing celebrities; reflection of dressing style of ethnoses; cultural traditions of ethnoses and introducing cultural heritage. The analysis of the quality of the books showed that only the trace of dominant culture in the textbooks was observed. The findings show that the educational system seemingly seeks to implement a pattern of cultural assimilation that leads to the suppression of the languages and cultures of the Iranian minorities. This approach could bring about negative and reverse effects, and increase the awareness of the people of their identity and history and culture.

In this research we investigated female elementary students’ level of mastery over science and mathematics content and explained the nature of relationship between students’ level of mastery and learnability of content in science and mathematics. 914 female students of public senior elementary schools in Kashan were recruited. The needed data for fourth and fifth graders were gathered through researcher-made tests; the data related to sixth graders were gathered through standard exams taken from the students of this grade in the end of semester. Content validity of tests was verified by connoisseur teachers in each grade and was confirmed by structural equation modelling. For explaining the quantitative findings, we implemented 9 interviews with experienced and expert teachers which were selected through purposeful sampling method. The main analysis revealed that students learning is significantly lower than the mastery level in almost half of the science syllabus and all of the mathematics syllabus.

Main purpose of current study is Content analysis of mathematics textbooks in primary and secondary school in terms of the amount of activities which designed based on problem-posing approach. Type of this research is qualitative and mathematics textbooks in grades 1-9 which published in 1398 school year were considered as statistical population. In this regard, firstly, the key words that confirm the problem-posing were identified, then the situations were identified in the textbook, and finally the situations were categorized   according to theoretical framework from literature. Finding of this research shows that there are only 40 problem-posing situations in these mathematics textbooks which 60 percent of them appeared in the second three years of primary school textbooks. Moreover 67.5 percent of these problem posing situation have semi-structured context. Comparison between the number of problem-posing activities and problem-solving activities in mathematics textbooks show that textbooks writers had little attention to problem-posing activities.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the educational activities of the preschool mathematics books regarding geometric shapes using documentary method. For the analysis, we used the document published in 1396 (2017) by the Ministry of Education in Iran for preschool level., as well as the zero, first and second level of the revised Van Hiele Model (Clementes and Batista, 1992) including Pre-recognition, Syncretic and analysis as the criteria. At first level, 10 criteria for analyzing activities of geometry shapes from the first three levels of the revised Van Hiele Model (Clementes and Batista, 1992) exteracted. Then five textbooks which were recommended by Education Growth Bibliography, Welfare Organization and several preschool centers selected and their geometric shapes content evaluated according to the 10 extracted criteria. Results showed the highest frequency of educational activities belonged to level one and the lowest frequency beloged to zero level of the revised Van Hiele model. The study concluded that the content of the preschool mathematics books needs to be revised and the educational activities of higher level than two recommended to be transferred to higher grade mathematics textbooks.
