Abstract: Two annual migrations of nomadic tribes have a large impact on school work and learning of students. This study is a qualitative case study and intends to examine the impact of a reduction in teaching time in nomadic schools. In order to assess the students’ absence from school each year due to two migrations and its negative effects, the researcher used mixed method research(Quantitative-Qualitative) to thoroughly study the phenomenon and to collect data during the two academic years (2011/2010 and 2012/2011). The study sample consists of students of a nomadic school where the researcher has worked as a teacher. The results indicate that the annual migration of nomadic tribes is the cause of decrease in training time by 34% (55 days from 160 days) and subsequently leads to disruption of school planning, hastily teaching of the contents, and not completion of textbook by the end of the school year.

Abstract
The present study is part of a bigger research project and its purpose was to investigate the influencing factors on integrating professional learning of secondary mathematics teachers with the ways in which they analyze, interpret and make decisions regarding their teaching. For the fine-grained analysis of the first layer of data, phenomenography method was used. Nine teachers were interviewed and based on the three main categories of “the presence of mathematics teachers’ educators as leading teachers’ groups”, “being familiar with various teaching methods and modify them according to personal characteristics of teacher, school and classroom” and “professional training of the cooperative group form” that were emerged in the bigger study. With the further analysis of the interviews, three sub- categories were shaped as well. They included “focusing on the specific goals and content in cooperative groups”, “considering mathematics teachers as adult learners not school students” and “the existence of common concerns between group members.

Abstract
Entrepreneurship education (EE) is a fast growing field; despite of this, the content and teaching strategies are vague. This paper collected the studies on goals, content, teaching and evaluation approaches of EE, and by synthesizing them, provided an appropriate compound of them. The criteria for selecting the studies were examination one or more of mentioned components among 2000-2016. Findings of each component have been discussed and by synthesizing them, the final conclusion has been approved. According to this study, EE goals in elementary level include familiarizing with basic concepts, motivation, interest and entrepreneurial spirit. The secondary level objectives are promotion of entrepreneurial skills and competencies. Content is developed based on goals, and is integrated in three first years, and then is delivered in both integration and discrete. Active teaching strategies, especially induction and intuition, are appropriate. The authentic evaluation methods and formative evaluation approches are more fit with entrepreneurship nature.

transdisciplinary Studies are about the realms, goals, and goals of the transition field. The early phases of transdisciplinary in higher education curriculum can be complex and so there are challenges to the definition and operationalization this approach to the university curriculum. In this paper, in respect to the different perspectives on the subject, the conceptual framework and the model of the curriculum based on the causal layered learning are explained and the challenges and obligations of the subject are conceptualized based on four different types of curricular issues: Philosophical and pedagogical considerations, issues and responsibilities affecting the teaching process, issues and responsibilities affecting students learning, issues and responsibilities affecting course design and issues and responsibilities affecting learning assessment.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to design a STEM project-based curriculum model in primary school based on synthesis method. The statistical population included all valid scientific researches related to the subject that by regular searches in databases and based on inclusion and exclusion criteria 67 researches were selected for final review. A researcher-designed worksheet form was used to collect, record and report the initial research data. Findings were analyzed using Hurd (1983) seven-step model and open and axial coding method. To confirm the reliability, the Cohen's kappa coefficient formula was used, which was 79% of the agreement between the evaluators. Research findings show that the STEM project-based curriculum is a student-centered curriculum that defines a completely different role from the traditional curriculum elements in all curriculum elements.

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to design a personalized lesson plan based on conceptual art in elementary school. From the point of view of conceptual art (from postmodern arts), educationand curriculum is a completely personal and situational matter. Using synthetic research method, the ideas and sources related to conceptual art were examined and the nine main categories of conceptual art identified included: social, political and cultural issues / critical approach / multicultural / creativity / audience interaction / global and indigenous dimension / biological issues Environmental / Variety in media technique. To realize a personalized curriculum, the concepts are: "style, how, level, content, teaching strategy and method, media, evaluation, time and place."

Abstract The main purpose of the study is to design a valid model for the problem-oriented curriculum in elementary mathematics. The research approach is quantitative. In designing the model, which was done by structural-interpretive modeling method, 19 specialists of curriculum planning and mathematical education of Arak city participated. To determine the validity, with the method of partial least squares, the designed model in the form of a researcher-made questionnaire was provided to 355 specialists by random sampling method. By identifying the components of objectives in three levels of cognition, attitude, skill and curriculum content, method and evaluation of the problem-oriented curriculum model were designed and validated.. Findings showed that the characteristics of objectives in level "cognitive" and "attitude" are considered as the underlying components of the problem-oriented curriculum model in mathematics and affect the characteristics of objectives at the skill level. Skills characteristics also affect curriculum content characteristics, method, and evaluation.

The main purpose of the present study is to develop a practical guide to the integrated curriculum of the third grade of elementary school. The research approach was qualitative (qualitative content analysis method) and the research community was all third grade elementary textbooks and teacher teaching guides of each book. The theme-based integrated curriculum approach (concept-based and skill-based) was chosen. Concepts and skills were extracted from the textbooks and the objectives of each lesson were extracted from the teacher's teaching guides and coded at the same time. Codes that had a common theme were placed in one category and formed the combined themes of the curriculum. 192 initial codes were obtained. After classification, 106categories were obtained and finally, 14 combined themes were formed.
