Abstract
The emergence of re-conceptualism in the field of curriculum studies caused a large rotation of identity in this field. The book titled "understanding of curriculum" by William Pinar may be considered the most outstanding work in the field. In this book, movement which affected pre re-conceptualist, are introduced as the traditional type and it is believed the new curriculum discourses should be considered instead. That caused Joseph Schwab's theory is charged in the group of traditional pre re-conceptualist theories. This paper, by analyzing and identifying differences of Tyler's theory, Schwab's theory and re-conceptualism, plans to criticize this way of thinking and tries to introduce a new explanation of curriculum studies field as a practical one based on the role of Schwab's theory in the evolution of history of curriculum studies field.

Abstract
The aim of the present study is to design and validate the narrative inquiry curriculum for professional development of student-teachers in Farhangian university. The model of narrative inquiry curriculum is grounded on the theories of Dewey, Bruner, Schwab, Vygotsky, Donald Schön, Clandinin and Connelly. In this model, learning is a reflective practice and experience-based practice. The student- teachers make sense meaning through thinking and reflection on self-experiences of themselves and the experiences of others; They actively learn, acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes through narratives and enhance their professional development. In this study, two main questions were addressed: 1.) What characteristics have a model of narrative inquiry curriculum for professional development of student- teachers? 2.) Is this the model is validated? To answer those questions, a descriptive-analytical method was employed. The model was designed and validated by 20 curriculum experts and teacher- educators. A high percentage of professionalsthe experts, assessed the model and its different parts of it as appropriate.

Abstract
The present study seeks to rethink the role of the teacher in the teaching-learning process according to the complexity theory. First, the role of the teacher is explained in the traditional vision of Comenius and Dewey's critical insight and then the role of the teacher is discussed in the complexity theory. Then, the teacher’s image as an emergence facilitator is suggested instead of their image as a representer. In this way, the facilitator role, as recommended by the complexity theory, involves creating a context for participation along with engagement and attention, hermeneutic listening, using imagination and improvising, the emergence of different interpretations, and the non-linear, unpredictable, self-regulated, and common knowledge and awareness. From this viewpoint, facilitating and learning which are considered as simultaneous and continuous and are not limited to teacher or learners, could establish a context for the emergence of common knowledge at the classroom level.

Abstract
number of postgraduate students has been growing exponentially in Iran in the last two decades. That is while the number of faculty has not increased proportionally to keep up with the fast growth. Hence, the student-faculty ratio has widened, turning thesis and dissertations into chaotic scene. Accordingly, this paper aims at uncovering how Iranian professors supervise postgraduate research projects in such a complex unprecedented context. The research participants are 45 postgraduate students who were selected purposively by criterion sampling strategy and interviewed by informal and in-depth techniques. Methodologically, the research may be deemed as grounded theory with emergent design (proposed by Charmaz). Thus, the data were analyzed at two levels, namely initial and focused (secondary) coding, and a quadripartite typology emerged consequently

Abstract
The concept of “synergy” initially emerged in bioscience and management science accordingly followed by its success in behavioral, social, political and relation science, synergy was applied in curriculum development. The concept of synergistic curriculum was formed which covers curriculum in a wider aspect. The so-called consept provides school educationalists with opportunities to put curriculum concept into practice which go beyond the conventional curriculum. The synergistic curriculum focuses on two sections of the curriculum: The silent and talking curriculum. The present article elaborate these points as well as the achivments of synergistic curriculum.

Abstract
Curriculum theorizing is the methodology of the theory development. We recognize, two approaches to curriculum theorizing; explanation and understanding. Explanation resemble the processes of theorizing like natural scientist does and understanding is an approach to theorizing with its personal engagement consideration, uniqueness evolve from the complexity of and unrepeatable educational phenomena. In this article, two main ideas, objectivism-reductionism, subjectivism-mystrianism and a branch of the second idea so called; conceptualism are examined. It is argued that all three ideas are corresponding with the explanation or understanding and so their deficiency in human life is determined. It is argued that neurophenomenology could be considered as a remedy for the fragmental deficiency and incompetence of the current dominant positions in curriculum theorizing. We called the neurophenomenology inspired theorizing as; "understanding explanation" and explain it in reference to the Varrellas, Varela's methodology of reciprocal constraints.

Abstract
In this paper, I try to put forward a new model for curriculum evaluation, entitled ECCP (Evaluating Curriculum as a Complex Phenomenon), out of my perception of curriculum as a complex event. In the abovementioned model, various dimensions and aspects of curriculum (written, operationalized, experienced, tested, and flourished) are evaluated by three criteria (intended ideals, implicit elements, and overlooked aspects) which finally forms a 15-cell matrix. I firmly believe that evaluating and assessing curriculum as a complex phenomenon requires answers to the questions posed by each cell. It is also endorsed by the model that any evaluation plan ought to locate curriculum in context to offer meaningful results and findings.

Abstract
In order to fully understand the concept of fraction, all of its sub-constructs must be considered and interrelated. The purpose of this study is to examine the presence of these sub-constructs and their level of use in elementary mathematics textbooks in Iran. A content analysis study based on Kieren's sub-constructs framework with five categories, namely; part-whole, measurement, ratio, quotient, and operator, was conducted to analyze all 2-6 grades’ mathematics textbooks’ activities and problems in chapters related to the concept of fraction. The results of the analysis showed that the most used sub-constructs respectively are: Part-Whole (49%), Measurement (22%), Ratio (16%), Operator (11%), Quotient (1%). There is very little attention given to the sub-construct of ‘quotient’ in these textbooks. Moreover, the potential of some sub-constructs has not been fulfilled.
