Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify the factors affecting the prolongation in the years of graduate students’ study and the consequences of this educational phenomenon.
Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted with the aim of identifying the factors affecting the increase in the academic years of postgraduate students and the consequences of this educational phenomenon. In this research, the qualitative method of theme analysis has been used. The statistical population of the study included postgraduate students with additional years of study, their supervisors, department heads and educational assistants of the faculties, from which 33 people were selected using purposive sampling method. In order to collect research data, three tools of interviewing, reviewing documents and reviewing the text of students' applications have been used. In the document review section, the files of the applicants for obtaining years in the Special Cases Commission from 12/15/94 to 3/27/96 were examined in a total number of 3224 cases. In order to analyze the data, after familiarizing with the data, primary codes were created and by searching and recognizing the themes, the network of themes was drawn and analyzed and then its report was compiled and presented in the form of a comprehensive classification. The validity and reliability of the data were checked by the members through the control method. The findings of the interviews identified two categories of extra-systemic and intra-systemic factors, which include a total of 28 causes.
Discussion and Conclusion: Extra-systemic factors in three categories of socio-economic, individual-family factors and extracurricular concerns and intra-systemic factors in four categories of unprofessional behavior of professors, dissertation writing problems, lack of training courses and scientific weakness Students and the weakness of the educational process and system were divided. Also, in reviewing the documents, 18 reasons were identified as the factor of prolonging the years, the most important of which were the executive problems of dissertations and dissertations, their illness and relatives, and the length of the approval process. 19 solutions were identified to improve this phenomenon, which are also presented in three categories: improving the quality of courses and aligning with the dissertation / dissertation, improving the educational and scientific process, and facilitating the dissertation / dissertation process. What is concluded is that the extension of the years of students with disabilities is due to several factors, some of which are at the disposal of the university and some of which are outside the university system and are affected by economic and social issues. From a systemic point of view, by solving these challenges, it is possible to reduce the number of academic years and improve the quality.

For this purpose, the post- phenomenological method has been used to determine the Amplification and Reduction of education in Shad. The results show that educating in Shad, despite some advantages, such as more freedom and easier access at different times and places, can lead to specific experiences and behaviors different from face-to-face education. Virtual education can lead to reduced-complete-perception, presented as the optimal grip in this research. The type of relationship between teacher and students and among students are completely changed and reduced. Some undesirable behaviors such as secrecy, irresponsibility, and undermining social education are some examples.

Abstract
This study aim was Investigation and analysis the status of the trans-disciplinary approach STEM in the school curriculum The research method is "conceptual analysis" which aims to provide a clear explanation of the meaning of a concept by carefully explaining its relationship to other concepts. STEM's trans-disciplinary Approach is a strategic learning curriculum that removes traditional barriers between the four disciplines and integrates them with real-time, real-world scrutiny. According to the findings of the present study, it can be argued that the outlook and program of the STEM trans-disciplinary approach show how the STEM framework is set, how it will improve performance and training, and how teachers are expected to work together. To plan their curriculum, how teachers are supported to learn so they can cover their curricula with communication, community, and industry. The results of this study showed that a comprehensive approach to STEM education can, with the support and coverage of the elements involved, govern continuous and effective teaching of STEM in schools, but achieving it requires careful planning and assistance from educators. In this regard, the promotion of collective micro-culture in the preparation of educational programs for teachers and attention to the mentality of teachers and external variables in teaching should be given special attention.

Abstract
Knowledge has two explicit and tacit parts. The field of teaching and learning is traditionally based on explicit knowledge teachings and emphasized the important role of propositional knowledge for the explicit and universal expression of knowledge. But tacit knowledge with the three main characteristics of inarticulate, breaking rules and context oriented are the exact opposite of explicit knowledge. On the other hand, Wittgenstein's attitude in the second half of his intellectual life about the functional role of language and its relation to human thought has had a very important impact on the views of the philosophy of education, especially the field of teaching and learning. Combining functional-language approach with tacit knowledge theory in teaching and learning has led to the formation of a model of teaching as tacit teaching which has different dimensions and applications than the previous approach. Wittgenstein's view of education and teaching experience is one of the most important components of this kind of teaching model. The purpose of this paper is to show the relationship between the main components of the teaching of implicit teaching and Wittgenstein's teachings in the philosophical investigation. To achieve this, the method of qualitative analysis with a linguistic analysis approach has been used to study Wittgenstein's works and the theories on tacit knowledge of the subject.
