Abstract
The main purpose of this study is "critical discourse analysis" of "female gender identity" in the official documents of education of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its consequences in the formal female gender education. Materials and Methods: Among the quantitative and qualitative methods in social research, in the present study, the qualitative method and the approach of "critical discourse analysis" have been used. In fact, the present study attempts to use "critical discourse analysis" of official education documents to examine whether there are any indications of the dominance of a particular discourse regarding women's gender identity in these documents: In order to achieve the objectives of the research, five official documents of education of the Islamic Republic of Iran were selected as a sample. Denial of conscious agency (despite its constructive role in discourses); Ambiguity; Semantic obstruction, formation of potentially conflicting semantic fragments, potential and sometimes actual hegemonic conflicts and interferences with informal discourse order, ambiguous patterns born of erroneous equivalence logic and then differences, etc. were evident in the construction of female gender identity. Conclusion: Identity crisis as an undeniable consequence of the discourse fluctuation of documents - failure to clarify the proposition of "gender identity" - in line with the prescriptive policies of its compilers. In other words, the domination of marginal discourse " "Otherness" is done; An event that, with the consequence of the possibility and instability of discourses in the conditions of discourse faltering, will lead to unrest and deconstruction, and ultimately the domination of rival discourse.

Therefore first,the conceptual analysis of the texts of kant’s thoughts with the context of existence, knowledge, human, value was done, and then by using the concepts and categories related to them, finally,a list of goals, principles and methods was deduced based on rational foundations witch are based on the ontology of experimental,sensory and intellectual educational methods and based on the knowledge of the methods and based on the knowledge of the methods to answer the questions of what can I know? What should I know? What hope can I have? what is man? The process of analysis takes place and in the answer to the fourth question, human nature is linked to its social aspects such as education, especially one of the foundations of values of moral duty which is the source of reason,and on the one hand, due to his pragmatic point of view,the components are tried fundamentals of kant’s educational methods such as previous knowledge, presuppositions,analogy, deletion, addition, interpretation in the shade of anthropology should be examined, and finally, the model of proposed models for the perception of cognitive and educational construction has been discussed.

Abstract
The aim of the current research is to identify the regimes of truth and effective factors in the discourse formations that shape power-knowledge relations in the teacher training of Iran from the establishment of Dar al-Funun to Farahgian University. For this purpose, by using Foucault's genealogical method and its related hypothesis, it has been analyzed and examined the events in the historical developments of teacher education in Iran that have led to the formation of regimes of truth as the dominant discourse in teacher education. The findings show that in different periods, different discourses such as "educated Mullah", "literate teacher", "expert and literate teacher" and "expert nationalist teacher" as regimes of truth have shaped such discourses and these discourses with changes in the social and political context of the society and with the emergence of new needs, they have been changed and transformed. For example, with the advent of the Islamic revolution, the discourse of "Islamic and revolutionary teacher" is considered as a prominent discourse of truth in teacher education. With this analysis, it is acknowledged that with political and social changes in the course of historical developments of education and training, regimes of truth have replaced past regimes of truth and have led to the rejection or weakening of previous discourses in the teacher training system. Therefore, such a turn in the regimes of truth is caused by power and knowledge relations, which has led to such discourses.

Abstract
Education for thinking requires care in how we think, which is called caring thinking. This thinking combines feeling and rationality and helps children develop a sound value system. Despite the growing importance of caring thinking and the need for content to teach it, there is a shortage of suitable materials and a lack of attention to this aspect of philosophical thought. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the book "A Collection of Philosophical Stories for Iranian Children" based on the components of caring thinking for use in philosophical inquiry circles. The stories in this book and the suggested exercises at the end are analyzed based on the presence or absence of components of caring thinking (appreciative thinking, emotional thinking, normative thinking, active thinking, and empathetic thinking). This research uses comparative content analysis and purposive sampling. The findings showed that although some stories in the analyzed book did not address the components of caring thinking, the presence of these components was evident in most stories. Normative, emotional, and appreciative thinking components showed a suitable and rich presence, while active and empathetic thinking components were less rich compared to the others. Therefore, using these stories in philosophical inquiry circles can help strengthen and develop caring thinking in children.

This research was applied in terms of purpose and in terms of quasi -experimental method with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the research includes all female students aged 10 to 13 in Tehran in the academic year 1402-1403, of which 32 people were selected as a statistical sample using the available sampling method. Of these, 16 people were randomly included in the experimental group and 16 in the control group. Ricketts' critical thinking questionnaire (2003), Jinks and Morgan's academic self-efficacy questionnaire (1999) and King's spiritual intelligence questionnaire (2008) were used to collect data. Data analysis was done through covariance test and SPSS software version 26. The findings of this research showed that teaching philosophy for children according to the size of the effect (0.617) on critical thinking and its components and the effect (0.706) on academic efficiency and its components and according to the size the effect (0.657) has a significant effect on spiritual intelligence and its components. Therefore, it can be concluded that teaching philosophy for children by strengthening thinking skills and developing inner awareness improves and strengthens critical thinking skills, academic self-efficacy and spiritual growth in students.
