Purpose: The purpose of the present research was to provide a model for documenting the experiences of teachers in order to improve the quality of mathematics curriculum in schools. Methods: To conduct the research, the method of Foundation Data Theory (GT) was used, and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. The research community included specialized teachers and experts in the field of mathematics teaching at the elementary level working in Ahvaz schools. After interviewing 10 experts from the study community, who were identified as a snowball, theoretical saturation was achieved, and due to the certainty of the findings, three more interviews were conducted, which did not result in new findings. After the interviews were implemented and converted into written text, they were analyzed using the systematic coding model of Glaser and Strauss (open, central and selective). The research findings were summarized in seven core codes including management and leadership, teaching and its methods, communication and interaction, content and educational materials, students and learning, development of abilities and resources and facilities. Findings: The results of the research showed that considering the importance of improving the quality of mathematics curriculum in elementary schools, providing a model for documenting teachers' experiences can be a powerful tool for improving the curriculum and the teaching and learning process. This model can help teachers improve their experiences and get more out of the material they teach in their classrooms. Conclusion: These experiences help to adapt the curriculum to the special needs of students and lead to the development of effective and transparent teaching methods. Manuscript profile

Purpose: This research seeks to recognize Challenges of Tadbir Plan currently executed in elementary schools. Method: This is a qualitative research using grounded theory approach. The population of the study comprises experts in educational management, curriculum planning, and specialists of elementary schools in Iran who are familiar with Tadbir Plan. The participants were selected through purposive criterion-based sampling. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Open, axial, and selective coding were used for data analysis. The validity and reliability were measured using Lincoln and Guba criteria. Findings: The results suggested 25 central concepts and eight selected items, which were organized in a paradigmatic model including poor plan orientation and self-assessment in schools as central items and the causal conditions (lack of cooperation and participation of agents of the plan, poor management in schools, directive-orientation and quantity-orientation education), contextual factors (lack of supportive atmosphere, poor teamwork culture, poor technological structures, centralized educational structure), facilitative intervention conditions (personal characteristics, organizational characteristics, and legal requirements), restrictive intervention conditions (intra-organizational and inter-organizational obstacles), and strategies (improving the organizational culture and school atmosphere, changing attitudes of policymakers regarding personal development of principals, teachers, and decentralization). Conclusion: Paying attention to the Tadbir plan and its basis provides the professional growth of managers. In the implementation of plans such as Tadbir, attention should be paid to the local approaches of schools. Collaborative approaches should be used in the implementation of the Tadbir plan in schools; Selection of specialized and trained managers for schools should be considered and required; more attention should be paid to the approaches of succession and mentoring in the training of school administrators.

The present study is a documentary study; the demographic data required for this study has been acquired by statistical data from the recent census of population and Housing as well as information regarding education (students, teachers and educational buildings) using the statistics provided by Dehloran education office. Then, the statistics were classified and adjusted in the researcher made information. To compare and rank the amount to which different areas and regions (rural or urban) benefit from elementary education, indicators and formulas for educational planning such as the index of region selection, Gini coefficient, Lorenz curve, and benefit levels chart were used. Moreover, in order to determine the educational inequalities, the data was analyzed using enrollment fees and the actual educational coverage, the ratio of students to teachers, utilization coefficient of educational spaces, and rates of the educational efficiency. The results of this study indicate that there is not a proper balance among different regions and areas (weather urban or rural) of Dehloran in terms of benefited educational opportunities. In terms of enrollment fees and educational coverage as well as access to elementary school teachers, urban areas as compared with rural areas and boys as compared with girls are at a higher level. Urban areas have more access to educational spaces compared to rural areas. As for the rates of educational efficiency, girls and urban areas are superior to boys and rural areas, respectively.  Manuscript profile

Considering the role of entrepreneurship in the education system, it is necessary to have a model in this field for elementary school students. This study is descriptive-survey type. The statistical population of this research includes all principals, assistants, experts, and primary school teachers in Bandar Mahshahr city in 2018-2019, whose number is 754, and 255 people were selected as a sample by simple random sampling method. In order to measure the research variables, a researcher-made questionnaire was used. The content validity of the questionnaires has been confirmed by experts. The reliability of the questionnaires was estimated based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient on the dimensions of each variable. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics methods were used for analysis. The findings showed that causal conditions (teachers, teaching methods, textbooks, students) have a positive effect on the development of entrepreneurial abilities. Also, background conditions (facilities and equipment, entrepreneurial culture, organizational atmosphere) have a significant effect on entrepreneurial capabilities strategies, but entrepreneurial culture does not have a significant impact on entrepreneurial capabilities strategies. 24 SPSS and Smart PLS statistical software were used to analyze the data.The results showed the effect of intervening conditions (economic sanctions, laws and regulations, government support, structure) on entrepreneurial capabilities strategies.
