This research is of a mixed type (quantitative-qualitative) and has been carried out with the method of hierarchical analysis - the method of paired comparisons. In the qualitative phase, the investigated community consists of selected experts in the field of education who have gained valuable experiences in the field of transformational leadership of schools. The sampling method of the qualitative stage was theoretical saturation and 30 samples were selected. Through interviews with experts in the field of education, Data by content analysis method with coding (51 open codes as sub-indices and 9 selected codes as main indicators) were extracted. The reliability of the interviews was confirmed by a retest method with a score above 0.7%. A paired comparison questionnaire was prepared and completed by managers and related teachers. In the quantitative phase, the validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts and its reliability was obtained by Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.74, which indicates its reliability. Expert Choice software was used to analyze the questionnaire data. The study showed that among the first level indicators, the indicators of facilitation in planning and education, strategy-oriented and self-management are the most preferred with weighted values of 0.582, 0.485 and 0.399 respectively are more important. Also, among the influencing sub-indices, sub-indices of flexibility of training programs (0.217), skills and abilities of managers (0.175), creating a link between resource strategies human and the school strategies (0.152), curriculum planning (0.141), process orientation (0.128), use of educational technologies (0.118), development of technology-based educational facilities (0.102) ), continuous follow-up of school problems and challenges (0.082) and formulation of short-term and long-term plans for the organization (0.067) respectively have the highest weight values and are more important. To create transformational management in their organization, secondary schools should focus on the flexibility of educational programs, skills and capabilities of managers, the link between human resource strategies and school strategies, curriculum planning, process orientation and the use of technologies. Also, they should plan in the development of technology-based educational facilities, continuous follow-up of school problems and challenges, and formulation of short-term and long-term organizational plans.

The study focuses on the "function" chapter of two textbooks: "Mathematics (1) 10th grade of the second high school Period" published in 2020 and "Mathematics (3) and (4) of the second year of the New secondary education system" published in 1997. The statistical population of the research consists of mathematics teachers who have taught the two mentioned textbooks, and the sample was selected non-randomly from available mathematics teachers and educational leaders. To begin, the content of the textbooks was analyzed using a quantitative method based on John Dewey's "educational pragmatism" theory. A total of 87 completed questionnaires designed as a Likert scale were analyzed and the questionnaire was adapted from Jarrah et al.'s research and localized. The reliability of the questionnaire was verified using Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.86. Following this, a qualitative method was used, in which a five-person expert group analyzed the contents of the chapters of the two textbooks under the four dimensions of pragmatism: usefulness, interest, experience, and integration. The expert group coded the results. The joint analysis of the questionnaire and coding showed that the textbook published in 2020 had a more favorable situation in terms of the components and dimensions of pragmatism compared to the textbook published in 1997. Finally, suggestions for future editions of the textbook are presented, with an emphasis on the experience dimension. Manuscript profile -

The method of this descriptive research was content analysis and the Shannon entropy method was used to analyze the data. The analyzed sources were three volumes of Persian textbooks of the first secondary school in the academic year of 2021-2022 and the research tool was the content analysis checklist based on the components of caring thinking from Lipman's point of view, the validity of which was verified by five education experts. The findings of the research showed that in the Persian books of secondary school, the highest importance coefficient in terms of attention to the components of care thinking is related to the eighthgrade book (0.336) and the lowest importance coefficient is related to the ninth grade (0.329). Also, in Persian books of secondary school, the component of appreciative thinking has the highest information load (0.99) and the importance coefficient (0.20), and the component of affective thinking has the lowest information load (0.95) and the coefficient of importance (0.19) they have dedicated themselves. Therefore, according to the insignificant difference in the information load and the importance factor between the books and the components, it can be said that the content of these books has been balanced to some extent, and considering the important role of caring thinking in the life of students, it is suggested while revising the content of Persian books of secondary school, they should pay more attention to this issue.
