In fact, the null curriculum refers to the deleted and ignored parts of a curriculum. In this study, we tried to analyze the null curriculum and identify the factors that led to the null curriculum at schools. The null curriculum occurs in three levels: Some parts of the content of textbooks are deleted or added by policy makers, writers or politicians, due to the mismatch between the needs of students and society. Some parts of the content of the curriculum are neglected by staff and teachers in schools. Finally, some parts of the content of textbooks are omitted by the students that not connected with their real life. The main objective of this research is to provide a theoretical perspective on the three levels of the null curriculum based on governing system in society, schools and students.

This concept has avoided looking at the curriculum as a superficial phenomenon, and considered it at the implementation level with tracking its dynamics. However, Phillip Jackson initially introduced it in 1968 the concept has drawn massive attention from curriculum theorists in the recent decades, each exploring it from an exclusive vantage point. Nowadays, journals can attest to thousands of papers and books published in this regard. On the one hand, this variation of perspectives has enriched theoretical foundation of the "hidden curriculum", while on the other one making it difficult to understand by others. In this article, it has been tried to provide a holistic image of the nature, levels and dimensions of this concept through exploring the related literature. To this end, valid international and internal writings were analyzed (thematic analysis) based on the following questions and a meta-theory emerged through common characteristics: What is the nature of hidden curriculum? What are its functions? Who cannot see this curriculum? What factors shape this phenomenon? What are the consequences of hidden curriculum? At what levels this curriculum is effective? The theories can be divided into six categories: nature-based theories, functional theories, dimensional theories, factorial theories, consequential theories and level-based theories.

Seyed Hossein Ebadi, Ph.D student of curriculum planning, Azad Islamic univ., Khorasgan, Isfahan, Iran (ebadi.hossein@yahoo.com) ABSTRACT Hidden curriculum concerns implicit learnings and the factors affecting the emergence of the said learnings which students experience as a result of attending school. The essence of the present paper is the systematic review of those scientific-investigative articles carrying the title of hidden curriculum and which are products of Iranian researchers' endeavors within the last two decades (1991-2012). 19 papers in this regard, made available through domestic and international data bases and profiled domestic magazines were included in this investigation for an examination of their full texts (no sampling applied). The present review study aims at determining the most important educational influences raised from hidden curricula and providing applicable solutions towards optimal employment of positive consequences and avoidance from negative ones. Findings indicate the dominance of negative consequences over positive educational outcomes in various dimensions of hidden curriculum (school structure, social context of educational system and teacher-student interaction) in Iranian schools. This implies the necessity of serious consideration of solutions presented herein in order to prevent the replacement of the opportunity raised by the hidden curriculum with the challenges resulted from it within the school.

These words have defined five positions in discussing about teaching and learning in the modern world. The words are including: mind, democracy, oppression, socialization, anecdotes and stories. The first three terms are respectively associated with the names of Frederick Herbart, Dewey and Paulo Frère, that have been raised in the United States, Latin America and Africa. Socialization by using the knowledge tool is relevant to Marxism, which has been interpreted mainly in Brazil, France and Italy. The term of stories and anecdotes is also used by different people in different parts of the world and is the term considered by proponents of modern pragmatism. Many experts believe that perhaps the most significant development in American philosophy in the recent times could be the renaissance in pragmatism or the neo-pragmatism. Due to the raised cases, the main purpose of this article was the evaluation of educational theory and curriculum approach from the perspective of the modern pragmatism. The study was a cross-sectional research. Previous studies have shown that the foundations of modern pragmatism should be searched among the ideas of people such as Rorty, Quien, Pathnam, Bernestien, West, Davidson, Dewey, Shusterman and Brandon. Neo-pragmatism emphasizes on principles such as rejection of fundamental epistemology, language, uity of knowledge, social cohesion instead of pure objectivity and education for democratic wise citizen. From the perspective of neo-pragmatism, an educational theory should be practical with three features, descriptive, explanatory and specific. They have been mentioned five steps for training including the anecdote, linking an anecdote with the issues of life, creating new anecdote, reviewing the story and comparing it with national and collective stories. They have introduced the best curricula approach for pre-university as an integrated approach and project-based approach for the time after the university. Manuscript profile -

The aim of this article is to study and compare the efforts made by curriculum planners in different universities around the world for the internationalization of the higher education. This comparative – analytical study investigates different approaches for the internationalization of curriculum of the higher education (including strategies, programs, activities and methods of teaching and learning) in countries like the United States of America, Canada, Australia, and Japan. Findings include strategies, programs, activities for internationalization of higher education curriculum learning and teaching methods in each country. Comparison of four strategies of the United States, Canada, Australia, and Japan showed that internationalizing the curriculum and learning strategies by embedding international content into their existing curricula is their most important strategy and teacher and student exchange programs receive less attention.

These elements are of seven types as: Human Right and Democracy, Cooperation and Solidarity, Preservation of Cultures, Self and others, Internationalism, Protection of the Environment and Spirituality. The present study is one of descriptive and content analysis type. The data-collection tools in the first part include checklist. In second part teacher behavior observation checklist was used which was researcher-made checklist and its validity and reliability have been confirmed. The research sample, in the first part, includes all the contents of Social science, Persian literature, and Theology and History books in the three grades of junior high school. In the second part, based on stratified random sampling, 60 social science classes in Uremia schools were chosen for the study. For the content analysis, Shannon Entropy Method is used and descriptive and inferential statistics of T-test and variance analysis are used to analyze the implemented curriculum data. The results in content analysis part show that UNESCO peace education elements, in the above –mentioned books, are not, too much, taken into account. The most field of attention is on Cooperation and Solidarity elements which are most frequent in Social science books and least frequent in History books. The least attention, however, is paid to democracy and nature protection which in social and religious books, it is possible to keep track of them but we cannot say the same for literature.

Definition of its limits and boundaries has been followed by many ups and downs. One of the basic foundations of curriculum is its philosophical foundations, which is like a guide light in response to the questions of ontology, epistemology and axiology. Among the great philosophers of education, there are ones who have comprehensively considered impression, objectives, principles, methods and the necessity of this important process. One of these great philosophers is Plato, the father of West's philosophy, and the other one is Farabi who is called the second teacher, as the father of Islamic philosophy. This study reviewed their educational approaches and opinions to define the components of curriculum. In order to achieve this important goal, the research method of qualitative content analysis has been used. Information collected using a library method and then analyzed through applying the inductive categorization system. The obtained results indicated that both of Farabi and Plato believed in education goals including physical, chimerical, moral, intellectual and social objectives. Plato's lesson contents are as follows: habituate children to play, develop physical strengths, literacy training, military training and teaching philosophy, literary material and dialectics. Farabi focuses on the content that directs the man towards cognition of the God, trust and following up the instructions and then leading to cognition of the man himself as the God's creature. According to Plato, the dialogue approach is the most important teaching method. Farabi focuses on the two persuasive and argumentative methods on teaching approach. Manuscript profile -

To achieve this goal, conceptual and critical analysis methods have been used. Foucault, as a postmodernist theorist, proposes a kind of education in which the issue of culture and justice is important. While criticizing power relations in educational systems, he has provided significant implications for multicultural education. In his view, the basis for education should be based on democratic and non-authoritarian methods, and the interests of the members and various components of society, including other cultures, should be taken into consideration. Foucault criticizes the textbooks as functions of history, society, and power, and believes that texts have always been used as tools of power. By examining Foucault's educational opinions, it can be admitted that his implications for educational and cultural justice will be. Nevertheless, criticisms can be made, such as the criticality of the revelation of reality, the emphasis on epistemological relativism, the divergence of education policies, the lack of presumptions in the discussion of discourse, and the lack of solutions to educational issues.

Tyler begin his research and academic career in an era in which many educators and teachers’ practice was based on unexamined and non-sophisticated beliefs. Hi managed to bridge between philosophical thoughts of great educators like Dewey and Herbart and practical concerns of experts like Thorndike, Charters and Bobbitt and successfully reduced his perceived gap between curriculum theory and practice. In this historical narrative, some of the Tyler’s insightful research findings, reflective beliefs, and areas of deliberation are explored, which could play a significant role in deeper understanding of his so-called rational-linear model. Some of the most noteworthy conclusions are mentioned as below: abstract instruction of mathematical operations is as effective as atomistic or behavioristic instruction of these operations; developing an authentic evaluation method is a very important task for true implementation of Dewey’s problem solving and Kilpatrick’s project method; formative evaluation is not for judging about student learning or teacher performance, but it’s for apprising the effectiveness of curriculum; the process of curriculum planning is not absolutely linear; and the purpose of evaluation is improving instruction and teachers’ coordination. In this historical inquiry Tyler’s participatory and realistic approach and his curiosity and efforts for reducing the gap between curriculum theory and practice are highlighted. Manuscript profile -

For this purpose, we address the conceptual and documentation analysis of this curriculum. Hence, using the research method of “regressive inference”, the foundations of the emergent curriculum have been deduced. Firstly, all instances of emergent curriculum were extracted from 60 valid national and international documents (including books, articles, written and electronic thesis) from 1994 to 2020. Then, the collected data were classified in three stages; including open coding, axial and selective data in order to analyze them. Approximately, 31 selective codes were recognized. In addition, the principles were inferred by use of the “progressive inference” method. Since, this research investigates the effective documents in order to understand the research problem, its employed sampling is considered purposeful. To validate the results, the coding steps were carefully reviewed about 10 times in interaction with curriculum planning and philosophy of education experts. The most important findings about nature are that emergent curriculum is a flexible, dynamic and multidimensional spiral phenomenon with different cross-sections. The main foundations are that child is a flexible creature with comprehensive dimensions, social identity, and unique talents. Knowledge is exploratory, dynamic and innovative and corresponding to children’s interests. Some of its basic principles include a holistic view of the child and attention to individual differences; providing the possibility of exploration; Relation to the phenomenon under study, hypothesizing.

For this reason, the existence of curriculum templates can help university professors and curriculum planners in designing and compiling curricula in a way and in making decisions. The model in the development of university curricula is interpreted as a detailed plan to achieve the goal. For this purpose, the present research has been conducted with the aim of examining the curriculum patterns of higher education in Iran. The above research has been done with a systematic literature review and qualitative content analysis technique (theme analysis) among sources and documents collected from scientific databases. The results of the research show that the focus of the researchers in providing models was mostly on Tyler's four elements and less on the nine and ten elements of the curriculum, and the macro dimensions of the curriculum in higher education have been neglected. Designing the proposed models (providing the framework) is one of the important activities of curriculum planners and decision makers, and university educations are also forced to design and implement the proposed models (determined frameworks) of the curriculum. But the focus of attention that researchers should pay more attention to is the extent of attention to the larger dimensions of the curriculum and not the elements and content of the curriculum.

In contrast to the authoritarianism that was posed in the modern and earlier years, dialectical and discursive methods have been endorsed by postmodernists, this method is well-known for the creative development that is important in the teaching of architecture. The purpose of this paper is to enhance the quality of learning of architecture education by utilizing postmodern teaching methods. This method seems to be much more suitable for teaching architecture and educating designers. The research method is a descriptive-analytical method, in addition to the description of postmodern education and programming, we have analyzed and explained methods for improving the quality of architecture education. Data collection is based on documents, literature and library studies. The theoretical framework was developed based on the theory of anti—authoritarian education and postmodern education. Finally, strategies to improve this are stated. The results of the article do not seek to define the overall structure in education, but by defining multiple structures in architecture education to increase flexibility and, of course, increase the quality of architecture education. By decentralizing the rules and changing the educational topics in different provinces and climates based on different construction methods, better architectural education is achieved. self-creation is one of the main goals of architecture that can be promoted in a postmodern way, decreasing the focus on the teacher's power and focusing more on the individual ability of students in architectural studios. The role of the teacher is visible as an expert and technician, and through this, the student gains a more complete knowledge of himself and his abilities and completes the path of creativity.

The research method was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of the study was made up of all the physical education teachers of the country (N=34000). The statistical sample was estimated to be 332 people using the Karjesi and Morgan table (n=332). The data needed to identify the components and analyze the measurement model were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire, after obtaining validity (face, content and structure) and validation. Cronbach's alpha method (α=0.91) was used to calculate the reliability of the instrument, and confirmatory factor analysis and structural equations were used to analyze the data. Examining and testing the structural equation model of the research showed that the general fit indicators are in a suitable and desirable condition. As the changes in the antecedents of the multicultural management of sports schools have a positive and significant effect on the management processes of sports schools. Also, multicultural management processes have a positive and significant effect on the consequences of multicultural management. In addition, the indirect effect of multicultural management antecedents on multicultural management messages was significant, and in this regard, multicultural management processes played a mediating role. Therefore, educational planning officials should pay more attention to multicultural schools in macro plans and policies. In order to empower and require human resources to develop multicultural management skills, pay more attention to in-service training and include multicultural concepts in the planning of new teachers.

283 - Reflection on the Iranian Academic General Curriculum in the Globalization Era

The present study aims to investigate the various areas of Global Citizenship Education (GCE) in the academic general curriculum in Iran. This is an applied research wherein, a qualitative content analysis method, the thematic analysis (themes), has been applied to the two levels of the selected documents (the law on the goals, duties, and organizations of the Ministry of Science, the comprehensive scientific map of Iran, and Iran''s sixth development plan) and syllabuses of the general courses approved by the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution. The data collection tools included content analysis, note-taking, and a checklist. A descriptive-analytic method was applied to interpret and analyze the data. Based on the research findings, the level of contents associated with globalization has a significant degree of severity and weakness from one course to another in terms of the qualitative aspect. It is certain that most of the contents related to the components of globalization often have indirect links and regarding the positive, negative, and neutral aspects, it can be claimed that the neutral aspect is of considerable significance compared to the other aspects. The qualitative content analysis of the documents and syllabuses of the general courses was done and subsequently, the obtained scheme indicates that the existing approach to the GCE in Iran is a combination of political and civic education approaches, cultural transfer, and the neo-liberal approach, and hence, the educational system should try to train global citizens with Iranian–Islamic identity. Among the important points in the analysis of the documents is a lack of distinction between globalization and internationalization. Manuscript profile -

(b) What are the dimensions and indicators of a multicultural curriculum of the senior secondary schools? This research is mixed in terms of the nature of the data and is organized in two parts: qualitative and quantitative. interviews were conducted with 18 experts in the curriculum to the point of saturation. Two-stage coding method has been used to extract the results of the interviews. The statistical population in the quantitative part included teachers from the five districts of Tabriz who taught in the senior secondary schools in the school year. In the analysis of quantitative data, statistical methods have been used to validate the characteristics of a multicultural curriculum (obtained from the first stage) using Cronbach's alpha methods, CVR coefficient calculation, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Our findings identified four general dimensions of "goals", "contents", "methods", and "educational principles" in developing a multicultural curriculum.in the component of multicultural goals in the current Iranian educational system, the average experimental score is significantly higher than the theoretical average. Thus, it is clear that the current system is in a good position for targeting multicultural education, but regarding the three dimensions of "contents", "methods", and "principles of multicultural curriculum", average achieved is near to the theoretical average. the level of attentionof these three dimensions in the current education system is currently in the average situation.

The research method employed was content analysis, and the statistical population consisted of previous studies and documents that were aligned with the criteria of the present research. A sample of 36 articles was selected for examination using purposive sampling. In this study, a qualitative approach was used to analyze the data based on the content analysis method, categorizing the data into fundamental themes, organizing themes, and overarching themes. All key points and important ideas related to the virtual mathematics curriculum for elementary education were identified as fundamental themes within three important domains: technology, teacher, and student. Subsequently, through the analysis of the primary data, co-grouping codes with similar concepts were combined, and organizing themes emerged. In the next stage, these themes were identified and determined as overarching themes in four components: objectives, content, teaching methods, and assessment methods for the virtual mathematics curriculum for elementary education. Finally, based on the identified organizing and overarching themes, a thematic network related to the topic of virtual mathematics education was depicted. According to the findings of the present research, focusing on the drawn thematic network can significantly contribute to identifying influential factors in the virtual mathematics curriculum and shedding light on its unknown dimensions.

Technology education or technology literacy is an educational program that assists people to have an understanding and ability in designing and using technology products and systems and assessing the appropriateness of technological actions. This research was conducted to analyze textbook contents with regard to technology literacy elements. The method was content analysis. The population included all textbooks in grades 1 to 9, and the sampling was purposeful in which 24 textbooks were selected and their content were analyzed by two teachers using 20 elements of technology literacy through separate coding. The data were first described in frequency tables and analyzed later. The findings showed that technology literacy elements of understanding the nature and effects of technology are presented insufficiently. Process skills development elements are presented to an acceptable extent but these processes were far from technological processes such as Designing and Troubleshooting which are technological in nature. Also, regarding technological fields, information technology was the dominant content including 3/4 of the content, and little was left to other fields. Therefore, in general, it can be concluded that the new national curriculum is potentially weak and insufficient to develop technology literacy in all its dimensions Manuscript profile -

One of the suitable and sure ways to solve this problem is to enable them to acquire job creating skills during their studies at University, this ability can prevent many problems and challenges. However, because of some problems and defects in the curricula of University and other higher education centers, students cannot acquire the skills in this regard. With regard to the importance of the problem, we have tried to investigate the shortcomings of the curricula of the different courses in the Bonab branch of Islamic Azad University from the viewpoints of the students and the academic staff. The result obtained from the analyzing of the collected data indicated that the curriculum of entrepreneurship lacks proper quality and is not capable of training competent, creative, and innovative entrepreneurs. Finally, on the basis of the scientific fundamentals in the field, we have suggested the curriculum of entrepreneurship to be implemented in Universities and higher educational centers.

Although potato farmers in Nyandarua County were trained on potato production technologies, their average yield was ≤16 tonnes per hectare compared to the national potential of 30 tonnes. This study therefore sought to determine the effectiveness of ATCs’ curriculum in promoting farmers’ adoption of selected potato production technologies in Nyandarua County in Kenya. A survey design was used. Primary data was collected from 136 farmers trained at ATCs on potato production using interview schedules. The respondents were sampled through a five-stage technique. The data was analysed using T-test and ANOVA, then summarized into percentages. Study results showed that adoption of recommended potato production technologies produced high yields compared to traditional technologies. It was therefore concluded that ATCs’ curriculum was effective in promoting farmers’ adoption of potato seed selection, planting, crop protection and harvesting technologies. It is recommended that ATCs’ curriculum prioritise demonstrations that show the influence of clean seed, fertilizer application, timely harvesting and spacing on potato yields. Further, campaigns should be held to educate farmers on the importance of potato dehaulming to promote its adoption. In addition, farmer-based seed production programs should be started in the County aimed at ensuring ready availability of seed. Manuscript profile -

The question of who should make curriculum decisions has been a central issue throughout the history of curriculum development. The first aim of the present article is to get acquainted with the decision-making structure in higher education curriculum design and also to find out whether it is better to centralize or decentralize by searching and reviewing articles from the most famous databases such as irandoc, cilivica, Jahad Daneshgahi database (SID), magiran, noormagz, Google, etc. The author introduces centralized and decentralized systems and examines their advantages and disadvantages in higher education planning and in the history of higher education in Iran and its developments in different periods, levels of decentralization of the curriculum, the position of participation of faculty members and important factors as well as barriers to their participation in the program development process. Finally, while expressing the challenges and solutions of decentralized planning, it has been concluded that complete transfer of decision-making power will not be a good solution to meet the existing needs, but a combination of decentralized and semi-centralized status for higher education in Iran can be very useful and effective.

In the current world where knowledge is constantly being changed and improved, dealing with novel and new concepts in a significant aspect of encountering individuals, thus making leaning skills a vital condition for learners’ success. Developing and enhancing self-navigated learning is a major aim of secondary education because students are expected to reach a level of competence th be able to recognize their own educational needs and strive to provide them and evaluate their own learning even without getting a place in any specific educational system. Also, training of teachers and lerning of students have become severely professionalized in the current era so that teaching methods are required to respond to complexities of teaching-learning needs. Through library studies and studying previous theories it was understood that self-navigated learning, because of its reliance on cognitive processes, facilitates learning, planning, self-assessment, review and generally, metacognitive learning. Therefore, considering advantages of self-navigated learning, careful attention to this kind of learning seems essential. Manuscript profile -

Data were collected and analyzed through interviews and qualitative descriptive-deductive methods. In terms of the objective, it is applied and in terms of implementation, it is a qualitative and phenomenological study. Population comprised curriculum specialists, 10 of who were selected via purposeful sampling. Validity and reliability were approved by four experts. Results show that provision of appropriate education based on businesses’ needs, alignment with rapid technological changes, flexibility, assessment of graduates' professional competence before entering labor market, and nurturing creativity and entrepreneurship skills are key features of competency-based curriculum. Familiarizing students with new job skills, implementing real-world apprenticeship and internship programs, and gaining genuine pre-employment experience enhance employability. In contrast, higher number of theoretical hours, old-dated curriculum, restricted real job experience and not sufficient career ready practices are the main reasons for low employability. Strengthening the composition of specialized curriculum committees, implementation of professional qualifications system, alignment of practices with real needs of labor market, continuous and efficient monitoring, establishing connections between the ISCO, ISCED and the Labor Market Information systems are recommended.
