        The purpose of the present study is to investigate the degree of attention to education for sustainabledevelopment in the curriculum (textbooks and teacher guides) in the elementaryschool's social sciences. The research method is the mixed one (exploratory and content analysis). The populationis consisted of the whole social sciences textbooks and teacher guides ofelementary school and global UENSCO documents. In this research the size ofsample numerically is equal to the population. The tools for gathering data areglobal UNESCO documents and the researcher- made content analysis form. Toverify the formal validity and the content of the tools, 20 experts(specialized in education, UENESCO,environment, sociology and economy) were consulted and they confirmedboth the validity and content. The reliability was confirmed by Holesti formulaas 92%. To analysis the data, the Shannon's entropy analysis was used. Theresults showed that in the whole elementary school's social sciences textbooks,the impact factor is highest in citizen rights and conservation of environment,whereas the lowest one was seen in sustainable consumption and excessiveconsumption. In both textbooks and teacher guides of elementary socialsciences, the education for sustainable developmentcomponent is not in proportion as it would be. In the elementaryschool's social sciences curriculum, the components of cultural dimension(cultural critique, cultural rehabilitation, maintenance of culture andreligious system and beliefs) and socio- economic and environmental dimensionslack the frequency.   Manuscript profile

        Classic statistical evaluation models are generally absolute and therefore make it difficult to achieve reliable results. One reason for this is that the sources used, inherently, contain inaccurate information and make the conditions difficult for a valid evaluation. In this study, using fuzzy inference, educational evaluation of professors was conducted. Due to the uncertain nature of the fuzzy theory, it is possible to analyze and evaluate information more precisely. The standard questionnaire of Islamic Azad University was distributed among 105 students to evaluate teachers. Then, the priority of each survey question was determined by interviewing some professors. The weighting effect of each professor's experience in response to each question priority and, also, the number of assessors' parameter in their evaluation system were considered. Mamdani type fuzzy inference system was chosen which receives two input fuzzy and provides the desired output based on fuzzy rule base. Finally, using three methods for evaluation including classic evaluation, evaluation with the expected value and fuzzy evaluation, have shown that the rating of teachers using fuzzy logic could be closer to reality.

The joint reliability of the model variables (Average Variance Extracted) More and values (Construct Reliability) greater than 0.7 and (Average Variance Extracted) is greater than 0.5 is therefore acceptable validity and reliability. Fornell and divergent validity with Larkr proves that the (Average Variance Extracted) any more than the variance shared between engineering structures and other structures and is acceptable.
