The learner and instructor are two main pillars of human relations and the latter plays an important role in ensuring the mental health of the learners. In the process of expounding the values, the learner harmonizes between his/her own group their demands, by assimilating the culture. Besides, the peers, pave the way for cherishing the values by establishing horizontal relation of the facilities of learning social skills. The influence of teaching elements including the textbooks, instructor and evaluation method is considered one of principles of designing the curriculum.
