Review and analysis of the wills of teacher training collegians' martyrs of South Khorasan: a qualitative study

Teacher training collegians, like other classes, had an active presence during the eight-year holy defense, and research shows that among the martyrs of the eight-year war, some of those honorable martyrs were among the collegians of teacher training centers. Therefore, considering the importance of preserving the values of holy defense and the cause of martyrs, the present research was carried out in order to examine and analyze the wills of teacher training martyrs in South Khorasan, and the method of content analysis and document review was used. The text analysis unit was martyrs' wills. According to the nature of the research, available sampling method was used, and 12 wills of teacher training martyrs were examined. The data obtained from the examination and analysis of the martyrs' wills were analyzed with the method of Gal Et al. Findings from the analysis of wills were categorized in 8 main themes: "Philosophy of being at the front", "The martyrs' view of Imam Khomeini (RA)", "Giving importance to the mosque and ceremonies", "The mission of collegian-teachers", "Guide for the people", "Honor of father and mother", "Respect Hijab and Islamic issues" and "Transmission of Ashura culture". It can be concluded from the findings of the research that the martyrs, with a deep look at the importance of the important mission of collegian-teachers, while conveying the importance of the right education of the future generation in their wills, emphasized on avenging the blood of the martyrs from the enemy. And issues such as paying attention to ceremonies and the importance of praying and continuous attendance in mosques, observing hijab by women and paying special attention to Muharram were part of the will of the martyrs to the collegian-teachers and people.
