The present study aims to critically analyze and study artistic education with regard to the ideas presented by John Dewey. To this aim, the research method of critical philosophical exploration were employed and the target corpus included all sources including books, articles, and research studies related to the presented subject. The research samples were purposefully selected and the data were gathered through a list of collected notes and information which were later analyzed by verbal, visual and logical inference. Dewey's point of view was critically examined according to the educational viewpoints of Eisner, Greene and Allameh Jafari. According to the research findings, artistic education and aesthetics in ideas of Dewey is based on the aesthetic experiences, with a purpose of artistic education to gain the capacity to achieve aesthetic experiences, experience-based content, and problem-solving training method and also based on an attitude to explore and its evaluation is process based. Aesthetics is something that we can experience, and Dewey’s artistic education involves several implications for education.

Community-based art education approach is introduced based on considering the importance of art education and aimed to establish a closer communication between society, culture and education. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to explain the placement of the community-based art education in the first phase of secondary education art curriculum. To achieve this aim, first the components of community-based art education approach have been explained. Then the art textbooks in the first phase of secondary education in the academic year 2017- 2018 have been analyzed based on those components. This study is a descriptive-applied research and quantitative and quantitative content analysis method has been conducted. The finding showed that out of 1523 cases of counting units, a total of 369 are related to this approach, of which the most emphasized is on the component of "Attention to differences in ethnic arts" (12.67%) and then "Introducing the arts of native / regional cultures" (8.33%). Two other components, "Interfering native / regional arts as educational experiences" (2.95%) and "Using the capacities of environmental education arts educational media" (0.26%), have not a noteworthy placement in these books. This research shows that although community-based art education approach in the curriculum in Iran is very much emphasized in theory, we have seen less of its effects in the content of the art curriculum in practice.

The purpose of this study was to systematically study and present a meta-synthesis of theoretical models and research related to the consequences of aesthetic education based on attitudes (beliefs, values) and skills. The research approach was qualitative using a cross-cutting research methodology. The data were analyzed using inductive content analysis with a directional approach, in which recent research was systematically selected, and the content was analyzed and categorized. The study corpus included subject-related research published from 2000 to 2019 in reputable national and international academic data bases. Finally, among the 60 articles and books, 47 were selected by purposive sampling. First, the theoretical bases and the main themes were extracted, coded and classified. The results indicated the conceptual model in the three main classes of attitudes (beliefs, values), cognitive skills and practical (experimental) skills. It should be mentioned that categories overlap in some respects. The results of aesthetic education in the development of consequences such as understanding and enjoyment of beauty, social action, promotion of thinking, learning-based experiences and semantic connection with the real world were emphasized.

Art education is one of the basic functions of the educational system. However, today, art doesn’t have a proper place in Iranian curricula and art education is not taken seriously. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of arts education on artistic education approach to interest in arts and love of learning in students. The study population consisted of 44 elementary school male students in Yazd (Iran) and the final sample included 44 students divided into two groups of 22 students who were selected by alternative random sampling. The questionnaires of interest in lesson (CIS) and love of learning were employed to collect the data. The reliabilities of the questionnaires were 0.93 and 0.76 which were calculated based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The results also showed that art education with the approach of artistic education increased the interest in art lesson in students and also had a significant effect on their love of learning.

National identity and education could be considered as the main constituents of humans’ personality. This article was designed to discuss the levels of national identity components represented in the newly developed high-school English Language textbook, “English for Schools: Prospect Series” in contrast to the old English Language textbook of the Ministry of Education “The Right Path to English”. The methods used for this purpose included a descriptive-analytic (documentary) research method and the content analysis. The research findings indicated that national identity components such as nation, culture, religion, geography, politics, ethnics and sub-cultures and national symbols are easily and richly observed among pictures and words of the newly-developed textbook. In addition, there was a significant difference between the new and old textbooks regarding the appearance of the constituents of national identity. The findings of this research could be applicable for authors and material developers in ministry of education in Iran.
