The purpose of this study was to analyze the content of elementary school textbooks based on the degree of attention to religious teachings. The study method was quantitative content analysis and the research population included all the textbooks of the first to third grades of elementary school that were used in primary schools in the academic year 2021-2022. Based on this, 22 book titles with 423 lessons, 2455 pages and 2469 images in total were reviewed and analyzed. The coding process was done deductively. The components of religious teachings (doctrinal teachings, moral-value teachings, ritual-practical teachings, emotional teachings) were extracted from theoretical foundations and in consultation with 7 professors of religious education. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (chi-square) were used to analyze the data and a retest method was used to study the reliability. The amount of agreement calculated as a criterion for coding reliability was 79%. The findings of this study showed that the component of moral values has the highest frequency and emotional teachings have the lowest frequency. The books of heavenly gifts, Persian and Quran have the most teachings and the least amount are found in the books of experimental sciences and in all the books they are thematic in teaching religious teachings.

This study aims to identify the elements and components of the curriculum of the books Din va Zendegi (Religion and Life) in senior high schools based on a transpersonal view. The method of this study was developmental-applicative in terms of purpose, and in terms of the type of method, content analysis was based on three-stage coding (open, axial , and selective). The field of study included all the experts and teachers in curriculum planning, educational sciences, and educational management, and through the purposive sampling method, the teachers with the desired qualifications were interviewed in a semi-structured way until arriving at the theoretical saturation of the findings, the number of study samples reached 12 teachers. To analyze the data obtained from the interviews, three-step coding methods were used. According to the findings, 18 categories and 5 elements were identified from the coding of the interviews: the objective element with 5 categories, the evaluation element with 4 categories, the elements of learners’ characteristics, and content and method with 3 categories, which were identified as the elements and contents  for the books Din va Zendegi (Religion and Life) in senior high schools based on a transpersonal view. The identified elements and components can be used in designing a model based on a transpersonal view in the curriculum of the books Din va Zendegi.

The literature of professional ethics is increasing. It is broken through the boundaries of education, and categories such as teacher’s professional ethics are derived from it; therefore, it is necessary to attempt to localize this literature. On the other hand, educational jurisprudence is developing as a new field in education, so it is necessary to have a specialized approach to teachers and teacher training. The ratio of teacher’s ethics to teacher’s jurisprudence is necessary in research (science production) and education (educational program and curriculum) and this is the main issue of this paper. this study, through a descriptive and analytical method, explaining what the teacher’s jurisprudence and teacher’s ethics are, has determined the ratio between them and come to a conclusion that these two fields of study, while different, are closely related to each other, and in the position of research, (Islamic) teacher’s ethics can rely on teacher’s jurisprudence and submit to its methodology of Ijtihad so that a comprehensive system of teacher’s rules, manners, and ethics can be deduced systematically. At the end of paper, teacher’s ethics in the teacher training curriculum has been evaluated, and some suggestions have been offered.

The present article aims at investigating the necessity of developing an indigenous model for teaching children to think by considering the contrast of ontological and epistemological assumptions in the desirable model and existing model. This contrast has been proved by explaining the ‘realism’ of these assumptions in Mulla Sadra’s view and their non-realism in the general assumptions of the current P4C. These assumptions specify the ideal or the ‘ultimate goal’ of the class of teaching children to think, the principles of leading the class, and consequently the desirable model. In the present study, this model will include the objectives, principles, content and methods, and all of them are influenced by that ideal. According to the results of the study, in the desirable model with Mulla Sadra’s approach, the ultimate ideal in that class is realizing that “the truth as it is in its reality”, “belief in its being”, and “knowing it” will be constructible, completing and in phases, which will have a meaning, with the semantics in the system of Mulla Sadra’s thought, different from the perceptions of the existing P4C. In this study, the researcher has used the analytical-inferential method to achieve the fundamental objectives of his qualitative study.

This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the self-esteem educational package in elementary school students. For this purpose, through the available sampling method, 16 out of 43 students in grade three were selected three according to the inclusion criteria. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups and subjected to the Rosenberg’s self-esteem scale. The subject group of the study, in addition to their usual training, was trained twice a week in their self-esteem program, which was prepared by the author and its validity was confirmed by the experts. The control group followed their usual training and after eight sessions of training to the subject group, the mentioned tests were taken again from the two groups and the data were analyzed by the covariance analysis method. The 20th edition of SPSS software and one-way analysis of covariance test were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that, compared to the control group, the subjects’ scores in the self-esteem variable had increased significantly (P<0.05). As a whole, the findings indicated that the application of the self-esteem training program on elementary school students could result in an increase in self-esteem.

Family life from Islamic point of view is established upon three pillars: novel faith, steady morality and firm affections. The Qur’an, considering the family system as one of Divine Signs, regards the manifestation of the Allah signs in family life as the key excel of these three pillars. This divine manifestation is the main instrument for the creation of tranquility over the family atmosphere and lays the groundwork for the appropriate and qualified upbringing of children. Creating a man and a woman with the same human identity, establishing a special marital relationship for them to achieve tranquility, creating affection and compassion between couples on the threshold of marriage to continue an ideal family life full of tranquility, and calling people who think to think of the family system, from the stage of creation to its growth and his develpment as one of the divine signs, these are four things that Allah has drawn a ray of His presence by expressing them. Relying on the guidelines of the Qur’an and Ahl al-Bayt (a) and using the exploratory method, refering to the available sources, including the ‘three-dimensional pyramid of the human psyche’ theory, the present paper aims to show that the two personality traits, affection and compassion, are considered as a strong support for creating and institutionalization of tranquility and providing conditions for raising children in family life. Following such an analysis, the approach of the Qur’an to the place of affection and compassion as two examples of divine manifestations and their role in spreading tranquility to the field of family members’ insight, attitude, and behavior is explained so that, in his next research, every researcher, beyond the current study, can use the principles derived from this analysis for family counseling from the perspective of Islam.
