This study aimed to plan and validate the digital education curriculum in the second grade of primary school. The research paradigm was performed by a qualitative approach using research synthesis. The study was carried out on 107 scientific studies conducted from 2000 to 2020. , the number of the samples was reduced to 41 cases. Data were analyzed by the three-step process of Hord. The designed curriculum was validated by evaluating expert opinions. The findings showed the aims of the digital citizenship curriculum in the general, partial, and conclusive categories. The conclusive aim is awareness and competence in life skills in the digital age, which can be achieved by familiarity with electronic knowledge, electronic identification, awareness of electronic rights and responsibilities, the ability to make the proper connections in the electronic world, the ability to electronic participation, and the ability to maintain electronic security. The content was organized using interdisciplinary and objective-oriented organizing. The learning-teaching strategies were explained in 5 scales, including participatory (learners' teamwork experience, peer-to-peer participation, and participation of teacher, student, and parent), personalization (attention to differences, learner activity, learner independence), problem orientation (project based on the need, problem-solving, and exploration), simulation (modeling, simulation), and contingency (inverted training, workshop training, storytelling, game centered approach teaching). The evaluators and research tool were also considered in the two aspects of the evaluation. The experts confirmed the validity of the designed model and its elements in line with the missions of the digital citizen.

This article amied to examine and determine the suitability of the educational techniques and methods employed in teaching democratic social education competencies through the explicit curriculum. A mixed-method approach was adopted for this purpose. This study focuses on 13 professors from Farhangian University in Hormozgan province, serving as participants in the research. A combination of stratified and purposeful sampling methods was used to select the participants. The research utilized both qualitative and quantitative methods. Semi-structured interviews and observation were used for the qualitative portion, while the quantitative part employed the demographic method and a checklist with 26 items and a 3-point Likert scale. The checklist was created by an observation researcher and had an estimated reliability of 84%. The one-sample t-test was used to analyze the data obtained from observing the teaching methods and techniques of the professors in the quantitative part. Thematic analysis and MAXQDA software were used to analyze the information for the qualitative portion. The results of the study indicated that the level of appropriateness for all competence components of democratic social education, except for spiritual, political, and technology-based competence was favorable. A noteworthy correlation was found between professors' scores in utilizing teaching methods to acquire competencies and demographic variables such as teaching experience, academic rank, and field of study. However, no significant variation was observed based on gender.

The goal of the present research is to analyze the factors and indices of economic education curriculum. Qualitative approach and research synthesis method has been used. The research scope covers all the papers (n=211) published since 2010 to 2022 in the realm of economic education. The sample incudes 32 papers that were selected objectively based on thematic survey and theoretical saturation of data. The research data was collected by qualitative analysis of the papers. The six-step pattern of Roberts' research synthesis was used to analyze them qualitatively implementing the coding methods. Analyzing the data, dimensions of economic education were categorized in 4 main themes and 53 subthemes. The four main dimensions include personal, culture and economical ethics, economical concepts and knowledge, and collective and communicative dimension (communication and interaction indices in education). And to verify the reliability Scott’s pi was used. The results of the research are intertwined with the economic events and realities of social life and reflects issues that are tangible. Considering the results of this research is necessary for improving the quality of teaching in economic education curriculum.

The main goal of this research is to analyze changes in the dimensions of educational pragmatism in the function chapter of mathematics textbooks using a mixed (quantitative-qualitative) method. The study focuses on the "function" chapter of two textbooks: "Mathematics (1) 10th grade of the second high school Period" published in 2020 and "Mathematics (3) and (4) of the second year of the New secondary education system" published in 1997. The statistical population of the research consists of mathematics teachers who have taught the two mentioned textbooks, and the sample was selected non-randomly from available mathematics teachers and educational leaders. To begin, the content of the textbooks was analyzed using a quantitative method based on John Dewey's "educational pragmatism" theory. A total of 87 completed questionnaires designed as a Likert scale were analyzed and the questionnaire was adapted from Jarrah et al.'s research and localized. The reliability of the questionnaire was verified using Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.86. Following this, a qualitative method was used, in which a five-person expert group analyzed the contents of the chapters of the two textbooks under the four dimensions of pragmatism: usefulness, interest, experience, and integration. The expert group coded the results. The joint analysis of the questionnaire and coding showed that the textbook published in 2020 had a more favorable situation in terms of the components and dimensions of pragmatism compared to the textbook published in 1997. Finally, suggestions for future editions of the textbook are presented, with an emphasis on the experience dimension.

The purpose of the current research was to design a model for revising the experimental science curriculum of elementary school based on the deep learning of Fulen's perspective. The qualitative research method was based on Klein's model. The research community included reference texts in the field of identifying educational reforms needed to revise the curriculum of experimental sciences from 2010 to 2021. Based on this, 51 sources were studied and investigated with a purposeful selection method, and the sampling process was stopped based on theoretical saturation. In the next step, in order to verify the validity of the extracted components, the research community included specialists in the field of educational sciences with doctorate degrees in the fields of curriculum planning and elementary education. The study sample was 10 experts in the field of curriculum planning and elementary education in Isfahan city in 2020, who were selected purposefully. With Lavache's method, content validity ratio (CVR) was evaluated for each extracted component as well as each component of the model. The results showed that the model of revising the primary science curriculum based on Fulen's perspective with the aim of achieving deep learning and the partial goals of strengthening students' competencies, paying attention to the elements of educational design, modifying the conditions of education and facilitating the joint research process, has usefulness and implementation capability. Therefore, it is suggested to the officials of the Ministry of Education and Research to use the designed model in order to implement educational reforms

The purpose of the current research was to identify and analyze trends in curriculum research in Iran's higher education. The research method was document content analysis through thematic analysis, and the research instrument was a researcher-made checklist of thematic analysis. All articles in the field of higher education curriculum in educational science journals from 2011 to the beginning of 2021 were reviewed and 1321 articles were selected by purposeful sampling. The research method in the qualitative part was theme analysis, during which the basic, organizing and global themes were extracted. for quantitatively analyze the extracted topics, frequency and percentage statistics were used. Content validity of the instrument was confirmed by curriculum experts. The reliability of the instrument was also estimated by Holsti's reliability index method. Results revealed that the themes of teaching-learning, thematic contents and content areas of the curriculum, teaching methods and e-learning were most prominent in the research trends of higher education. Among the elements of the curriculum, the element of curriculum implementation was the most important. Qualitative research method was the dominant method used in the researches, students were the most participants in the studied researches, and the geographical scope of most of the researches was regional. It was concluded that the research trends in the field of higher education did not have a proper balance in terms of the investigated components. Based on this, it is suggested that the journals call for specialized and special articles in line with the subject needs proposed in this research.

The present study was conducted with the aim of developing a conceptual model of higher education curriculum based on sustainable development using a qualitative method of grounded theory. The data of this research was derived from in-depth and semi-structured interviews with 12 subject experts in the field of the country's higher education curriculum, which was based on targeted sampling dependent on the selection criteria and continued until the theoretical saturation of this process was reached. The validity of the research data was checked and confirmed by going back to the participants and external auditors. Data analysis was done based on the Strauss and Corbin model in the form of open, axial, and selective coding in the Atlas Ti 8 software. The results showed that the conceptual model of higher education curriculum based on sustainable development includes causal factors (inattention and neglect, managerial inefficiency, external factors of educational centers, personality and psychological factors), contextual (organizational strategic knowledge, management of organizational communication, support of educational systems) ), intervening factors (individual characteristics, financial factors, managerial factors), strategies (infrastructural strategies, creative strategies, innovative strategies, structural strategies) and consequences (improving the performance of educational centers, improving the satisfaction of students and their parents, empowering human resources, growth and maturity).
