This study aimed to formulate a philosophical model of rationalism based on the three axes of thought, speech and behavior for the students of the philosophy of education. The study used a qualitative method to analyze the content of a collection of books, commentaries and articles on philosophy from the perspective of rationalism in three parts: thought, behavior and speech. Findings obtained in qualitative content analysis were compiled in the form of a researcher-made questionnaire and was given to a predetermined statistical population including experts in the field of education. The face of the researcher-made questionnaire was confirmed. The data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistical methods (SPSS and Smart PLS). Findings of the qualitative part showed that the final model from the perspective of rationalism based on rational and logical principles in thought, behavior and speech for students of philosophy of education consisted of five indicators of goals, methods, challenges and gaps, elements and the consequences. The output of the qualitative stage of the final model from the point of view of rationalism, relying on rational and logical principles in thought, behavior and speech, also included the dimensions, factors and components of the model along with their factor loadings. Also, factor analysis in the quantitative part showed that each of these variables had acceptable fitting indices.

The aim of this study was to develop a multicultural curriculum model based on Foucault's views in medical universities of Semnan province. The applied study adopted a mixed-methods approach. The participants were selected using snowball sampling method and theoretical saturation criteria. 20 experts in the field of medical education and curriculum planning in Semnan were recruited. In-depth and semi-structured individual interviews were used to collect the data. The data obtained from the interviews were analyzed by open, axial, and selective coding. After the initial design of the conceptual model of a multicultural curriculum based on Foucault's views to validate the model, the opinions of 18 medical education specialists in Semnan were used. At this stage, the researcher-made multicultural curriculum questionnaire based on Foucault's views with 70 items and four dimensions of purpose, content, teaching-learning and evaluation strategies with each dimension having three components of knowledge, attitude and skill in a five-point Likert scale was used. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by the expert opinion and the reliability was assessed by Cronbach's alpha. Also, the composite reliability was confirmed by coefficients of 0.95 and 0.97, respectively. The results showed that the components of purpose, content, teaching method and evaluation were effective in explaining the pattern of multicultural curriculum based on Foucault's views.

The present study is qualitative with grounded theory approach. In order to reach a deeper understanding, a phenomenological approach was adopted. Participants included 15 teachers who suited the aims of the study and were up-to-date. They were recruited by using purposive sampling and were then interviewed until theoretical saturation was achieved. The instrument of data collection was semi-structured interview. Individual participant’s attitudes about the phenomenon of interest and their willingness to take part in interviews were determining factors in selecting them. Selection of the interview data was done as independent and exploratory without mental manipulation. Finally, after analysis of the data, results were prepared via three stages of open, axial and selective coding. The open codes included 23 concepts and axial codes were four categories of self-identification, God-identification, God’s creation, and God’s people. Each code contains signals that are thoroughly discussed.

The Purpose of this study was to provide a model for identifying and attracting primary school principals in Tehran. If an organization does not have a program for attracting and employing trained human resources in line with the current business requirements, the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization's human resources programs and policies will suffer irreparable damage. In order to achieve the first two goals, the researcher has used the qualitative method and to achieve the third goal, he has used the quantitative survey method. Therefore, this research is in the category of mixed research. The sample of the qualitative section included 30 specialists, education experts and university professors in Tehran who were selected via purposive sampling. In the quantitative part of the sample using Morgan and Krejcie’s Table, 134 individuals were estimated who were randomly selected and evaluated using a researcher-made questionnaire. The results of the qualitative part were analyzed using the coding process, which finally included 200 indicators, 17 components and four dimensions of managerial competence, social competence, individual competence and final absorption. The findings of the quantitative section confirmed the qualitative findings.

The concept of self-sacrifice is one of the highest effective and motivating moral values able to affect the atmosphere of a society widely and guarantee the permanence and consistency of human societies. However, while there is no serious dispute about the necessity and importance of the concept of self-sacrifice, there is disagreement about what it is and its operational meaning. In response to this situation, this article intends to explain the concept of the moral value of self-sacrifice based on the verses of the Qur'an, to suggest goals and educational content related to this concept. The research methods used in this article are descriptive semantics and content analysis. The results of the research show that self-sacrifice is a central social moral value and it's most important pillars are relationship and relationship with another. According to these two dimensions, self-sacrifice is a special form of a person's relationship with another person in which the person prioritizes the needs and desires of the others. From an educational point of view, in order to institutionalize the value of self-sacrifice in learners, it is desirable to use a competency-based goal setting model and an integrated approach in content development.
