Present era is the era of scientific and technological changes in the world. These changes, have been affected various aspects of society and human life. Conformity with the scientific advances, require to benefit from interdisciplinary, specially in Higher educational system. The question of the research is due to the increasing use the interdisciplinary specially in higher education of our country "How is the Interdisciplinary reflection on the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution (SCCR)?" To answer this question, while using qualitative research method, the descriptive - analytical study method was the way. In this study, after giving a description of the Interdisciplinary in higher education and familiarity with the SCCR, the selected Ratifications were analysis. After interpret analyses performed, the results showed that the first attention to Interdisciplinary is in the early of revolution (1358) as "Interdisciplinary services" in higher education. Another application of that is in the National Master Plan for Science and Education Ratification (1389), that has been applied in terms of "science, areas, orientation, issues, studies, and development of interdisciplinary" in higher education. Also used the content analysis in chosen ratification. In the next step, the first to fifth develop programs of Iran was studied in order to assess the emphasis documents before and after the SCCR. Another development Plans were also explored. Results show that SCCR was pioneer in the interdisciplinary applying in higher education than the other academic institutions and with creation favorable conditions, re-emerged.

One of the duties of universities is the empowerment of students in various fields, including the recognition of the future or future studies. The increased ability of student futures can be improved through education during the years of study, so one can claim that one of the important variables that can be the ability of future student studies to influence students is the quality of teaching and learning methods. The purpose of this study was to design teaching methods based on the development of future studies in higher education, which was conducted using qualitative research methodology and using a strategy based on the data theory of the foundation. In this regard, semi-structured interviews with 14 faculty members in the field of curriculum and futures studies in universities of Fars province were carried out using purposeful approach and application of theoretical saturation criterion. To obtain the reliability and validity of the data from two Participants review method and review of non-participating experts in the research were used. The results of the data analysis were separated into separate concepts through three stages, open source coding, theoretical coding and selective coding with the aid of MAXQDA12 software, and 16 general categories were obtained. This article presents the findings of the study in the framework of the paradigmatic model including: causal conditions (4 categories), pivotal phenomenon (futures studies as a general approach to teaching), strategies (3 categories), fields (4 categories), interventional conditions (2 categories) and outcomes (2 categories).

The purpose of this study is to explain the curriculum of moral education in the aspect of comparative analysis of Kant’s and Mullah Ahmad Naraqi’s theories using both conceptual and comparative analysis in order to increase the fundamental knowledge in this area. In order to achieve this goal, try it with the use of primary sources and secondary sources included (authentic books, research, relevant research, publications and Internet sites) study the methods of conceptual analysis and comparative analysis is analyzed and analyzed. The results indicate that Kant and Mullah Ahmad Naraqi studied moral education in a profound manner and remarkable implications in the content of curriculum of moral education can be concluded from their theories. Kant is the representative of west’s viewpoint and Mullah Ahmad Naraqi is the representative of Islamic’s viewpoint; Despite the obvious disagreements, shared components are concludable that can be reviewed by policy makers and curriculum planners so that it can ease the students’ moral development. Among the main priorities of curriculums, we can point out education, training students’ moral dimension, emphasis on development of memory in curriculums, practicality in curriculums, emphasis on mathematic lessons in curriculums, emphasis on criticism in curriculums and training students’ religious dimension.

Childhood is the first and most important period of human life in which the concept of self, nature and social relations for the first time forms in it. Accordingly, these goals have been addressed to children in the main goal of national curriculum development. One of the questions that need to be answered in order to achieve the goals of the curriculum is how the physical environment in which education occurs. On the other hand, the presence of nature in the design of educational spaces, according to studies, has many potentialities to access the various needs of children in growth and education. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of design with a nature-based approach in primary educational spaces to achieve the goals of the national curriculum. The present study is an analytical descriptive study which is based on the library method and the review of texts and logical reasoning. The findings of the study include nature-based design strategies for achieving the goals of the national curriculum. The most important of which is the use of sustainable design patterns in school design, the design of two separate courtyards of educational and sports facilities, the design of semi-open educational spaces in the proximity of theory classes, visual visibility to the natural green spaces of the interior spaces, the use of Iranian gardening patterns in the design of enclosures, the creation of spatial diversity by creating a variety of closed, open and semi-open spaces.

The main purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the rate of effective teaching criteria by university professors and the Scientific spirit of students. The statistical population of the study consisted of all students of Mazandaran University in the academic year 2012-2013. By stratified sampling, 375 students were selected as the statistical sample of the study. The research instrument consisted of two researcher-made questionnaires: Effective Teaching and Scientific Spirituality. Both of the questionnaires contained 30 questions of five options according to the Likert scale of 5 degrees. Validity of two questionnaires given to study and consult the 10 teachers in educational sciences has been verified and reliability through an open trial on 30 subjects selected from a population of (other than samples) were examined for the questionnaire effective teaching highly correlated high (r=0.85) and the scientific spirit of solidarity questionnaire relatively "high (r=0.77), respectively. findings indicate that the performance of teachers, Mazandaran University, 4 School of Law and Political Science, Basic Sciences, Arts and Architecture, the application criteria designing, teaching, education, classroom management, human relations and evaluation, as relatively "good and desirable criteria for personality characteristics, highly desirable. Level of students' scientific morale is not in the "Desirable" in any of the areas considered. The findings also showed that there is a significant relationship between the performance of the professors in applying the effective teaching standards and the level of students' morale (P<0.05), and the performance of the professors in applying the effective teaching criteria is a positive and significant prediction for the level Student Spirituality. Regarding the results of this study, it can be stated that the performance of professors in the application of effective teaching standards plays a very important role in the level of students' academic morale. Therefore, in order to increase the level of academic spirit of students, university professors use effective teaching standards effectively.

The current study was performed with the aim of investigating the relationship between self-directed learning, self-efficacy and information literacy and knowledge sharing behaviour among male students of high school of district 2 of Isfahan in the academic year 93-94 through the descriptive approach of the correlational type. All high school male students of district 2 with the number of 4995 formed the statistical population of the current study that among them 356 people were selected to participate in the current study by the random cluster sampling method. Data collection tools in this study were 4 questionnaires of self-directed learning of Fisher et al. (2001) with 40 items, self-efficacy of Sherer and Maddux (1982) with 17 items, information literacy with 18 items and knowledge sharing with 15 items, that their validity was confirmed, and their reliability, also, was obtained 0.78, 0.90, 0.91 and 0.85, respectively, by using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Obtained data from the research were analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics including correlation coefficient, stepwise regression and analysis of variance. The test results of main theories showed that there was a significant relationship between self-directed learning and knowledge sharing behaviour, between self-efficacy and knowledge sharing behaviour and between information literacy and knowledge sharing behaviour. Also, the results showed that there was a significant relationship between the propensity for learning dimension, the self-management dimension and self-control dimension and knowledge sharing behaviour. Moreover, there was a significant relationship between the desire to behaviour starting of self-efficacy dimension, the desire to expand the effort for affecting the task of self-efficacy dimension, resistant in facing with the obstacles of self-efficacy dimension and knowledge sharing behaviour. The results of stepwise regression revealed that propensity and self-management dimensions of self-directed learning have the ability of predicting the knowledge sharing behaviour. The relationship among the propensity dimension to expand the effort for affecting the task has the ability of predicting the knowledge sharing behaviour. Among the views of respondents in all four variables based on the education base, there was no significant difference.

This study aims at investigating the relationship between teaching methods and fostering the scientific attitude in the primary girl students in four regions (north, south, east, and west) of Tehran in academic year 2009-2010.20 teachers and 20 classes were selected from among all these schools by multi-stage cluster sampling.
