This study aims to conceptualize the curriculum inefficient (scraped) in Iran's higher education system. The paradigm of the study is qualitative and used grounded research method. The study population consisted of experts in curriculum and system of higher education, which by using of Targeted sampling, 21 experts were interviewed. Semi-structured interviews used to collect data that with this numbers the theoretical saturated sample achieved. Analysis of the data was carried in the paradigmatic model. A total of 103 open, 18 axials and 6 selected codes from conducted interviews in three stages obtained. The results of this study indicate that the most important causative, interveners, backgroundsfactors, strategies, and outcomes are respectively: low motivated students, biased approach curriculum designers, centralized and Supply based policies, Lack of knowledge-based market, not issue-centered curriculum and inadequate budget allocation, rising unemployment rates, especially among graduates, inefficient human resources, brain drain and reduced distrust to higher education.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the degree of attention to education for sustainable development in the curriculum (textbooks and teacher guides) in the elementary school's social sciences. The research method is the mixed one (exploratory and content analysis). The population is consisted of the whole social sciences textbooks and teacher guides of elementary school and global UENSCO documents. In this research the size of sample numerically is equal to the population. The tools for gathering data are global UNESCO documents and the researcher-made content analysis form. To verify the formal validity and the content of the tools, 20 experts (specialized in education, UENESCO, environment, sociology and economy) were consulted and they confirmed both the validity and content. The reliability was confirmed by Holesti formula as 92%. To analysis the data, the Shannon's entropy analysis was used. The results showed that in the whole elementary school's social sciences textbooks, the impact factor is highest in citizen rights and conservation of environment, whereas the lowest one was seen in sustainable consumption and excessive consumption. In both textbooks and teacher guides of elementary social sciences, the education for sustainable development component is not in proportion as it would be. In the elementary school's social sciences curriculum, the components of cultural dimension (cultural critique, cultural rehabilitation, maintenance of culture and religious system and beliefs) and socio-economic and environmental dimensions lack the frequency.

The aim of this study is to understand "Dominant implications on curriculum with Islamic education approach toward globalization phenomenon in Ayatollah Javadi Amoli"s view". Educational training with a universal mentality on Islamic approaches is a strategic task ahead of human resource management located in training institutions. Research method is transgressive rational analysis and the area of study consists of documents, texts and sources related to Islamic training and education in general and Ayat-Allah Amoli's documents, sources and work in particular; from which all texts related to Ayat-Allah Amoli's perspective in the field of globalization and education and training have been totally counted and studied using objective sampling method. Based on his view, four types of education in the field of educational system with a specific output of each one can be plotted. The view of Islamic education and training about encountering with globalization neither is passive, nor has a negative imaging, rather, Islam accepts the principle of globalization and believes that rationality, reason, experiment and using Islamic trainings are necessary for entering the field of action. Attention to planning, policies, goals, content, methods, training strategies and evaluation in each curriculum is of great importance. The nature of the curriculum with the divine approach influenced by philosophy and the valuable religious resources due to the above mentioned factors are inevitably necessary.

Recently, Problem-based strategy had used for revising nursing curriculum. The aim of the present study was to identify how the problem-based strategy has applied in nursing curriculum in America, Canada and Australia and proposed methods for applying it in Iranian nursing curriculum. This comparative study was done according to Beredy’ s model: Description, interpretation, juxtaposition, and comparison. The population was the documentation of world nursing colleges. The samples were totally 10 colleges of 3 countries: USA, Australia, and Canada who were selected by purposive sampling. Inclusion criteria was applying problem-based strategy in B. A. nursing curriculum. Data collection instrument was checklist problem-based which developed by Changiz & et al (2006). Nursing curriculum in these countries, were retrieved through their publications, books, Internet, their Sites and communicating electronically. Validity of these documents assessed by internal validity and critique the external validity were reviewed. Data analysis was performed according to Beredy’ s model. Based on applying this strategy, proposed methods for applying student-center strategy are to pay attention on teaching, learning and evaluation methods, developing lessons goals based on risk factors and community problem and developing health policy course. Attention to ways for applying problem-based strategy in nursing curriculum can promote Iranian nursing curriculum.

Classic statistical evaluation models are generally absolute and therefore make it difficult to achieve reliable results. One reason for this is that the sources used, inherently, contain inaccurate information and make the conditions difficult for a valid evaluation. In this study, using fuzzy inference, educational evaluation of professors was conducted. Due to the uncertain nature of the fuzzy theory, it is possible to analyze and evaluate information more precisely. The standard questionnaire of Islamic Azad University was distributed among 105 students to evaluate teachers. Then, the priority of each survey question was determined by interviewing some professors. The weighting effect of each professor's experience in response to each question priority and, also, the number of assessors' parameter in their evaluation system were considered. Mamdani type fuzzy inference system was chosen which receives two input fuzzy and provides the desired output based on fuzzy rule base. Finally, using three methods for evaluation including classic evaluation, evaluation with the expected value and fuzzy evaluation, have shown that the rating of teachers using fuzzy logic could be closer to reality.
