The purpose of this study was to analyze the philosophical hermeneutics of Gadamer، and show its implications for the attainment of self-understanding، Otherness-understanding and together – understand in education. To achieve this objective، descriptive research methods and conceptual analysis of the qualitative research approach was used In. this study، the theoretical foundations and philosophical hermeneutics theory explanation – especially، non-methodic understanding of the importance of tradition، history، art، language، fusion of horizon and conversation in the process of understanding-it was proposed a model in which the occurrence of Otherness-understanding and together – understand Is in education. According to the above the researchers designed a diagram that show، understanding event to a cycle.

The main purpose of this research is the exploration functions of question in the understanding process and features of teacher and student as a questioner. To reach this purpose a conceptual analysis and deductive method was used. The results show question has a key role in the understanding and has some roles to fulfill its in the all steps: Enable pre-understanding and prejudices, challenging text in the detailed faced whit it, second facing of reader whit himself based on text’ s questions, faced of reader whit the text based on question of experience of the present. In these steps we can use different kind of question such as: stereotype breaker, creating meaning, creating horizon and subsequent. Also according to Gadamer’ s views both teacher and student are questioners that must be openness, assertiveness, truth-seeking and acceptor truth.

The main aim of this research is studying post-phenomenology. To achieve this aim comparative analysis and descriptive analysis method is used. First, concept of post-phenomenology and its differences and similarities with phenomenology have been raised. Then, application of this approach in the area of educational technology has been discussed. The results indicate that post-phenomenology like phenomenology studies the relationship between human and world, but it emphasizes the role of thing and technology In this relationship and technology mediates human and world relationship. Post-phenomenology studies the relationship between human and technology. In this approach technology doesn’ t have essence. Different technologies should be studied in different contexts so the Husserl’ s variation theory is considered differently. Technology like consciousness in Husserl’ s perspective has intentionality. It means that any technology is for some work and it doesn’ t have meaning in itself. In educational area and from post-phenomenological point of view we can study educational technologies from different aspects. We can study the changing experiences of students in use of technology, we can analyze and study multistability of educational technologies and the role of educational technologies in constituting technological behaviors.

The main purpose of this research is to explain the elements and characteristics of religious education curriculum based on the task-oriented approach. To achieve this purpose, Frankena`s Model for analyzing a normative philosophy; deductive method was used. Based on the results, the task-oriented the ultimate goal of religious education and then ten target interface for religious education were deducted from religious texts and Islamic education. The target interface containing: ten target interface consists monotheistic devotion, guidance, thinking, reasoning, knowledge and wisdom, justice, ability to work, liberty. Then characteristics of teaching and learning process related to this purpose were deducted from authentic Islamic and ed-ucation texts. These characteristics include intrinsic motivation for teaching and learning, senses breeding, breeding will, attention to individual differences, providing a model to identify and explain practical for religious education. Also in the religious education cur-riculum evaluation based on deontological approach was recommended that the identity of training be taken seriously. Because of the differences of the students abilities use dif-ferent methods for evaluation. The use of task-oriented approach in religious education can be followed results such as the possibility of free and informed choice on the person and freedom from coercion, Environmental determinism, pay attention to individual dif-ferences and The method of assessment from the inside out.

The main purpose of this research is to develop an Islamic social education curriculum model for secondary schools. Reaching to this purpose we used the normative method and deduction. Investigating the ratio of practicable usage of normative methodology concepts with current subject orientation curriculum, appeared the necessity of change in current value based orientations in social education. On the basis of research findings, subject orientation curriculum is not successful in norms of social interactions in connection with long term goals, foundations and values. Also is not able to confront the social education treats in students. Therefore we proposed the Islamic social education curriculum model for secondary schools to encounter the subject orientations inappropriate. Cognition and gain the social competence in relation to general goals achievement as inter subjective and public promotion, social and cultural identity fixation, social and cultural innovation according to Islamic and native norms are the most important needs in social education today. Social based curriculum models are the better choice to accomplish today's needs.

The main purpose of this study is to provide a historical perspective on intellectual development trends of educational administration during the 20th century. To achieve this goal, documentary method was used. A review of historical events shows that in the intellectual history of educational administration, extended efforts have been done to avoid confusion for creating knowledge base of educational administration. For the first time, the perceived confusion hesitated the past of practice-based educational administration (late 19th century) and it provided theory development in educational administration in the middle of 20th century. Despite the almost one hundred years of effort in this direction, once again, in the late 20th century, movement inadequacy in creating a strong knowledge base for practice improvement, was challenged by the emerging approaches such as critical theory, feminism and postmodernism, and the probability of theoretical unity was undermined in this field. Perhaps the main reason for uncertainty passive position against these criticism is related to the uncertainty of educational administration degree in theoretical swing between independent domains of the field with other administration disciplines that mainly appeared by positivism assumptions.
