The purpose of this study is to analyze the content of the chapters related to the biology section in the experimental science textbooks of the Junior high school based on Merrill› s educational goals. The present research is applied and its research method is descriptive and content analysis. The statistical population in this research is the seventh, eighth and ninth grade science textbooks published in 2019. The results show that the share of the biology section in the science textbooks of the Junior high school is %32 of the total pages of these books, which is acceptable compared to other sections. In the case of thematic components, the most common components were first the concepts component, then the facts component, then the method component, and finally the principles and rules component, which seems to be acceptable given the nature of the biology course. In the type of performance, the content of science books in the biology section is designed more with the aim of creating levels of memory function and application performance, and the function of discovery and innovation, which according to the goals of biology education and science education in general should be considered more than all functions, has received less attention and emphasis.

In late 2019, the widespread corona virus, centered on the Chinese city of Wuhan, spread and quickly spread around the world. Nowadays, virtual education is one of the most common and modern methods in different countries for teaching students in various educational levels around the world. Factors such as increased capabilities and access to the Internet have played an important role in the development of this method. The aim of this study was to determine the level of satisfaction and mobility of students in the study of zoology in this period of the prevalence of coronavirus. In this study, 40 questionnaires were completed by a female high school student of the second year (11th grade) who were selected from 60 students with different educational statuses (weak, medium and strong). In this questionnaire, students were asked to comment on the virtual education of biology lessons with the options in the questionnaire. According to the results obtained in this study, %52. 5 of students agreed to hold a virtual biology class at this time and %25 of them were opposed to this method. Also, the level of significance in this study is 0. 01, which indicates the impact of virtual education in biology. In general, it can be concluded that e-learning can be used as an educational method if the transfer of concepts is well conveyed.

Main point of this research is, learning processes and different types of the memory and, how to apply them in our learning and teaching. learning and teaching are two important parts of education. Both of them should be used in order to have suitable education. Also other our goal in this article is to create a link between the pedagogical knowledge though at the Farhangian university and in the biology education. Descriptive-analytical methods were used to collect the required information by analyzing books and articles related to internal and external teaching and psychology. The results show that teaching is a two-way process and that knowledge is actively transferred to the learner in contrast to the behavioralist approach where learning transfer is passive. In this process, the teacher acts as a guide. The use of information technology while teaching and objectifying concepts also has an impact on students› learning, cognitive development and academic achievement.

Studies have shown that among the world’ s strategic sciences in the future, biology is the most important science today and will play an effective role in solving world’ s major problems; Therefore, its changes and equivalence can affect the fate of the country’ s science. One of the policies of the Academy of Persian Language and Literature is to institutionalize Persian as the language of science in Iran. In the meantime, second grade biology textbooks have undergone unprecedented changes since 2016; In 2018, 25 new words were included in the 12th grade biology textbook. The mass influx of words provoked reactions from its audience. The purpose of this article is to review the equivalent words of the Academy in biology textbooks with a review analysis of these words. According to studies on the vocabulary of biology books and the audience feedbacks, there were the highest popularity of words in the tenth biology book about %78, %38 in the eleventh biology and %47 in the twelfth biology; For some words, according to the analysis, suggestions have been made to replace their Persian equivalent, and for others, the equivalent has not been seen in the reviewed sources.

The evolution of the educational system is equivalent to the transformation of the country's human resources and future construction. One of the most important and fundamental elements of any educational system is the textbook, and the improvement of this sector will lead to important changes in society and extensive change in learning. In this study, the twelfth grade biology textbook of the second year of high school in the field of experimental sciences in 1398 was examined according to the active-passive pattern of William Rumi. The research method is content analysis. The Statistical Society of Research is the twelfth grade biology textbook for the second year of high school in the field of experimental sciences in 1398. According to the research findings, the learner's coefficient of conflict in the text and image sections was 0. 30 and 0. 988, respectively. The results show that the book is inactive in text and image sections. Being active means that the student is involved in the learning process; A power that is not seen in passive education.

The purpose of this study was to evaluation of the 6th-grade elementary experimental science curriculum based on Bloom› s cognitive indices according to teachers perspectives in shahrekord. This research has a qualitative-quantitative approach in terms of methodology. The study population included all sixth grade teachers in Shahrekord in the first semester of the academic year 19-2019. Due to the low size of the population, all of them, 100 people (46 females and 54 males) were selected as the research sample by census sampling method. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect information, the retest validity of which was 0. 85 at two weeks interval. Descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (paired t) tests were used to analyze the data. Findings from the qualitative section showed that a total of 48 concepts were obtained for 14 chapters of the book of experimental sciences, which fall into 5 thematic categories (chemistry, biology, physics, geology and information technology). Also, the results of the study of the degree of attention to the concepts extracted from each chapter according to Bloom› s cognitive indicators from the perspective of teachers separately for each chapter showed that only in the third, fifth, sixth, tenth, twelfth and fourteenth chapters, All levels of Bloom› s cognition have been reasonably considered; In other seasons, the focus has been more on Bloom› s low cognitive levels. Also, according to teachers, in compiling the sixth grade experimental science textbook, more attention has been paid to the lower levels of Bloom› s cognitive hierarchy, and the more we move from the first level of the hierarchy to the higher levels of Bloom› s cognitive levels, the less attention is paid to high-level concepts.
