This study aimed to examine the effects of integrating humor into math curriculum on mathematical creativity of sixth grade students in primary school. The current paper reports the results of the quantitative section of a larger study conducted through a mixed methods design. Mathematical creativity of students based on their performance was measured after the implementation of the researcher-developed package that included humor-integrated math content generated based on the concepts of sixth grade math textbook. Pre-test and post-test results showed that integration of some elements of instructional humor with math concepts can have positive effects on math creativity of the students. Suggestions are the development of humor-integrated curricula packages based on needs and requirements of the learners as well as the subject matters.

This study was conducted to remedy the shortcomings of the curriculum that the authors had developed for the course Consecutive Interpreting. The curriculum had been designed adopting a social constructivist framework and implemented for a semester to detect the imperfections. Since the main problems centered on the paucity of learners' interactions and the limitedness of the existing interactions to few learners, the face-to-face class was complemented with an online class on Moodle. The blended design was implemented for another semester to evaluate its efficiency in solving the problems. Three public forums were used for discussions. The study revealed that Forum is an efficient module in enhancing interactions. Besides, the differences between the mean participation rate of students with different gender, age and semester of entrance turned out not to be significant, indicating that such variations in the online class had not been barriers hindering learners from getting into interaction.

: Flourishing students' artistic capacities is among the major missions of education in the Document of Fundamental Reform. The five axes of artistic education including communication with nature, aesthetics, artistic production, familiarity with cultural and artistic history and heritage, and artistic criticism, along with the content structure of culture and art textbooks including visual arts, calligraphy, traditional arts, vocal arts and performing arts are all issues that should be considered by planners in developing potential human abilities. This study involved the content analysis of the culture and art textbooks of the junior secondary system in 2015-2016. Images, texts, and activities were taken as the unit of record. The encoding method was deductive following the topical and structural aspects of culture and art education. To validate the encoding process, a second rater encoded 10 percent of the content, indicating a correlation of 0.89. The results revealed that artistic production, aesthetics, artistic criticism, familiarity with cultural and artistic history and heritage and communicating with nature are the most significant aspects of artistic education respectively. Additionally, visual arts, traditional arts, calligraphy, vocal arts, and performing arts are the main priorities. The study of the 3D model of curriculum structure showed the application of all three activity types (prescriptive, semi-prescriptive and non-prescriptive) in the textbooks, but their content needs to be reviewed regarding the coordination of activities with the educational content presented, the form of content integration, balance and diversity, and the lack of raising students’ motivation and creativity.

The aim of the present study was to investigate what and how entertainment-based education is in elementary school curricula. The research paradigm was qualitative and research synthesis method. The research population consisted of valid and new research papers, books and research projects in the world and the sampling method was a purposeful method based on criteria. In order to improve the quality of the findings, after the final coding and categorization, the opinions of the professors of the curriculum were used. The logic of the program was explained in the form of a set of philosophical foundations of constructivism. The goals of entertainment-based education included building individual competence, skills training, reducing the digital divide, building interest in education, promoting media literacy, and providing lifelong learning;Teaching and learning strategies included direct instruction, rotational instruction, problem-solving instruction, and exploratory instruction;Evaluation is done in the form of formative evaluation, self-evaluation and final evaluation.

This study aims at investigating the experienced curricula of the skill-based higher education system from the perspectives of students therefore, a quantitative approach and a descriptive-survey method were utilized. The statistical population of the study comprised students of comprehensive scientific-applied universities in Iran. Stratified random sampling method and Cochran's formula were applied to select 660 students as the sample. Data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaireof skill-based curriculum in higher education, and the analysis was conducted through one-group t-test, Friedman. Content validity was verified and confirmed by curriculum and structural validity experts using software (PLS). The reliability coefficient was calculated using Cronbach's alpha (0.86). The final results suggest that the situation of the experienced curriculum was relatively favorable from the students' perspective in the three dimensions of "adapting the curriculum to 'the goals of the university, the skill-based system" and "executive aspects of the new curriculum." Accordingly, the skill-based higher education system in Iran requires great attention and fundamental changes need be made in curricula and teaching methods. Thus, this study suggests that the curriculum of the University of Applied Science and Technology (UAST) be designed to teach different skills, applied in professional and social life, and taught in simulated and practical educational environments in order to achieve the desired goals of the skill-based system.

The present study was conducted with the aim of identifying and explaining the prerequisites of a dialogical teaching-learning strategy, proportionate‎ to generational characteristics of todaychr('39')s ‎undergraduate students, using the mixed method. The tools used in the qualitative and quantitative sections were semi-structured interview and researcher-made questionnaire, respectively. The analysis of the findings in the qualitative part is based on grounded theory and in the quantitative part is descriptive-survey. The statistical population in the qualitative section was the experts, of which the sample of them continued in a targeted manner‎. The statistical population in the quantitative section, consisted of faculty members and undergraduate ‎students from whom the research sample was selected from them by stratified ‎random method. Based on the findings, 8 important prerequisites were identified. As a result, the academic motivation and scientific growth of todaychr('39')s students, depends on the efforts of teachers in the application of the mentioned Prerequisites.
