Abstract
The aim of this study was to increase understanding of how to change theoretical and practical knowledge of primary school teachers. The research approach was qualitative. The data were collected through focus group interviews. The sample size was obtained after the saturation phase including 25 teachers. The data were analyzed using content /thematic analysis. Two techniques were used for increasing the trustworthiness of data including member check, and peer review or debriefing. The findings were labeled in three categories comprising the quality of theoretical and practical knowledge change, the change channels of theoretical and practical knowledge of teachers and the factors influencing the change of teachers' theoretical and practical knowledge. These categories embraced the sub-categories. As sum, the results revealed that the low quality of teachers' in-service curriculum bring the unimportant change in theoretical and practical knowledge of teachers. Design and development of teachers' in-service curriculum, needs change in instrumental perspective of designers and executives of curriculum-making toward change phenomenon in teachers.

Abstract
The National curriculum of Islamic Republic of Iran has been focused on promoting students’ modeling skills. In consideration of this emphasis, this study has investigated the attitudes towards mathematics and the views towards mathematical modeling problems of 244 students in grade 10. This research was conducted with a pre-test, followed by an educational intervention and a post-test. During the educational intervention, two groups of students with different instructional formats; the direct teaching method, which is teacher-centered, and the operative-strategic method, which is student-centered, attended 6 sessions of modeling problem-solving. In order to gather data for the study, a Likert scale and an open questionnaire were used. The results of this study showed that teaching modeling problems improved students’ attitudes towards mathematics in both groups. While most students had positive attitudes that expressed the modeling problems as interesting and applicable, other students had negative comments.

Abstract
Nowadays, there is a growing interest in transdisciplinary approach to university curriculum development,
transdisciplinary Studies are about the realms, goals, and goals of the transition field. The early phases of transdisciplinary in higher education curriculum can be complex and so there are challenges to the definition and operationalization this approach to the university curriculum. In this paper, in respect to the different perspectives on the subject, the conceptual framework and the model of the curriculum based on the causal layered learning are explained and the challenges and obligations of the subject are conceptualized based on four different types of curricular issues: Philosophical and pedagogical considerations, issues and responsibilities affecting the teaching process, issues and responsibilities affecting students learning, issues and responsibilities affecting course design and issues and responsibilities affecting learning assessment.

Abstract
| This research is based on the experience of the faculty members of the College of Mathematics, Engineering, and Basic Sciences (STEM) at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in 2017 in implementing professional development curricula. The data of this research were extracted from a qualitative and descriptive phenomenological method with semi-structured interviewing tool. Data is analyzed through coding and categorization. Sampling in this section was targeted through a criterion type and a total of 21 people participated. To credited, Delphi technique was agreed by the experts and experts on issues. Given the research structure and the four areas in the curriculum, researchers' perceptions of the themes and concepts related to each field were referred. A total of 37 categories and finally four general categories including design, implementation, field and evaluation in three areas of strengths, leading issues and desirability of curriculum. The results of this study showed that a great deal has been reported between the design and implementation of the programs, as well as a conceptual model based on the life experiences of the faculty members and, finally, suggestions were presented. |

Abstract
The goal of this study was to identify and develop an appropriate theoretical framework for designing curricula in crises. In this regard, first, by document analysis and ampliative criticism methods, the consequences of crises on the society and the educational system were extracted and used as a basis for criticism and drawing a conclusion. Then, relevant taxonomies in curriculum theories were studied, and based on some criteria such as comprehensiveness and efficiency in answering the research questions, the taxonomy of Miller was selected and its expounded theories on crises were analyzed. Based on results, given the special psychological and social conditions of people who have been involved with crises, it was recognized that the guidelines of the social humanistic theory are more appropriate than the others for designing a curriculum which would help increase people's resilience and cause their faster return to normal conditions.

Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to explain the difficulties of existing assessment approaches and suggest an alternative approach in order to overcome these difficulties. Therefore, firstly, the existing assessment approaches have been criticized and next an intergral assessment approach was presented based on the neuro-phenomenology which was inspired by the causal layered analysis, Ken Wilber's theory of integral and fuzzy logic. The most important features of this approach to assessment are holographic attitudes towards human life, reciprocal relationships between mind, brain, body and environment and a synchronous consideration of first-person experiential and third-person experimental approaches to cognition.

Abstract
Curriculum theorizing is the methodology of the theory development. We recognize, two approaches to curriculum theorizing; explanation and understanding. Explanation resemble the processes of theorizing like natural scientist does and understanding is an approach to theorizing with its personal engagement consideration, uniqueness evolve from the complexity of and unrepeatable educational phenomena. In this article, two main ideas, objectivism-reductionism, subjectivism-mystrianism and a branch of the second idea so called; conceptualism are examined. It is argued that all three ideas are corresponding with the explanation or understanding and so their deficiency in human life is determined. It is argued that neurophenomenology could be considered as a remedy for the fragmental deficiency and incompetence of the current dominant positions in curriculum theorizing. We called the neurophenomenology inspired theorizing as; "understanding explanation" and explain it in reference to the Varrellas, Varela's methodology of reciprocal constraints.

Abstract
In this research, one of the views of the Islamic curriculum proposed by Hashim has been described, analyzed and criticized. In the analysis, it was found that she considered the curriculum as a document and system. Her view on religious science is influenced by al-Attas' view. Accordingly, she considers science as a religious one in condition that it is free from Western elements and replaced by Islamic propositions. She seeks to design and develop a curriculum that places particular emphasis on Islamic goals and content. The most important criticisms indicates the neglect and lack of theoretical explanation of philosophical and methodological foundations, reliance on formalist views, Neglecting the curriculum as a field of study, being under the banner of the discourse of existing Western sciences. Hence, the important need of this field today is to go beyond the passive encounter, which is based on the adaptation, refinement and formalistic completion of existing Western knowledge, and to turn to reactive and proactive encounters that seek to provide theoretical formulations. New development of curriculum knowledge boundaries from an Islamic perspective is essential.
