Abstract
The present study is about one of the most important contemporary issues in education and curriculum development, namely “human rights education”. By using content analysis, 36 textbooks of 2012-2013 school year with an overall of 3924 pages were studied and analyzed. For the analysis of the data, Shannon's entropy method derived from the theory of systems was used to obtain the credibility ratings of each human rights component and comparison of their coefficients. Based on our research findings, there hasn’t been enough attention to human rights components, and among the pages of the textbooks, most credibility ratings was related to constitutional laws and less to the rights of social, economical and cultural components. Also based on the credibility ratings obtained from the frequency corresponding to the sub-components, the highest credibility ratings is related to sub-components of environmental rights, while the lowest credibility ratings relates sub-components of right to fair trial and property rights.

Abstract
The aim of this research is to study the components of creativity in elementary school curricula. The research method used in this research is content analysis. The information source of this research is the 6th Grade Mathematics textbook in the academic year 1391-92. To achieve face validity, the viewpoints of the educationalists and experts were used in this research, and to achieve reliability, according to Pearson’s formula of correlation, the agreement coefficient of 0/89 was derived from the codification board. The tool of this research is the content analysis form with regard to Plsek’s teaching creativity model. A coded form was used to analyze the content of 6th Grade Mathematics textbook this task was accomplished in four stages: at the first stage, active and inactive units of the textbook were specified. At the second stage, the inactive units were deleted. At the third stage, the active Units were coded based on the parameters of Plsek’s guided cycle of creativity, and at the fourth stage, data resulted from the research were analyzed by using Shannon Entropy analysis method and the descriptive statistics methods. The findings indicate that the degree of attention and involvement parameters of Plsek’s creativity model and the coefficient degree of importance for each parameters are very low, and so the contents of 6th grade mathematics textbook are nor adapted to the Plsek’s creativity principles and it hardly can be effective in generating and fostering creativity in learners.

Abstract
The aim of the present study is to analysis the content of persian literature textbooks based on approved seven-goal dimention in Iranian high schools. Its method is descriptive with content analysis. The population of the study is the textbooks of Persian literature in high school in the 1392-93 academic year that with regard to research’s nature and limitation in numbers of textbooks, all of them have been selected as the study sample. The data gathering tool is check list which was made by researcher. The research results were analyzed by Indicators of descriptive statistics. The main results indicate that: 1. from total 2656 frequencies consider to approved seven-goal dimensions, first grade with 637 frequencies or 24%, second grade with 634 frequencies or 23.9%, third grade with 508 frequencies or 19.1% and forth grade with 877 frequencies or 33%, considered the mentiond dimentions. 2. The Artistic and cultural dimension with 730 frequencies or 27.5% located in the highest rank and the economic dimension with 71 frequencies or 2.7% is the lowest rank.

Abstract
Recently, the National curriculum of Islamic Republic of Iran has been developed by the Ministry of Education to provide educational policies. In this document, an implicit emphasis on so called context base aspect of the program can be seen in the mathematics curriculum framework section. In this paper, I first, introduce the different aspects of context base Mathematics Education, and then this educational approach has been traced in the newly written mathematics textbooks in Iran

Abstract
This research aimed to analyze the content of computer science textbooks work- knowledge branch, design and development of web pages in terms of the concept of soft skills and it was done by content analysis method. Statistical population included computer science textbooks Kardansh branch, and the sample size includes seven s books which was selected in a purposeful manner. The unit of analysis in this study was sentence. A researcher-made checklist was used to collect the data. Categorical method was used to analyze the collected data and frequency and percentage were used to analyze the data. The results showed the following six components: Commitment and Responsibility Skills, Communication and Teamwork Skills, Creativity and Problem Solving, Ability to plan and organize activities, the skills of using modern computing and technology and practical skills and specialized knowledge in its textbooks have not been considered as appropriate.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the views of graduates and students-teachers about the redundant curriculum in primary education. The approach of qualitative research and its method is content analysis. Sampling was purposeful and 18 people were selected to participate through semi-structured interviews. Findings show that parts of the curriculum content of this field are redundant and inefficient due to their theory, repetition, obsolescence, inappropriate source, disproportion of optional and compulsory courses, which are the most The frequency of redundant courses is also related to general courses and Islamic education. Also, parts of the curriculum are considered redundant due to learning experiences, with participants pointing to the role of teacher, student, and assessment. The results showed that in terms of content, it is necessary to remove parts of the general curriculum and allocate them to specialized and specialized-educational courses.

Abstract
In order to fully understand the concept of fraction, all of its sub-constructs must be considered and interrelated. The purpose of this study is to examine the presence of these sub-constructs and their level of use in elementary mathematics textbooks in Iran. A content analysis study based on Kieren's sub-constructs framework with five categories, namely; part-whole, measurement, ratio, quotient, and operator, was conducted to analyze all 2-6 grades’ mathematics textbooks’ activities and problems in chapters related to the concept of fraction. The results of the analysis showed that the most used sub-constructs respectively are: Part-Whole (49%), Measurement (22%), Ratio (16%), Operator (11%), Quotient (1%). There is very little attention given to the sub-construct of ‘quotient’ in these textbooks. Moreover, the potential of some sub-constructs has not been fulfilled.
