Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of using diagram- drawing strategy on solving mathematical word problems of Grade 10 students in Iran.. There were 40 students that participated in this study. The data collected via one test consisting of six problems. For this test, three types of diagrams namely; network, hierarchy and matrix, were applied. The test was administered twice; first time without diagrams and second time after one week, adding diagrams to that test. the effect of three types of diagrams on solving word problems, was investigated. The results showed that, the only one that made a significant effect on students’ improvement of solving problems, was matrix diagrams. The research is suggested that the appropriateness of diagrams in relation to the structure of problem is crucial. This implies that only adding diagrams to word problems, do not guaranty the students’ improvement in word problem solving.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to discover the philosophical foundations of teaching in teaching-learning strategies to determine the position of identifying these foundations in the field of thought and practice. The research approach was descriptive-analytical and of qualitative and documentary type. Data were collected using text analysis technique and taken from texts of different sources, using form and note taking. To answer the research question, six epistemological questions were asked in line with various teaching models. The results showed that knowledge in the teaching models of information processing is relative and subjective and the type of knowledge in the teaching models of this family can be classified as sensory knowledge, experimental intellectual knowledge and partly intuitive knowledge. The results in the philosophical schools section supporting these models included the classical schools (idealism and realism), the school of pragmatism, naturalism, existentialism, and postmodernism (individual and social constructivism).
