Abstract
Education policy has always been one of the most important factors driving countries toward democratic aspirations, such as justly educational opportunities and civil rights. The policy sociology as a tradition in the analysis of educational policy has provided an unparalleled perspective for analyzing policy issues in the field of education. Despite the importance of such an approach, there is no scientific evidence for the direction of policy studies in the policy sociology in Iran. Therefore, this paper seeks to describe this research tradition, given the lack of rich scientific background in the policy sociology in Persian. Accordingly, the present paper presents the key assumptions of the policy sociology and the policy archaeology as one of the approaches proposed in this research tradition. The research method of this paper is descriptive-analytical and documentary type. This study has shown that the policy sociology is based on seven key assumptions. These assumptions are value based study, political and historical perspective, multidisciplinary study, assemblage, discourse study and qualitative research. This article also discusses how researchers should use policy archaeology to analyze educational policies.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to construct and test the dynamic geometric software based on spatial skills and compare its effectiveness with origami on spatial visualization and learning the students' mathematical lessons. The statistical population of the present study was all female students of the sixth grade elementary school in the city of Roudehen, who studied in the academic year of 1395-96. The research sample included all students in two classrooms selected randomly. Then, 35 students as an experimental group of origami, 35 people were selected as Dynamic geometry software and 35 controls as control group. The experimental groups were trained for twelve 40-minute sessions of mathematical education using Origami techniques and dynamic geometry software. The data collection tool included: (a) the Minnesota Space Visualization Test; and (b) the researcher's academic achievement test. To test the hypotheses, t-test and MANOVA were used. . The findings showed that the dynamic geometry software based on spatial and origami skills influenced the visualization of space and learning the mathematics lessons of students. In the t-test, the mean post-test scores of the dynamic geometry and post-test of origami software were significantly different with their pre-test.

Abstract
From the perspective of a principal, Jalal al-Ahmad looks at the educational issues of school and community together and seeks to solve the problems of community and school in relation to each other and from within the school. The article seeks to explore his thoughts and ideas in school principal of solving community problems from within the school. For this purpose, a descriptive-analytical method was used. The results showed that in the field of thinking, the elements of godliness, heresy and religious spirits have influenced Al-Ahmad's management style in school. Jalal al-Ahmad's epistemology, in his view of the objective and real issues of the school and the society around it, is reminiscent of social realism, which blends in with his critical approach. His view of man can be explained from the two perspectives of the existing man and the desirable man. The existing human being suffers from aimlessness or, in the path of the goal he pursues, loses his original identity and needs to be reformed. In his view, the desirable man is diligent, demanding change, and devoting himself to discovery, along with a desire to revive indigenous traditions. Value components include a tendency toward conscience, responsibility, purity, and traditionalism, which are crystallized in school management. In the light of these ideas, his general purpose is to establish a relationship between tradition and modernity and to reform society through the small school community. To achieve these goals, he emphasizes motivational and content-based curriculum content and community teaching methods, in which educational evaluation is conducted continuously and out of the context.
