Sex education is considered as one of the main aspect of education that overlook in Iran. We used systematic review for answering three questions related to definition and conceptualization of sex education, sex education curriculum and skills and investigating the effectiveness of these programs. Findings of this study showed that sex education programs ranged from instruction for sexual protection to applying ethical methods for obtaining sexual health. Primary definitions of sex education were general and behavioral but as the time passed, this definition transform to culture-dependent definitions. Sex education program is effective for reducing unwanted pregnancy in adolescents and protecting from sexual abuse. It could conclude that adopting a holistic sexuality education that is characterized by applying psychological skill training methods and involvement of parents and school authorities, could fulfill the goals of sex education programs. Any sex education programs should modified based on the individual and cultural aspects to reach better success in guaranteeing sexual health for children.

For this purpose, the post- phenomenological method has been used to determine the Amplification and Reduction of education in Shad. The results show that educating in Shad, despite some advantages, such as more freedom and easier access at different times and places, can lead to specific experiences and behaviors different from face-to-face education. Virtual education can lead to reduced-complete-perception, presented as the optimal grip in this research. The type of relationship between teacher and students and among students are completely changed and reduced. Some undesirable behaviors such as secrecy, irresponsibility, and undermining social education are some examples. Also, due to the Multistbility of the mobile phone, the probability of distraction and sharing attention increase. Due to its non-educational structure, mobile phone motivates non-educational behaviors in students

Abstract
In the classrooms based on inclusive education, cognitive flexibility and teaching-learning concepts play an important role in teachers' self-efficacy. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of cognitive flexibility and teaching-learning concepts in teachers' self-efficacy in a classroom based on inclusive education. The research method was descriptive and correlational. Sampling was done by a simple random method from the list of names of teachers participating in inclusive education. Therefore, 467 primary teachers of the 9th district of Mashhad were selected. In order to collect data, teachers' self-efficacy questionnaires in inclusive education (TEIP, Sharma et al., 2012), cognitive flexibility questionnaire (CFI, Dennis and Vanderwaal, 2010) and the teaching-learning concepts questionnaire TLCQ (Chan Elwitt, 2004) was used. Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze data. Results showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between cognitive flexibility and the perception of self-efficacy related to inclusive education, as well as the concepts of constructivist learning and the perception of self-efficacy related to inclusive education (P < 0.01). Also, the results of multiple regression analysis showed the variables of cognitive flexibility and constructivist learning teaching concepts predict 36% of the total variance of teachers' self-efficacy. In general, teachers with cognitive flexibility and more developed teaching-learning concepts experience higher self-efficacy in classrooms based on inclusive education. The findings of this research emphasize the development of cognitive flexibility and teaching-learning concepts to improve the self-efficacy of teachers in the classroom based on inclusive education.

Abstract
One of the most important challenges facing education is to develop students' health and create a sense of attachment to the educational environment in them, which will lead to an increase in the quality of education and training. Architecture as a container of human behavior has a great impact on this matter. The organs of the building and the relationships that govern them are effective in the process of understanding, recognizing and then the way people respond to the environment. According to studies of mental health and environmental psychology, students quickly feel emotionally uncomfortable when dealing with certain educational spaces and feel homesick. People enter the attachment process faster with places in harmony with subconscious schemas. In this article, emphasizing the need for attachment to place in school design, this question is raised, recognizing cultural schemas in the collective subconscious of students and orienting them to design school architecture can increase students' mental health and promote a sense of attachment to educational places? The research method in this research is qualitative and analytical-descriptive. At first, the materials were collected in the form of library study, collect documents in the field of psychology and unconscious cognition and the stages of perception and cognition by it in the human mind, and then analyzed analytically. As a result, examining how students perceive space is effective in creating qualities such as "familiarity" and "identity." In this article, by looking at the category of the unconscious in the field of mental health and architecture and analyzing the collective unconscious schemas, it emphasizes the mechanism of its effect on how students recognize and interpret semantics. Collective help can help the cognition stage lead to the promotion of attachment to the place properly.

Abstract
Transforming the educational environment into a learning environment through combining education with new technologies and changing the role of educational components has been considered by educational thinkers. For this reason, the purpose of this article is to identify the poles of conflict in direct education and to provide strategies for empowering the disadvantaged poles. To achieve this goal, the six staged deconstruction method was used. The findings showed that there are changes in different dimensions of the direct education approach, including: 1- Changing the role of the teacher from a commanding mode and transferring knowledge to a facilitating mode of learning 2- Changing the role of the student from being passive and neglected in the learning cycle, to the active and responsible element in education 3- Changing the teacher-centered teaching method to a student-centered method such as project-based, exploratory, laboratory. 4. Changing the educational content from the monologue mode of the fixed book to the dialog mode and situations based on using the experiences of students, electronic content produced by both sides of the learning flow (teacher and student), social networks and internet sites 5- Changing the educational and physical environment of the classroom from its traditional state to a happy environment with maximum participation of learners in learning process, 5- changing the evaluation from the paper-pencil mode to a combination of different methods such as using electronic and self-assessment methods. These changes indicate a change in the perspective in this regard that the necessary trend to change the education and the emergence of the flipped classroom approach has been provided. Using the features of the flipped classroom, we achieve a new concept of learning to meet the needs of the learners of the digital age.
