Abstract
"Teaching-Learning Approach" is a model of interaction between teachers and students in an educational environment and one of the main components of the educational system. This model can be organized and designed on the basis of various opinions and ideas, including philosophical or scientific theories. This research aims to design and explain teaching-learning approach based on the complexity paradigm. The complexity paradigm is one of the contemporary scientific approaches that is penetrating into different areas of knowledge such as education. Therefore, in this descriptive-analytical study, based on the concepts and components of the complexity paradigm, the teaching-learning approach is as follows: in teaching-learning approach based on complexity paradigm, the steps and sequence of teacher and student activities are strategic for continuous organization of all learning and teaching processes and activities performed through cooperation of students and the teacher. In other words, the teacher designs and organizes the learning environment in a rich and complex way, leading the student to research and learning; So the student is an active and researcher; A researcher who constantly organizes and reorganizes in interaction with the learning environment and actually learns and develops. Hence, the relationship between teacher and students is dynamic and multifaceted based on the variety and extension of their interactions with each other and environment.

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.
