امروزه باتوجه به بحرانهای زیستمحیطی موجود که بسیاری از آنها به موجب عدم داشتن سواد محیطزیستی انسانها می باشد باید دغدغه اصلی آموزش و پرورش این باشد که دانشآموزان درمدرسه تحت تأثیر برنامه درسی پنهان چه تجاربی را کسب می کند. زیرا این برنامه درسی اثراتی به مراتب عمیقتر از برنامه درسی آشکار در ایجاد نگرشها ، رویکردها و ارزشها در دانشآموزان دارد .بنابراین هدف پژوهش حاضر بررسی تجارب زیست شده دانش آموزان از برنامه درسی پنهان آموزش محیط زیست می باشد و به معنای دیگر به دنبال دستیابی به این پدیده و ترسیم ابعاد آن به گونهای که درذهن دانش آموزان نقش می بندد، بوده است. روش پژوهش کیفی از نوع پدیدارشناسی بود که با مصاحبه نیمه ساختار یافته انجام شده است. روش نمونه گیری هدفمند بوده و حجم نمونه براساس اشباع نظری داده ها مشخص شد. تحلیل دادههای به دست آمده از مصاحبهها در این پژوهش، برنامه درسی پنهان آموزش محیط زیست را در زمینه های ساختار فیزیکی، ساختار اجتماعی، ساختار دیوانسالارانه، ساختار فرهنگی، ساختار خانوادگی ، ساختار فردی و ساختار برون سازمانی به دست داد. همچنین یافتهها نشان داد از نظر تجربه زیست شده دانش آموزان از برنامه درسی پنهان، بیشترین سواد محیطزیستی از ساختار اجتماعی (تعامل با معلم) و سپس ساختار خانوادگی و ساختار دیوان سالارانه حاصل شده است.

The best way to make individuals more conscious of the concerns and difficulties facing society is through education. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of tourists' experiences on environmental education through the resonance of the nature tourism destination brand and environmental education to visitors. The knowledge of the environment among tourists can be raised through travel and nature tourism. People's knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding the environment are influenced by their experiences in the environment. The host society suffers when tourism numbers exceed an area's ecological capacity, which lowers the quality of the tourism experience. If this problem is ignored, society will face social and environmental challenges. The greatest and most efficient method for educating people and instilling a sense of responsibility in them is through environmental education. The sample size was determined by Cochran's formula of 384 people. The sample technique was convenience sampling, and the study's statistical population consisted solely of domestic tourists to Borujerd city. Expert judgments validated the research's validity, while Cronbach's alpha assessed its reliability. Through the resonance of the nature tourism destination brand and environmental education to tourists, as well as the resonance of the nature tourism brand on public environmental education, the research findings demonstrated that tourists experience has a positive and significant effect on environmental education.

Considering the importance of the hotel industry in tourism system and the necessity of social responsibilities, since there is no social responsibility model in the hotel industry in literature, this research formed to provide a model that fits Iran’s conditions. This is a kind of survey research, which is done with a mix method approach. At the first phase, by means of interviews, the views of 4 and 5 star hotel managers in Tehran about the influential factors, strategies and consequences were collected, categorized and finally codified in the form of a model. In the quantitative phase, the components of the model were examined and confirmed in terms of validity and reliability, and the paths determined in the model was also statistically examined, modified and confirmed in the necessary cases. The overall goodness of fit of the model was confirmed according to the SRMR index. According to this model social responsibility in the hotel industry is influenced by driving factors (strategic commitment, considering stakeholders and moral commitment) which are influenced by contextual conditions. Strategies to achieve this goal include strategies in different fields (human resources, marketing, communication, green management, etc.) that are weakened or strengthened with intervening conditions (executive and managerial conditions, cultural conditions, media and communication conditions, and government facilitation) consequences of the implementing social responsibility include economic, social, environmental and organizational sustainability. The contribution of this research is knowledge enhancement which can be seen in the integration of the conditions affecting social responsibility, the strategies and consequences of the implementation of strategies in the form of a coherent model that has not been studied so far.
