The purpose of this study is to design a curriculum pattern for environmental education for pre-primary school children and validate it from the viewpoint of specialists and educators. The curriculum of environmental education in the pre-school period includes curriculum objectives, curriculum content, curriculum teaching methods, and curriculum evaluation practices and the idea of integration was taken from Bahman Zandi's Language learning book (1394). This research, In terms of purpose, is applied, In terms of tools, it is a type of evaluation and the method of doing it is groundless. To determine the sample size required for designing the curriculum, a purposeful-judgment sampling was used from the statistical community of experts. The experts included curriculum specialists, the specialist in environmental education and kindergarten coaches. Also, the assessment and validation of the curriculum were based on the views of 45 coaches and managers of selected kindergartens in Rasht. The data gathering tool was a questionnaire which was designed based on the integrated curriculum design of environmental education and descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used for analyzing the data. In this study, four sections of curriculum design, designed curriculum implementation, Determining the effectiveness of the educational intervention, assessment, and validation of the curriculum designed to be examined separately. After validating all the items, 25 items in the curriculum section, 26 items in the curriculum content section, 7 items in the curriculum teaching methods and 6 items in the curriculum evaluation practices were obtained Which totally includes 64 items.

The purpose of this study was to assess the achievement of educational objectives for management of the crisis (environment) in the earthquake-stricken area of Kermanshah province. The research method of this paper is a survey, and the statistical population is the citizens living in SarPol-e-Zahab, the NGOs involved in the Kermanshah earthquake and environmentalists with a sample size of 525 people. The survey tool is a closed questionnaire with a Likert scale and a distance scale. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software, and the reliability of the questionnaire was determined through internal matching of the items (Cronbach's alpha). Findings showed that about 63% of respondents believe that awareness raising in the environmental field is essential, but 97% of respondents believe that triple action (government, NGO, and people) in the areas of the earthquake is not acceptable in the field of increasing awareness. Also, about 67% believe that promotion of knowledge in environmental issues is of great importance, with 80% of respondents acknowledging that the performance of this category in poorly seized areas has been weak. About 68% of respondents believe that positive attitudes toward environmental issues are necessary, and 72% think that the importance of this in earthquake areas is weak and very weak. Approximately 70% of respondents considered skills to be necessary, but 79% believed that the field was weak. In sum, the achievement of environmental education goals in a critical and realistic situation (SarPol-e- Zahab earthquake), which is considered in this paper, is in a fragile state.

Social networking today is an important factor in influencing public opinion and directing social cultures. Despite the many environmental crises around the world, environmental issues have more socio-cultural content than technical terms. Therefore, the ultimate goal of environmental protection in relation to the social environment is the development and increase of environmental awareness at the community level and the strengthening of the environmental culture at various levels of implementation. Accordingly, the main objective of the research is to investigate the role of the social network of telegrams in the culture of environmental values and rocks that were selected through random sampling from the 19 areas of education in Tehran. Three of the 340 teachers were selected for statistical sample size. In this research, an Internet questionnaire was used which individuals were assessed using the content provided in environmental education. To obtain the research findings, Tavlandand, Chi-square and multivariate regression models were used. The results of the research show that there is a reverse relationship between the amount of use and the actual perception of the content in the telegram, and there is a significant positive relationship between the amount of participation and activity of teachers in the use of telegrams and the environment of teachers. That is, the more use is increased the cultural prominence of their environment decreases. The findings also point to the fact that teachers use the telegram to fit their cultural needs.

The aim of this study is to analyze the role of “Islamic Republic of Iran’s National Strategic Plan on Climate Change” in 5 different sectors of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, water management, agriculture and food security, biological resources and health on knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) of the society for mitigation and adaptation to climate change. The research method is practical and it is descriptive-analytical study. According to the result of the study, all of three dimensions of KAP considered in 25 strategies of the 5 sectors, but they are not proportional. As of 229 programs of this plan, 24% and 26% are related to enhance the level of knowledge and attitude of community of Iran and 50% of programs are practical. The sectors with the highest and lowest proportion of programs related to the development of knowledge, are health sector (56%) and reducing greenhouse gas sector (8%) respectively. In addition, the sectors with the highest and lowest proportion of programs related to the enhance of attitude, are water management sector (44%) and health sector (12%). The most practical programs are relevant to agriculture and food security and reducing greenhouse gas sectors (60%) and the least practical programs are related to water management. It is suggested that knowledge and attitude of different stakeholders improve through education in order to practical programs that are more than 50% of the programs of this plan, become more effective.

Due to the presence of vocational and technical graduates in all economic activities, they should be trained in such a way that to be aware of the impact of their work and decision on the environment. In this regard, in this study we try to offer a fuzzy multiple attribute decision making model based on the environmental competency criteria for choosing an environmental education method in vocational and technical schools. For this purpose in the first by searching scientific resources, as well as discussions with experts, environmental competency criteria of technical and vocational graduates were identified, then three different questionnaires were designed for data collection and after distributing and collecting questionnaires among research experts, entropy Shanon method and hybrid DEMATEL-ANP approach were used for weighting and prioritizating of mentioned criteria. The results were used for ranking of environmental education methods using fuzzy Electre, fuzzy Topsis and fuzzy Saw. Since the results of the above-mentioned methods are not consistent with each other in some cases, for reaching a general consensus, the POSET method was used and finally, a fuzzy multiple attribute decision making model was proposed to select the best environmental education method in technical and vocational schools. The results show that prioritizing of environmental competency criteria is vary depending on the type of weighting techniques and group discussion is the most appropriate teaching method of environmental education.
