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 purpose of this study was to examine the compatibility of the intended, implemented, and acquired curriculum in the humanities and environment course. This research used a simultaneous mixed method (using both quantitative and qualitative techniques in a single study). The population of the study consisted of all 896 students of grade 11 in 1400-1399 academic years in Ghaen. In the qualitative part of the study, grade 11 teachers were also added to the population. Using Morgan's table, 265 students were selected as a sample. Based on cluster random sampling, a number of 11th-grade students from each school were selected. In the qualitative part, purposeful sampling was used to select only those who had more than five years of teaching experience. The data collection tools were a researcher-made questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The data was analyzed by a one-sample t-test. The results revealed that there is a statistical correlation between the intended and implemented curriculum. There is also a relationship between the intended and acquired curriculum. According to the findings of the research, it can be said that despite the change in the educational approach from face-to-face to virtual and no change in the curriculum, The teachers as the implementers of the curriculum, had been able to take steps toward the adaptation of the implemented and acquired curriculum with the intended curriculum and were successful in this matter.

The purpose of this study is to validate the model of environmental ethics curriculum based on social constructivism in secondary school. This is an applied research with a descriptive survey method. The statistical population of the study is all secondary school teachers in Mazandaran province with 11024 people (5692 men and 5332 women). The research sample includes 360 secondary school teachers who were selected by multi-stage relative cluster sampling with Cochran's formula. As a data collection tool, a researcher-made social constructivism questionnaire with 23 items on a five-point Likert scale was used. Content validity was used to determine the validity of the questionnaires and composite reliability was used to determine the reliability of the questionnaires, which had a suitable and acceptable status. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to analyze the data with SPSS and PLS software. The results showed that the objective components, content, teaching-learning activities, and evaluation are effective in explaining the model of environmental ethics curriculum based on social constructivism and the model had a good fit. Environmental ethics curriculum based on social constructivism allows students to be actively involved; they also focus on thinking and understanding rather than just memorizing and the model makes them perform better. Using this approach, basic learning activities can take place in the real-world context (nature) so students' constructivism is stimulated.

The present study aims to investigate the components of the human and nature relationship in the human and health cluster curriculum in secondary high school. Because of the importance emphasized in “The Fundamental Reform Document” and “The National Curriculum” by the Ministry of Education, the subjects of “Human and Health” were considered strongly to be in the secondary school curriculum by the curriculum planners. If the content of these courses is tailored to the educational needs of students, it can play an effective role in improving the relationship between human and nature. The main question of this study: What are the features of the relationship between humans and nature in the curriculum with the subjects of humans and health in the second year of high school? The descriptive-analytical method of this research has been done manually by Shannon's entropy content analysis. The statistical population of the research was the secondary high-school human and health textbooks and their teacher guide in the year 2020-2021. The content of the study was (all books),7162 primary codes obtained and 15 main components, and 161 sub-components. Findings show that the greatest attention was paid to the highest information load and significance coefficient (WJ) of the authority (0.163), ecotourism (0.127), water (0.108), relief and rescue (0.107), biodiversity (0.1), air (0.093), waste (0.091), energy (0.079), soil (0.051), religious belief and national (0.027), soft war (0.025) and the lowest coefficient of the importance of the component is the stable security (0.006), Welfare and Social Security (0.003), nutrition and health (0.012), lifestyle (0.01). The findings of the present study indicate the revision of the curriculum of the Human and Health cluster is an undeniable necessity.

Unfortunately, nowadays, the environment has faced many challenges, and addressing these challenges requires rethinking, re-creating, and repairing in order to preserve human life on Earth. Environmental education, especially in schools, has an undeniable role to play in alleviating these problems. The way of teaching, especially active teaching methods, has a great effect on students' self-learning abilities, one of the most important of which is the cooperative method. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the teacher-assistant plan on the transfer of environmental concepts to 11th-grade high school students in Kashan. The research method was quantitative and based on the quasi-experimental method. The population of the study consisted of all male students of 11th-grade public schools in Kashan, 1171 people, who were selected using the available sampling method of two classes of 30 people. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data, the content validity of which was confirmed by environmental experts, and its reliability was obtained using Cronbach's alpha coefficient equal to 0.87. Data were analyzed at two levels, descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance) with SPSS26 software. The results showed that education based on the teacher-assistant plan is effective in transmitting environmental concepts and their components (excluding sound and biodiversity and tourism) to students. Therefore, it is possible to increase the quantity and quality of the transfer of environmental concepts in students by using appropriate teaching methods, the overflow of which can improve the environmental level of society.

Acquiring environmental knowledge is the first step towards environmental sustainability, and basically, the condition for the future survival of humanity is environmental knowledge, the ability to understand the principles of knowing the environment and living based on them. Green school standards, which include physical space, organizational culture, and educational goals, provide an overview of a green school. One of the important duties of green schools is to provide a suitable field for environmental education for students. The aim of the current study is to identify the challenges of evaluating environmental education in green schools in Iran. In this paper using a survey method challenges were identified and investigated and then the data were analyzed by using SPSS software. After calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient between the variables and the determination coefficient, the research hypotheses have been examined using the correlation coefficient significance test. The results show that only the diversity of educational content and ambiguity in information sources are considered challenges in evaluating environmental education in green schools. Together, these two variables can predict up to %18.1 of the variance of challenges.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of teaching philosophy to children on epistemological beliefs and learning environmental concepts in 11th- grade students. The research method was quasi-experimental and pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical population consisted of 11th- grade students in Arak city, 44 of whom were selected by convenience sampling method and were randomly divided into two groups of 22 control and experimental groups. Subjects in the experimental group were taught human and environmental lessons for 12 sessions based on the principles of the philosophy for children program. Whereas in the control group the training method was conventional. Data collection tools were Schumer's Epistemological Beliefs Questionnaire (1990) and a researcher-made environmental concept test. Analysis of covariance was used for data analysis. The results showed that applying philosophy in the children programs had a positive and significant effect on epistemological beliefs and their components as well as learning environmental concepts of students (p = 0.001). Based on the results of the study, it is suggested to incorporate the principles of philosophy for children in the curriculum rather than being implemented separately.

A great deal of the country’s energy resources are wasted for a number of reasons including inappropriate technology, low price of energy, and carelessness in energy consumption. Women can change the course of risky behaviors against environment. We decided to inform rural women, of the optimized energy consumption patterns and examine the effect of material and immaterial incentives on them. This was a semi-experimental study. There was no sampling, so all the women of Cheshmeh Sefid village in Kermanshah, who were over 13 years of age and made up a population of 68 women were studied. The instrument of the study was a 23- item questionnaire. Then they were randomly divided into two groups. One group was studied using material and the second used immaterial incentives. Improvement of these women’s awareness proved a positive effect. Regarding the awareness raise, there was no significant difference between learning and the kind of incentive. Material incentives proved to be more effective than immaterial incentives.

Following the Earth Conference in 1992 and the preparation of Agenda 21 and Its 36th chapter which is about environmental education and training for sustainable development, and regarding four main themes of this chapter, all implying the stability of training, and also, because we are in the decade of education for sustainable development now, all countries have tried to design and suggest ways for the stability of education. Therefore, in this conference all countries unanimously agreed upon “training of sustainable development in schools as a whole”. This approach put emphasis on implementation of what has been learned to reduce the gap between values in action through integrating formal and informal training programs .In “schools as a whole” approach which is sustainable school in essence, it is necessary to consider a framework for sustainable school with emphasis on its dimensions and indexes. In this article, all of these items have been described completely, and in the end, it has been concluded that training for sustainable development in schools is in it’s initial phase and the managers have come to understood it’s necessary, but there is no clear framework for its implementation.
