The purpose of this study is to present a conceptual model for green management with a sustainable development approach. The current research is developmental in terms of purpose, and this study was conducted based on the grounded theory methodology. The participants included 26 experts in the field of environment, experienced principals of secondary schools, sustainable development experts in the Department of Education of East Azerbaijan Province, and professors with knowledge in the field of green management from Azad University and Tabriz University. In order to achieve theoretical saturation in the semi-structured interview, the sample was selected purposefully and by snowball method. The validity of the data was confirmed with acceptability, transferability, verifiability, and reliability. Strauss and Corbin's three-stage coding process (open, central, selective) with MAXQDA software was applied to analyze data. The results of the research indicate that the causal factors affecting the green management of secondary schools include green futurism, the establishment of the environmental management system, and strategic developments. Functional isolation, limitations, professional health barriers, and lack of commitment are intervening factors. Sustainable transportation, use of clean technology, saving energy, and managing water consumption and waste are identified as actions. Total quality management implementation, social impacts, and performance improvement are extracted as outcome factors. Finally, the results of the selective coding showed that the main factors are teaching the protection of basic resources and the environment, the development of green technology, and sustainable culture to modify the consumption pattern.

Environmental education (EE) raises awareness of issues impacting the environment upon which we all depend, as well as actions we can take to improve and sustain it. This study investigated the degree of consistency among the environmental components of the intended and implemented curricula belonged to the fifth grade Experimental Science textbook. The methodology in the first part was content analysis, while in the second part was a survey. The statistical population consisted of the fifth grade Experimental Science textbook and 120 fifth grade teachers of primary schools in Sari. The intended curriculum has been examined through the analysis of the objectives and the content of the Experimental Science textbook, and the implemented curriculum has been examined via a researcher-made questionnaire. Chi-square and one-sample t-test were run in data analysis process. The results indicated that with respect to the objectives, there was not any significant difference among the components of the environmental education. However, regarding the content, there was a significant difference among the components of the environmental education. However, there was a significant difference among the contents of the environmental components of the fifth grade Experimental Science course. Moreover, regarding the environmental components and the teachers’ opinions, there was a significant difference between the intended and implemented curricula, and hence not any consistency between the two. Therefore, due to the existing inconsistency, it is necessary for the Editing Council of the Experimental Science Book, as well as the school principals and teachers to put more efforts into reducing such inconsistency.

The main issue in the present study is the design and validation of a sustainability education model in the competencies of primary school mathematics courses, an education that build capacity and create comprehensive programs to balance the dimensions of sustainability in mathematics lessons as an educational field to cultivate and discipline and increase the power of thought and logical reasoning along with the growth of mental creativity to achieve a sustainable society with a plan and problem-solving capability. This research is applied in terms of purpose and is a qualitative-quantitative research (mixed) with an exploratory approach. First, the most important components of math lessons stability training were identified and extracted by documentary study method. Cognitive, evaluation and functional categories with 26 sub-categories in mathematical competencies in sustainability education were selected and the proposed model was presented. A questionnaire model with 112 items was designed to validate the main elements. Content validity (CVR) and its reliability were confirmed by Cronbach's alpha and provided to 38 experts. The validation of the proposed model was performed through the PLS structural equation modelling. Based on the findings, the functional dimension had the highest share in explaining the model. Development of knowledge and skills related to communities and environment in " explaining the cognitive dimension," "developing problem solving skills" in the evaluation dimension and" designing effective methods to meet personal needs and inequalities" in the functional dimension, had the highest shares among the other studied components. It also showed that the structural model of sustainability education in primary mathematics courses had a good fit. Therefore, it can be concluded that the inclusion of sustainability concepts in the curriculum in mathematics courses with an interdisciplinary approach can be effective in applying innovative strategies in the learning process and paying attention to problem solving and problem statement in the real world.

Architectural engineering is an interdisciplinary course. It has a strict relation with civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering. This study focuses on the status of sustainability in two different syllabuses of the architecture bachelor’s courses in Iran. Content analysis approach was applied along with conceptual and rational methods for the analysis of mentioned syllabuses by using Maxqda software. In the first stage, conceptual analysis was performed by using some codes related to social, economic, and environmental sustainability. In the second stage, the architecture expert panel compared sustainability criteria and their education in two syllabuses as a rational content analysis. The results of the research indicated a significant difference between the former and the present architectural engineering syllabuses: Conceptual content analysis proved that environmental implications in the new syllabus were decreased in comparison to the former syllabus. Conceptual content analysis also indicated that cultural-social and economic codes in the new syllabus increased considerably. The rational content analysis demonstrated that cultural-social implication decreased in the new syllabus, while environmental and economic values were emphasized in the new syllabus compared to the former one. Finally, it was concluded that the application of tangible design methods for sustainable architecture education, integration of quantitative and qualitative design criteria, and sustainable integrated design approaches should be added to the syllabuses of architectural engineering education.

The purpose of the present study was to analyze the content of educational network educational videos and experimental science books of the first elementary school in terms of their attention to the environmental protection education. The research method was quantitative and descriptive content analysis based on the categories of environmental protection and also the statistical population included 52 educational network videos and new experimental science books written in the first year of elementary school in the academic year 2020-2021. The statistical sample was considered equal to the statistical population. The sample was analyzed based on 9 main categories and 33 sub-categories by deductive coding method. The research tool was a checklist of environmental protection education categories, so that the initial checklist was first selected from Keramati and Ahmadabadi (2018) research and its validity was confirmed by experts. To ensure the reliability of the measuring instrument, the Holstie formula was used and the agreement percentage was 78.1%. The findings showed that the content of the study did not address natural and artificial soil pollutants and light pollutants. The other two grades were significantly lower, and this limitation in the third grade is considered as a weakness for the educational content in this grade. Also, in general, the films of Shad Network paid more attention to the environmental protection education than the science books of the first elementary school. The principles of sequence and continuity were not observed in the compilation of the studied content in the first elementary period.

Natural environment and its troubles are prevalent. Environment conservation requires appropriate pro-environmental behaviors. Thus, this paper aimed to investigate the environmental behavior (EB) and its relationship to environmental concern, using environmental awareness Informative resources and some demographic factors such as gender and age among Iranian university students (the case of Shiraz University students). Using a survey method and a structured questionnaire, 400 students were studied in Iran. The environmental behavior scale (Mirfardi et al., 2017) and self- administered environmental concern scale were used for measuring the variables. The samples were selected via clustering sampling with the appropriated size. Face validity and factor analysis were used for the validity and Croanbach’s Alpha (environmental behavior= 0.55; environmental concern= 0.77; use of environmental awareness informative resources, 0.68) for the reliability evaluation. Findings showed that there was a direct and significant relationship between the variables of age, and environmental concern as well as the environmental awareness informative resources as independent variables and the pro-environmental behavior as the dependent variable (p. < o.oo1) Also, the environmental behavior variable showed a significant difference with the gender variable. This study showed that environmental concern, and age have important roles in the formation of environmental behavior.

This study aimed to investigate the fitness of the mediating role of environmental experience, environmental values, and environmental identity in the relationship between gender and environmentally conscious behavior of second high school students in Yazd. For this purpose, a quantitative research design with a correlation approach was used. data collected from a sample of 348 students through multi-stage cluster sampling using Allen's (2013) environmental experience scale as well as environmental values scale by Tronu et al (2011), Clayton's (2003) environmental identity scale, and environmentally conscious behavior scale by Kaiser & Wilson (2004). The validity and reliability of the scales were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis and principal components method and Cronbach's alpha with SPSS24 software and showed relatively good characteristics in the Iranian sample. In the model analysis, structural equation modeling with maximum likelihood method and with Amos24 software was used. The results showed that the direct effect of environmental identity on environmentally conscious behavior was positive, the effect of gender and self-transcendence value orientation on environmental identity was positive, the effect of environmental experience on environmental identity was negative, the effect of gender on self-transcendence value orientation was negative and the effect of environmental experience on self-transcendence and self-enhancement value orientation was positive and significant. The results also showed that environmental identity was a positive and serial indirect effect of environmental identity and self-transcendence value orientation in the relationship between gender and environmentally conscious behavior was negative and significant. The results showed that environmental identity has an important role in the formation of environmentally conscious behavior and the effect of gender on environmentally conscious behavior is facilitated through environmental identity.

This study was carried out to test the necessity of the alignment between wisdom and transcendental decisiveness to solve environmental crises. Hence, collectine wisdom in the form ethical codes could not solely resolve these crises. In addition, cognitive scientists believe that some beliefs, especially religious beliefs, play the same role; otherwise, scientific theories would not be able to manage environmental disasters. The alignment of ethical codes with common sense and transcendental decisiveness is the necessary condition for resolving environmental crises. Additionally, UNESCO, by end of the second millennium recommended the universities around the world to prepare in advance their students according to local epistemic to make sustainability happen in the 3thmillennium.Forthese reasons, a descriptive-survey research method was carried out among agricultural college students of Shiraz University. The results showed that the “ethical complex” including 4 ethical indexes which were used in this study, had strong correlation with students’ environmental ethics; as well as, students’ general environmental knowledge. These strong relationships confirm the necessity of considering science with intent and metaphysical cognition to manage environment disasters. To save time and costs, this “ethical complex” could be considered as a bench mark to study ethics in among the universities across the Country, periodically to find an Environmental Ethics Scale for Iranian Universities (EESIU).

Considering the establishment of project management engineering in the country by the author, this article focuses on how to design a curriculum and important issues to be considered in the curriculum of civil engineering and project management and its objective is to promote the level of graduates who are not only unaware of the need for sustainable development, but also do not meet the aspirations of industrial organizations, professionals, and academics. This paper is an applied research based on a case study extracted from research findings. To achieve this objective, a review has been conducted to determine the main areas under study in sustainable development and the concept of sustainability in order to be included in the curriculum planning and course titles, and special attention has been paid to the role of civil engineering and project management. Preliminary data were collected using a review of important articles and credible evidence, specifically on studies in two case studies, one on the Civil Engineering and Project Management program at the University of the North East of England and the other in central Italy, which have been successful. The results based on the above research method have led to the design of a table with basic components to be considered in the civil engineering and project management curriculum in the country, which is self-applied and includes a proposed framework in 9 areas and 75 categories for inclusion in the curriculum of the mentioned disciplines as the output of this research.

The research method in this study was the survey method that uses simple random sampling, 350 high school students from Babol (Mazandaran province) were selected as a sample for study. Required information for this research was collected by using questionnaires and in spring 2012. Research data processed by using SPSS statistical software, where analytical and descriptive statistics were analyzed. The results showed that students' awareness of environmental problems in general is high, and in specific environmental problems is low. Also, there are significant differences, between environmental behaviors in different educational levels, but this difference was not observed among different fields of study. Finally, the findings showed that new environmental attitude has a positive impact on environmental protection behavior, but knowledge and environmental education has little impact on environmental behavior. This research examines the possible reasons for this matter.

In this study, the effects of socio-demographic characteristics of the family on the students’ environmental ethics (children of the families) were assessed. The aim of the study was to gather and publish useful information about environmental factors especially education and culture as one of the most important issues of the population and country developments. In this descriptive study, all the high school students 1391-92 of Abhar, Zanjan were recruited. The population included 4467 persons, and based on the Morgan’s table, 360 persons were randomly selected using two-step cluster method. The research instrument was a structured questionnaire consisting two parts "socio-demographic characteristics of the family" and "environmental ethics of the students." Validity of the questionnaire was assessed by a group of consulting professors and specialists of environmental education, and the reliability was pretested among 30 students, and was finally approved with the Cronbach's alpha coefficient 0.771. Analyzing the results of the questionnaires, none of the variables including: number of children, parental educations, parental occupations, real estate or rental houses, and being emigrants or citizens had a significant relationship with the level of environmental ethics of the students. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to the environmental educations in new plans for the population organizing of the country, particularly concerning the importance of environmental ethics in providing a better future, in addition to the effort of improving the socio-demographic characteristics of the society.
