Abstract
Curriculum theorizing is the methodology of the theory development. We recognize, two approaches to curriculum theorizing; explanation and understanding. Explanation resemble the processes of theorizing like natural scientist does and understanding is an approach to theorizing with its personal engagement consideration, uniqueness evolve from the complexity of and unrepeatable educational phenomena. In this article, two main ideas, objectivism-reductionism, subjectivism-mystrianism and a branch of the second idea so called; conceptualism are examined. It is argued that all three ideas are corresponding with the explanation or understanding and so their deficiency in human life is determined. It is argued that neurophenomenology could be considered as a remedy for the fragmental deficiency and incompetence of the current dominant positions in curriculum theorizing. We called the neurophenomenology inspired theorizing as; "understanding explanation" and explain it in reference to the Varrellas, Varela's methodology of reciprocal constraints.

Abstract
In the new internship program for Iranian Teacher Educaton Courses, a key role for the "supervisor" has been taken into account. This paper attempts to recapture the experience of living masters of the Guide, which has experience in implementing all the internship programs (1-4) that participated in its first implementation, through an interview with 26 people in 11 provinces of the country. The basis of this is the image of the internship program. The experience of this group shows that internship programs have been "accepted" and have been able to help develop student literacy competences, increase the ability of guidance teachers, and even improve the knowledge of guidance professors. However, the implementation of the first part of this program is accompanied by problems of implementation and support, and the professors of the internship guide believe that "the new internship program should be maintained" and, in some respects, "be amended".

Abstract
In this research we investigated female elementary students’ level of mastery over science and mathematics content and explained the nature of relationship between students’ level of mastery and learnability of content in science and mathematics. 914 female students of public senior elementary schools in Kashan were recruited. The needed data for fourth and fifth graders were gathered through researcher-made tests; the data related to sixth graders were gathered through standard exams taken from the students of this grade in the end of semester. Content validity of tests was verified by connoisseur teachers in each grade and was confirmed by structural equation modelling. For explaining the quantitative findings, we implemented 9 interviews with experienced and expert teachers which were selected through purposeful sampling method. The main analysis revealed that students learning is significantly lower than the mastery level in almost half of the science syllabus and all of the mathematics syllabus.

The research was designed through employing qualitative approach and phenomenography to better understand the challenges which elementary teachers had with evaluation of “mathematics” as one of the subject matters. The participants of the study were 24 elementary teachers who voluntarily participated in this study. The data were collected through semi- structured interviews, a focus group and researchers’ field notes and their interactive discussions about interviews and focus group. Four main categories of challenges were identified: “policy- making”, “executive- education”, “conceptual” and “social- cultural”. It is concluded that a clearer picture of challenges that elementary teachers encounter with this program while teaching mathematics needs to be presented. It is necessary for policy- makers and planners to find more rational solutions for these challenges.

Abstract
In this paper, I try to put forward a new model for curriculum evaluation, entitled ECCP (Evaluating Curriculum as a Complex Phenomenon), out of my perception of curriculum as a complex event. In the abovementioned model, various dimensions and aspects of curriculum (written, operationalized, experienced, tested, and flourished) are evaluated by three criteria (intended ideals, implicit elements, and overlooked aspects) which finally forms a 15-cell matrix. I firmly believe that evaluating and assessing curriculum as a complex phenomenon requires answers to the questions posed by each cell. It is also endorsed by the model that any evaluation plan ought to locate curriculum in context to offer meaningful results and findings.
