Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate the views of experts in relation to the personal theorizing and its role in teaching excellence. In this regard, among the professors who had scientific experience and works were selected and interviewed. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview. Interviews were conducted face-to-face and virtual. After coding, the collected data was analyzed using the categorization method. The results showed that from the point of view of most of the professors, having experience, knowledge and scientific awareness are among the prerequisites for personal theorizing. Also, the professors believed that the relationship between general theories and personal theorizing is in three forms: whole to part, integrated, and technical-artistic. According to the professors' point of view, increasing knowledge and improving professors' performance are the most important opportunities, and the lack of experience of professors is the most important challenge to personal theorizing.

Abstract
In this research, one of the views of the Islamic curriculum proposed by Hashim has been described, analyzed and criticized. In the analysis, it was found that she considered the curriculum as a document and system. Her view on religious science is influenced by al-Attas' view. Accordingly, she considers science as a religious one in condition that it is free from Western elements and replaced by Islamic propositions. She seeks to design and develop a curriculum that places particular emphasis on Islamic goals and content. The most important criticisms indicates the neglect and lack of theoretical explanation of philosophical and methodological foundations, reliance on formalist views, Neglecting the curriculum as a field of study, being under the banner of the discourse of existing Western sciences. Hence, the important need of this field today is to go beyond the passive encounter, which is based on the adaptation, refinement and formalistic completion of existing Western knowledge, and to turn to reactive and proactive encounters that seek to provide theoretical formulations. New development of curriculum knowledge boundaries from an Islamic perspective is essential.

It even happens very often that students by drawing a geometric figure, no longer see the need to prove the properties of that class of geometric objects. This study has been done by the aim of describing middle school students' performance and perceptions during understanding and doing geometric proof for gaining a more detailed cognition of gradual processes and complexities in the learning geometric proof.
The research has been conducted by phenomenography method and analyzing task-based interviews on 53 middle school students. This report describes students’ performance and their challenges during constructing a geometric proof in more detail.

Abstract
In order to fully understand the concept of fraction, all of its sub-constructs must be considered and interrelated. The purpose of this study is to examine the presence of these sub-constructs and their level of use in elementary mathematics textbooks in Iran. A content analysis study based on Kieren's sub-constructs framework with five categories, namely; part-whole, measurement, ratio, quotient, and operator, was conducted to analyze all 2-6 grades’ mathematics textbooks’ activities and problems in chapters related to the concept of fraction. The results of the analysis showed that the most used sub-constructs respectively are: Part-Whole (49%), Measurement (22%), Ratio (16%), Operator (11%), Quotient (1%). There is very little attention given to the sub-construct of ‘quotient’ in these textbooks. Moreover, the potential of some sub-constructs has not been fulfilled.

Abstract
This study analyzes Iranian research on science education curriculum focusing on the nature of science.How the nature of science has been addressed in Iranian research on science education curriculum is question. This study was conducted with a qualitative approach and by reviewing Iranian studies. 32 documents were examined and analyzed. The review and analysis indicate that Iranian studies have mainly focused and pay a lot of attention to the intended curriculum, at the expense of sidelining the implemented and acquired curricula.There is little field research from classrooms and a huge gap in interpretive research Also, there is almost no research on teaching the nature of science to primary students.Classroom activities and learners' experiences in educational environments are an integral part of the curriculum, therefore, it is necessary to conduct qualitative field research, such as ethnography, for gaining a deeper understanding of the implemented and experienced levels of the curriculum.
