Abstract
One of the main issues to be considered in the educational system is education. Education is the result of four elements which are interacting with each other. These four elements are: teaching, learning, structure and curriculum. Curriculum is a plan for action which forms the structure. Another issue is the status of knowledge and the way we can transform it into educational materials. In postmodern education, knowledge itself is not the target, and the “knowledge constructive discourse” is rather a target. For this reason the main concentration in the classrooms are on knowledge construction, understanding, cooperation and collaboration. The educational systems of the countries have to reconsider the targets, contents, materials, methods and also the educational opportunities and activities in order to educate independent and flexible students who have creative thinking. Curriculum planning and presenting various issues have been done for a long time. In early twentieth century, the scholars in education and training stepped into the realm of integrated curriculum. But the dominated trend in this century has been based on single discipline approach, plurality of subjects, and Discipline-based curriculum. Integration means making compatibility and coming together which is in contradiction with specializing and separating courses. Integration is based on holistic view which tries to make relations between education and daily life. The present study aims to explain integrated curriculum, declare the types of it, and the way to integrate science and technologies in the primary school courses. This research enjoys analytical- inductive methodologies. In this way, first we declare the curriculum and explain integration, and then we refer to the samples of integration in area of content, like integration of fundamental issues and knowledge, and integration of information technology and communication with all areas of knowledge. Based on the studies and analysis, we can conclude that: integration of science and technology with curriculum in general and specifically in primary education, the learning rate and the possession of students on organized content will increase and students can work out what they have learnt in real life.

Abstract
The most fundamental move to enhance the quality of critical thinking in students is the improvement of motivation to think, as the key to success in life and study. This is because acquiring the skills involved in critical thinking, in the process of official curriculum, cannot guarantee the development of these skills, and consequently, their application in different situations. Therefore, one of the most useful steps with this regard is the enhancement of the attitudinal aspects of critical thinking, paying attention to the function of hidden curriculum in higher education-something which could be in the opposite direction to official curriculum. Thus, the present study, by benefiting from the method of documentary analysis, while clarifying the position of hidden curriculum in higher education and studying its relation to critical thinking, offers the analysis of the apparatus of effects and the use of hidden curriculum in the development of critical thinking. With this regard, it is discussed that the function of hidden curriculum in higher education is due to the fluctuation in the official curriculum-which by itself is due to: lack of a complete legislation of this program in higher education, relation between hidden curriculum and the dimension of critical thinking and attention paid to hidden curriculum in liberal education with an inclination towards critical thinking. In addition, the hidden curriculum, developed out of a dialectical methodology is studied to investigate the development of critical thinking of the learners.

Abstract
From the perspective of a principal, Jalal al-Ahmad looks at the educational issues of school and community together and seeks to solve the problems of community and school in relation to each other and from within the school. The article seeks to explore his thoughts and ideas in school principal of solving community problems from within the school. For this purpose, a descriptive-analytical method was used. The results showed that in the field of thinking, the elements of godliness, heresy and religious spirits have influenced Al-Ahmad's management style in school. Jalal al-Ahmad's epistemology, in his view of the objective and real issues of the school and the society around it, is reminiscent of social realism, which blends in with his critical approach. His view of man can be explained from the two perspectives of the existing man and the desirable man. The existing human being suffers from aimlessness or, in the path of the goal he pursues, loses his original identity and needs to be reformed. In his view, the desirable man is diligent, demanding change, and devoting himself to discovery, along with a desire to revive indigenous traditions. Value components include a tendency toward conscience, responsibility, purity, and traditionalism, which are crystallized in school management. In the light of these ideas, his general purpose is to establish a relationship between tradition and modernity and to reform society through the small school community. To achieve these goals, he emphasizes motivational and content-based curriculum content and community teaching methods, in which educational evaluation is conducted continuously and out of the context.

Abstract
This research aims to review the historical studies on the curriculum in Iran from 1993 to 2021. The relevant papers were searched for in reputable Iranian databases (i.e., Noor Mags, Scientific Information Database (SID), Magiran, and Comprehensive Portal of Human Sciences). The search keywords were “history of the curriculum”, “historical dimensions of the curriculum”, and “historical curriculum”. The papers published in reputable Iranian scientific research quarterlies (validated by the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology) were reviewed and evaluated qualitatively through a checklist. In this review study, 40 papers were identified. Finally, 15 papers were included after all titles, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and texts were checked. The historical studies on the curriculum in Iran were divided into two categories: conventional historical studies on curriculum and modern historical studies on curriculum. The conventional historical studies on curriculum addressed the formation of different curricular elements through a narrative method from an old-fashioned perspective. However, modern historical studies on curriculum analyzed the matter through a novel historical method using analysis and criticism. In addition to presenting studies in both categories, a quarterly should be published on the history of the curriculum to conduct systematic studies on the chronicles of curricula. Given the limited number of historical studies on the curriculum in Iran, greater emphasis must be given to research on this area.

Abstract
The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between quantum teaching and constructivism with curriculum decision-making by elementary teachers in Babolsar city. The design of the current research; Quantitative and descriptive-surveillance method and the statistical population included 240 elementary school teachers of Babolsar city, and 143 people were selected as a sample based on Morgan's sampling table. The research tools were adapted from the standard constructivism questionnaire of Mohammadi, Abedini Baltrok and Mansoori (2018), the standard questionnaire of Hajitabar firouzjaee's curriculum decision-making (2018) and the researcher-made questionnaire of quantum teaching. The validity of the tool was 97%, 86% and 97% respectively, and the reliability of the tool through Cronbach's alpha was 94%, 98% and 96%. Data analysis was done with descriptive statistics (standard deviation and mean) and inferential (Pearson's correlation coefficient statistical test and multiple regression at the same time). The results showed that there is a difference between quantum teaching and curriculum decision-making (r = 0.653), between constructivism and curriculum decision-making (r = 0.763) and between quantum teaching and curriculum decision-making (r = 0.652). There is a significant relationship at the 0.05 level in Babolsar elementary school. Also, the results showed that being constructivist can predict the way of curriculum decision-making (centralized/decentralized) of elementary school teachers in Babolsar city.
