Educational policy is a type of public policy that can be done both at the school level and at the middle and macro levels of the educational system. However, schools are mainly implementers of educational policies. The current research has examined the infrastructures for the implementation of educational policies in schools. This study was based on a qualitative approach and thematic analysis method, by studying the attitudes and perceptions of experts, middle and operational managers. Based on the inclusion criteria, the perception of 14 people has been investigated using a semi-structured interview. The sampling method was purposeful snowball type. In order to verify the trustworthiness and accuracy of the research information, the reliability criterion was used with the review method by 10 participants and the review of 2 non-participating experts in the research. Data analysis was done by thematic analysis method of Esterberg. From data analysis, 142 codes, 5 themes and 36 sub-themes were obtained. Based on the themes extracted from the research, the infrastructures for implementing educational policies in schools are school administration, students and parents, resources and infrastructure, school planning, school interaction with local institutions. Schools are not only implementers of educational policies, but for the implementation of educational policies, they need appropriate infrastructure inside and outside the school.

The purpose of this study was to provide an indicator to estimate the probability of primary school children being exposed to school dropout based on the probit regression model and using the information of 8678 school dropouts and the same number of children in school. These variables can be divided into three categories: economic variables, non-economic variables and environmental variables. The estimation results showed that the signs of the coefficients of the variables are in accordance with theoretical and experimental expectations. For example, increasing the age of the child caregiver, the family size, or the fact that the child caregiver is a woman increases the chances of the child being left out of school. In the section on economic variables, the results show that the low monthly purchase rate, the low household income decile and the lack of a fixed income by the head of the household will also increase this probability. The results of the model estimate also showed that households covered by support institutions will have a lower chance of the child dropping out of school, which indicates the role of support institutions in improving social indicators. In poorer and less developed provinces, the child has a better chance of surviving school. From the point of view of good fitting statistics, the results of the model with a power of 83% is able to distinguish a child who is dropping out of school from a child who is not about to drop out of school.

In today's world, as citizenship is accepted as one of the characteristics of democratic systems, citizenship education is essential for the progress of society and its preservation. On the other hand, the diversity of concepts and topics around "citizen" shows that not only the phenomenon of citizenship is important, but this phenomenon is changing. Accordingly, since human beings are educated in different ways from birth and "education is the cornerstone of creation, preservation and progress of all human societies", citizenship education is required to achieve the goals set forth in every society.The purpose of this research is to examine the place of citizenship education in the document of the fundamental transformation of education in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The research method in this study is qualitative content analysis. The sampling method was purposeful and the research tool was quantitative. According to the findings of this research, the model of citizenship education can be proposed and presented in the component of citizenship knowledge, citizenship skill and citizenship attitude and 27 separate indicators. The results showed that there are many indicators of citizenship education in the text of the fundamental transformation of education.

To provide appropriate scientific information for improving the quality of decision-making and policy development in educational context dominated by complicated hierarchical structures, this article offers cost-effectiveness analysis. The analysis which is based on the integration of two popular analyses that is production analysis and cost analysis, helps provide compiling results and scientific information essential for decision makers and policy makers. Of the two implementing approaches, it is the short-cut approach which has attracted more attention, though the advanced approach entailed more capabilities and rarely used in educational research. Using three distinctive educational data sets, this study explores the unique capabilities of the advanced approach of cost-effectiveness analysis for that purpose. It was found that the characteristics of data sets are important in exploring the capabilities of the advanced approach. We have also showed that the conventional production and cost analyses provide incomplete and in part misleading results. It is through the application of cost-effectiveness analysis we were able to achieve accurate and consistent results that help provide appropriate scientific information for improving decision-making and policy development. At the end, policy implications were drawn and discussed and guide lines for the applications of cost-effectiveness analysis for future educational research have been offered.

In this article, at first, public policy concepts, including educational and higher educational policies were re-conceptualized, based on a profound and wide- spreading study. Then, educational policies, process and related events in Pahlavi's epoch, based on systematic and critical review, were explored. Based on findings, it sounds that Pahlavi's policy makers, instead of creating relevant structure and policies, based on scientific systematic studies and participatory acting of the system key actors, capable to resolve the expanding Iranian educational system problems, they relied more heavily on bureaucratic controlling institutions which expanded irregularly and even illegally.

Iran's aviation sector has the capacity to increase its global standing, however this capability is underutilized in our country. One approach to compensate for this is to place a premium on educational quality. The goal of this study is to identify the challenges and impediments to aviation educational policies. This is a mixed-method study. Qualitative analysis is carried by using the content analysis technique. Ten managers, professors, and experts were interviewed in a semi-structured manner to ascertain the barriers and challenges associated with aviation training. Seven major themes emerged from the data analysis: inefficient human resources, a lack of comprehensive policies, weak management, an unstable workplace, a lack of technology, inadequate training, and insufficient communication all contribute to this situation. In the quantitative section, the statistical population consisted of 280 students from the College. The sample size was 169 individuals, which was sufficient per Cochran's formula. The effectiveness and significance of factors were tested using the t-test and Friedman test, respectively. The most significant policy impediment was found to be poor communication between the aviation industry's various subsectors.

Globalization has proposed a new form of citizenship called Global Citizenship. Despite increasing the attention to this concept in the different educational systems, there is little agreement on its definition, dimensions, and components. This study aims to develop and test a model for global citizenship education in the Iranian Education System, using the Sequential Exploratory Mixed Methods Design (qualitative and quantitative method). The participants in the qualitative part include 10 experts and policymakers in education selected by the Judgmental Sampling Method and Theoretical Saturation Technique. The statistical population in the quantitative part includes all the sociology teachers of Tehran, of which 240 people selected as the research sample by the Cluster Sampling Method. To collect data, the semi-constructed interview tools, and a researcher-made questionnaire, used. Data analysis methods in the qualitative part are the Thematic Network Analysis Method (basic, organizing, and global themes), and in the quantitative part include T-test, Wilcoxon Test, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using SPSS and PLS software. Qualitative Findings show a model includes 3 global themes (knowledge, attitude, and skill); 21 organizing themes, and 147 basic themes. The test results of this model in the quantitative section show a very strong Fit of the global citizenship education model in the Iranian Education System. It also showed that all dimensions and components of the model have great importance to the teachers.

During the last decades many governments have used formal education as a fundamental instrument for educating children and teenagers in order to promote their personal and inter-personal skills and alleviate family-related problems. Nevertheless, due attention has not been paid to this vital issue in the Iranian education system and even Fundamental Reform Document of Education has emphasized adding a course on this subject to the national curriculum. It's important for policy makers to acknowledge the voices of students when addressing the issues that directly impact their lives. Hence, the present research has been designed according to interpretive paradigm and thematic content analysis methodology in order to explain the concept of an ideal family based on students’ points of view and to foster reflection on student voice. The participants were comprised of male and female 10th and 11th graders from six provinces (Guilan, South Khorasan, Hormozgan, Tehran, Khuzestan, and Razavi Khorasan) who were selected via purposive and maximum variation sampling. The results showed that, based on the participants’ opinion, an ideal family is comprised of a good man and a good woman who are also good parents and try together to find peace and love. The students believe that respect, mutual understanding, strong relationship, patience and companionship, piety, consciousness, secrecy, respect for children’s independence, sociability, avoiding humiliation, spending time with family, and doing things together are the most important characteristics of an ideal family.

The main purpose of this study was a comparative evaluation of the quality of personnel training cycle at shiraz university (SU) and shiraz university of medical sciences (SUMS).To conduct the study a questionnaire containing four sub-scales (policy making, curriculum planning, program management, and training evaluation) was developed and its validity and reliability were tested and verified. All university and college level administrators (65 SU, 75 SUMS) of both institutions and a random sample of trained personnel (100SU, 100 SUMS) participated in the study by responding to the questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed via repeated measure procedure. The following results were concluded: A significant difference was observed in the quality of personnel training cycle between the two institutions. At SU it was observed that "program management" ranks higher than other three sub-scales and "training evaluation" was evaluated lowest in comparison to other three sub-scales. At SUMS, it was observed that "policy making" and "program management" were practiced better than other sub-scales whereas "training evaluation" was evaluated lowest in comparison to other three sub-scales.

Engineering profession has substantial contribution to the social, industrial and economical development of any country. Among various engineering disciplines, Mechanical Engineering plays an outstanding role for the growth of industry and technology. Mutual interaction of mechanical engineers with other engineers, managers, directors, economists, businessmen and finally with customers, reveals that the advancement of mechanical engineering education needs special policy and programs in the engineering colleges of our universities. Future technologies such as Nanotechnology, Biotechnology and Information Technology cannot be ignored in any engineering education program and specially in the mechanical engineering. The basic knowledge of these technologies should be addressed during courses of studies in mechanical engineering education. Moreover, mechanical engineers face global competitions as well as internal competitions. Hence their knowledge strength should be emphasized during their education for their future success in developing new industries and productions. In the present article, such new technologies are discussed and the strategies that should be made for new Mechanical Engineering Education are described. It is hoped that the present suggestions can be implemented in the new programs of study of mechanical engineers of the colleges of engineering in our country.
