Recognizing and addressing students’ needs is a crucial step in designing effective educational programs (Levi, 2010, p. 88). To engage students and meet their requirements, curricula should be adaptable and evolve to align with their interests (Smith, 2009, p. 9). However, Iran's current centralized curriculum system is not adequately preparing students for real-life challenges (Ramzaninejad, Hemtinejad, & Benar, 2003, p. 107), as numerous studies have shown (Javanmard & Pour Garhami, 2014, p. 31; Aminon et al., 2015, p. 1021; Bagheri & Rahimian, 2016, p. 259; Al-Ahmadi & Sharfi Abqa, 2015, p. 111). High school students believe the current program does not meet their needs (Haj Hosseini, Shabeiri, & Farajollahi, 2015, p. 2315; Sarmadi, Ghanbari, & Talebian Sharif, 2018, p. 564), indicating a disconnect between the curriculum and students' and society's needs (Perrota & Keese, 2024, p. 2). Despite this, educational documents emphasize the importance of students being active, influential, and creative individuals who take ownership of their learning (National Curriculum Document, paragraphs 12, 4-3, and 12-8; Education Reform Document, paragraph 1-16). To enhance the education system's effectiveness, it is essential to create content that resonates with students' genuine needs, promote educational equity, and ensure equal access to resources (National Curriculum Document, 2011, p. 1; Education Reform Document, 2011, p. 1). This approach fosters lifelong learning, collaborative education, and a more inclusive environment. By designing flexible frameworks that transcend traditional boundaries, education can overcome time and place constraints, enabling conscious, voluntary, and engaging lifelong learning. Given the significance of understanding students' needs, this study aims to identify these needs and determine what students should be learning. Specifically, this research will evaluate the needs of junior high school students in Mashhad.

This study employs a survey methodology, utilizing a semi-structured questionnaire to gather data. The statistical population consisted of 79,000 junior high school students in Mashhad. The sample size was calculated using the Cochran formula to be 384 students. To select the sample group, four districts of Mashhad were chosen (east District 5, north District 6, west District 4, and south District 3), and then two boys' schools and two girls' schools were selected from each district. Students were randomly selected from these schools to participate in the sample group. A researcher-made questionnaire was designed to determine the basic needs of the junior high school students. The questionnaire consisted of general, demographic, and main questions based on theoretical foundations and research objectives. To establish the reliability of the instrument, 30 junior high school students were initially selected and asked to respond to the questionnaire twice, with a one-month interval. The reliability was then calculated using the correlation between the questions, which was 0.7, indicating suitable reliability. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, one-sample chi-square test, and Friedman test were employed. 

The research findings identified the top ten needs of junior high school students as follows:Introduction to cinema and music (293 responses) Methods for recognizing and analyzing political and social issues (266) Introduction to academic fields and entrance examinations (242) Introduction to famous stories and novels (234) Curricular and extracurricular materials (216) Teaching strategies for dealing with social issues (207) Teaching the art of storytelling (191) Developing problem-solving skills (188) Introducing methods for happiness and vitality (178) Introducing applied sciences, technical, and professional skills (176) In contrast, the least important needs, as perceived by students, were:Education on citizenship rights and duties (77 responses) Moral education (74) Addressing religious questions and doubts (72) Group education and decision-making (70) When categorized, the average ratings of high school students’ needs showed that Scientific and educational materials ranked highest with an average of 5.03, while political materials ranked ninth with an average of 1.459. The remaining needs, in order of importance, were:Religious and moral content with an average of 4.10 Spiritual and psychological needs with an average of 2.76 Social and cultural needs with an average of 2.35 Economic, job, and professional skills with an average of 1.92 Recreation and entertainment with an average of 1.97 Wellness, health, and safety with an average of 1.90 Artistic and literary materials with an average of 1.18 The results of the Friedman test indicate a chi-square value of 538.247, significant at a level of less than 0.05 (p < 0.05), demonstrating differences in the importance students attribute to various types of needs (0.001 > p, 5 degrees of freedom, 538.247 = chi-square value).

The findings indicate that students prioritize scientific and educational needs, followed closely by religious and moral content. The three categories of spiritual and psychological skills, as well as social, cultural, economic, and professional needs, are also important to students. However, entertainment, literary and artistic, health, safety, and political needs are less of a concern for students. The research findings of this study are in line with the research results of Diba Vajari, Hosseinian, and Qaedi (2011), Hamidi (2005), Akbari and Sharifi (2008), and Salimi (2003). The results can be explained by considering the significant impact of media, cultural-social changes, virtual interactions, and the evolving needs, attitudes, lifestyle, and cultural consumption of students. The fluidity and change that occur every three years in the lives of junior high school students necessitate continuous audience analysis for this age group. To cater to the diverse and varied needs of these students, it is essential to address the increasing trend of social harms that affect them at a younger age and extend into adolescence. The sensitivity and importance of the adolescent period, identity issues, independence-seeking, and conflicting attractions and interests during this period make education on topics related to mental and psychological counseling, strengthening resilience and life skills, marriage, and family formation crucial. Curriculum planners and educational content producers should seriously consider these essential needs. Furthermore, given the highly politicized society and the surge of political news and events, students are naturally drawn to these subjects. Developing a suitable program for political education, scientific understanding of issues, and systematic analysis of political matters is a necessity.

The purpose of the current research is to investigate the intellectual property right and its jurisprudential foundations in new media

This paper tries to identify the concept of copyright and its relationship with intellectual property through exploratory analytical method and then describe the elements of this concept and its place in the laws and its principles, while expressing the jurisprudential view in this regard, to investigate and explain this concept jurisprudentially and its impact on the social system.

The findings show that in 1379, a law called "the Computer Software Protection Act" was passed, expanding national protection of intellectual property in Iran. Different views on the legitimacy of intellectual property among jurists have led to the presentation of different judicial decree in this regard.

Based on the findings, solutions can be prepared to improve the use of digital media space by following intellectual property concepts; It is necessary for authors and owners of the work to become familiar with their rights in this field and use them in production processes to distribute and reproduce. 2. Considering the acceptance of the spiritual and moral dimension of intellectual property rights by Islamic jurists and scholars, in some cases where international concepts of intellectual property are hardly accepted by users and consumers, by referring to religious teachings in this field, the shortcomings can be covered. 3. Shiite jurists have different views on copyright, but there are favorable intellectual grounds for further explanation and more detailed theology in order to overcome some of the nodes in this field.

The role of literary and artistic works in the cultural development of a society is so strong that many sociologists have considered the basis of education in art and have emphasized its fundamental role in the growth and promotion of society. The undeniable impact of literary and artistic works is that if these works are in line with human and religious ethics and teachings, they will result in scientific and cultural excellence, and moving along the path, will have no effect other than degeneration and decline. In view of the need to balance the interests of society in the pursuit of new and exalting literary and artistic works on the one hand and to support the creators of artworks in the creation of exquisite works on the other, this article seeks to determine whether there is a legal limitation or absolute protection of these works in Iranian law by expressing the role of literary and artistic works in society. And if the restriction is imposed, what is the criterion to apply the restriction? The results show that the absolute literary and artistic works in the teleological, ethical and human dignity legal systems, unlike capitalist legal systems based on materialism and pleasure, are not legally supportable and for determining Supported Items, must use legitimacy and legitimate rational interest criterion

Performers of literary and artistic works (including actors and singers), such as any other intellectual owners, have a right to exploit of their own artistic performance. They can exploit of this right personally, or license or assign their rights to other person through contract. These contracts usually face with legal issues such as lack of clarity in the nature of contract, transfer of Performer’ rights to producer and Performers’ stewardship and then lack of clarity of these issues can put up exploitation of literary and artistic works in a halo of ambiguity in many of contracts.
