To improve both the content and the processes of the 7th grade’s social studies curriculum, a group of 15 teachers and 20 students from districts 3 and 4 in Karaj were purposefully invited to participate in a series of semi-structured interviews. The validity and reliability of the data collected was ascertained through their credibility, dependability, and confirmability. The results of content analyses show that teachers have failed to accomplish the attitudinal and skill related objectives of the curriculum, as these aspects of the program have practically been omitted. In relationship to the content presented it is limited to the memorization level and higher cognitive skills are ignored. The absence of active methods of teaching is the most important cause in this area. Content difficulty, time shortage, inadequacy of space and facilities, and inappropriate evaluation are among other hurdles on the way of the intended curriculum. As a result, changes in these areas are needed if the new curriculum is not to be strangled by tradition and habits.

The national curriculum in science is not geared solely toward the development of scientific skills and transfer of knowledge products. Accordingly the learning of scientific methods is among the main objectives of science education. To reach this goal, writing textbooks aimed at strengthening cognitive processes and attending to the stages of problem solving is paramount. To ascertain the extent to which the 7th grade science textbook does this, its content was analyzed. The data analysis shows that 35% of the content actively covers the topic. Furthermore both the text and the illustrations therein fail to correspond with the stages of problem solving adequately. Nevertheless, in terms of exercises and homework given adequate correspondence is maintained and the stages 1-4 are differentially covered.
