The purpose of present study was to investigate the status of personal epistemology components in second elementary Experimental Science curriculum. The research method is survey and content analysis types. The statistical population of the research is the textbooks of the experimental sciences of the fourth, fifth and sixth grade in 1397-98 academic year and because it was necessary to examine all the contents, there was no sampling and the whole population was studied. Also, in the survey phase, 22 professors and specialists in the fields of experimental sciences, Persian literature and psychology were selected with targeted sampling. Children's personal epistemology questionnaire and data log were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage as well as factor loading coefficient were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that in the fourth grade, the emphasis was on the simplicity of knowledge (107 items) and the least emphasis on the certainty of knowledge (3 cases(In the fifth grade, the most emphasis on justification of knowing (65 cases), The result of knowing (60 items) and certainty of knowledge (30 cases) and the least emphasis on knowledge simplicity (30 cases) And the least emphasis was on the simplicity of knowledge (30 cases), and in the sixth grade, the justification of knowing (50) and the result of knowing (40 cases) Most emphasis was placed on the simplicity of knowledge (5 cases). In general, 63.6% of the content of the textbooks of the Empirical sciences from the third to sixth grades is assigned to the components of personal epistemology.

The purpose of this study was construct and validate a questionnaire to measure personal epistemology in children. Accordingly, the 44 question with Likert scoring method was designed to have three options. Face and content validity was assessed through the survey of 10 experts and its reliability, through the implementation of 50 students to retest interval of one month, was calculated 0/72. Then, the questionnaire was administered on 472 students (217 males and 255 females) and using factor analysis with varimax rotation method revealed five factors with higher eigenvalues: simple knowledge, certain knowledge, source of knowledge, product of knowing and justification of knowing. In order to determine validity and reliability of the scale respectively, confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach alpha coefficients were used. Results of Confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit to the proposed five-factor structure. Also, the total score for internal consistency through Cronbach’s alpha, was 0/85. According to the results, the scale has acceptable reliability and validity and can be used as an applicable instrument in assessing personal epistemology in children.

In order to identify the existing areas and conditions for the use of virtual education at the centers for higher education، a sample of 245 students and 103 teachers at the University of Kurdestaan was questioned on the subject using a questionnaire with an internal consistency of 0. 84. 12 of the teachers were initially interviewed. The data analyses revealed that the conditions of the needed infra-structure، teachers'' and students'' skills، and the necessary instructional design are among the chief factors in utilizing virtual education. Based on the interview data، it seems that teachers are more traditional and do not consider virtual education as effective.
