The statistical population in the qualitative section consists of expert experts in the field of expert curriculum with a statistical sample also consists of 12 people. The statistical population in the quantitative section also included primary education experts with a sample number of 20 people and all primary school teachers in Zahedan with a number of 1843 and a sample number of 318 people. In the qualitative part, using purposive sampling method based on snowball technique, the selection was done and the research continued until the stage of data saturation and repetition. Also, with the help of Morgan table, quantitative sample size was determined, which was selected using multi-stage cluster sampling; Thus, from the clustering of the study population, 4 primary schools (2 girls 'schools and 2 boys' schools) were selected. In a quantitative step, data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire for two groups. A questionnaire with 49 questions was used to collect data in the quantitative part and interviews were used in the qualitative part. Finally, 13 components were identified as the main components of curriculum evaluation: The first component included the steps of the curriculum. The other three components curriculum evaluation, including the three levels of intended, measured, and acquired curriculum, were discussed. Then, 3 components including curriculum evaluation criteria in each of the 3 levels and 3 components including the necessary information resources for curriculum evaluation in each of the 3 levels were introduced.

The environmental problems and issues and attempt to improve the environmental conditions for humans and other creatures have been among the most important challenges faced by developing countries such as Iran for many years. It should be confirmed in such conditions that governments can’t solve all the imposed problems and damages to the environment. Therefore, some duties should be divided between government and citizens and people’s role should be changed from inactive observers to responsible citizens to improve their living environment resources. In such conditions, governors, decision-makers, and senior managers of the system won’t have any solution except alignment, engagement, and interactions to reduce the environmental problems and improve environmental indexes to rescue from these conditions. This interaction and cooperation can be studied only in the shadow of the basic and public education of members of the community of managers and officials and also resorting to the principles of sustainable development. This interaction and cooperation will be possible only in the light of the acquirable and sustainable development principles. The lack of the systematic awareness and knowledge among managers and decision-makers of the country is one of the biggest problems and challenges in this field. Thus, this research, as a developing and yet applied study, tries to examine the articles in this field and to design a policy-making pattern for civic engagement in the environmental field according to the importance of environmental plans and public engagement in developing its protection for economic plans.

The aim of this study was to develop a model of strategies to improve the quality of virtual education in primary schools through synthesis research. The research method is qualitative and is considered a synthetic research, which is done by content analysis with the help of meta-combination and is practical in terms of purpose. The research environment includes all authoritative articles related to virtual education inside and outside Iran during the last 25 years. The targeted sampling method of the research was done to the point of theoretical saturation of the data so that the study of the articles were pursued until sufficient data was obtained. Finally, 22 articles were selected based on input criteria.
