Higher education is considered a key component in the education system and human resource development in any country. The functioning of the educational system is a tool to respond to the problems and needs of the society. Special educational needs are different in different age groups, which determines the special logic of the educational process in higher education. Since the higher education system is responsible for the important task of training specialized human resources, it is necessary to use appropriate, precise and systematic methods in the design, implementation and evaluation of its activities.This research seeks to design a unified model of curriculum components and aesthetic education in higher education. The main goal is to achieve components of aesthetics that can be used in the university curriculum along with other curriculum components from the field of humanities. For this purpose, with the qualitative and exploratory method, these components were extracted from the literature sources of curriculum studies, the opinion of experts in this field as well as the opinion of experts in the field of art and aesthetics, and after the consensus of opinion and the possibility of using them by the public universities of Khuzestan province, those components were used in the design of the model. suggestions were used and then the suggested model was designed.The findings of the research showed that art and aesthetics as a perspective and paradigm in the curriculum contains many components, inspirations and components. These components can be used in the design, development and implementation of curricula, focusing on the important components of the curriculum such as goal, content, method and evaluation.

This study was conducted to develop a measurement model for the environmental ethics questionnaire. The research methodology was correlational and was conducted in measurement model. The statistical population of the study included all the 14391 secondary high school students in Hamadan city. The sample size, which was selected by stratified relative sampling method, was 986 students. The tool for data collection was the researcher-made Environmental Ethics Questionnaire (2019), which consisted of 5 components (i.e., water, soil, air, plants and animals). The initial questionnaire was developed on the basis of theoretical foundations and research background and contained 130 items. The content validity of the questionnaire was assessed by CVR method and the items with the relative validity coefficient of less than 0.29 (i.e., 26 items) were deleted. In addition, in a pilot study, the reliability of the questionnaire was calculated through Cronbach's alpha. After implementation of the questionnaire, the results showed that the structural model of environmental ethics has goodness of fit (GOF= 0.614). The results, also, indicated that all the questionnaire questions had a significant effect on their component. The results of the model, also, showed that the water component had the greatest effect on environmental ethics and the air component had the least effect on it. In addition, the results showed that there is a high internal correlation between the components of environmental ethics. In conclusion, it can be said that the researcher-made Environmental Ethics Questionnaire (2019) has the necessary psychometric characteristics for measuring environmental ethics.
