The concept related to human sciences as a technology aimed at implementing various changes in different fields and human situations has gained significant importance. In this article, it is argued that economic education based on the formal document of the fundamental transformation of education encompasses both epistemic and non-epistemic objectives; the aforementioned economic education not only considers acquiring knowledge as its ultimate goal but also aims to prepare learners to organize and confront future life situations under various economic conditions, considering that technologies aim to bring about changes in individuals and societies, the question arises as to whether economic education based on the document of the fundamental transformation of education can be termed as technology, and By technologizing economic education, does it create a space for judgment regarding progress based on pragmatic criteria (ability to solve practical problems)? This research, with a qualitative approach and documentary-analytical method, delves into describing and analyzing the dimensions of science and technology and, explains this type of human soft technology's capability in understanding and explaining the issues in the educational system to change the existing reality; Of course, based on the findings, it should be said that the realization of such an environment requires having a transparent platform of information, so that all those involved in the field of education and training can fully and accurately access the information of the education and training system so that they can innovate appropriate technology for time and place

The present study aimed to identify the components of professional ethics in the context of e-learning and distance education and design a model of professional ethics. To achieve this goal, the exploratory mixed method was used with a focus on the qualitative-quantitative method. In the qualitative section, in order to collect data, the semi-structured exploratory interview method and the focus group were used, and then in the second stage, the descriptive-analytical method was used quantitatively and a researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data. In order to assess the current situation of professional ethics in Alborz Higher Education Institute, the identified components were surveyed as a researcher-made questionnaire from the viewpoint of students. A one-sample t-test with a test value of 3.5 was used to analyze the questionnaire. The results showed that the factors and components of professional ethics with t visible in the table were significantly higher than the expected average.In terms of desirability, behavioral and process components were at the desired level and only the component of ethics-oriented interaction in the e-learning environment related to educational assistants was at a relatively desirable level from the viewpoint of students. By erpresenting the initial model of professional ethics based on the literature review and interviews with e-learning experts, and qualitative and quantitative results, the conceptual model of professional ethics was obtained.

The research has been done with the aim of synthesis of Mobile-based learning curriculum with an emphasis on the Acker pattern in higher education. Accordingly, the research was of the synthesis type. For this purpose, in order to study the research background and collect data appropriate to the research purpose, the resources available in dissertations, libraries, research projects and articles available in domestic and foreign databases were used. The keywords used for the search included curriculum, mobile learning, mobile-based curriculum, distance learning, virtual learning, web-based learning, online learning, and Acker pattern in higher education. The total studies related to keywords were 48 cases, that after reviewing the titles, 9 irrelavant cases were excluded; so in this study 39 cases were examined. After collecting the data, the findings and results of the research were extracted and analyzed separately. The results indicate that the learning-based curriculum with emphasis on the Acker model has 10 components and 82 indicators, that for the logic and cause component 25 indicators, Objectives 7 indicators, Learning activities 9 indicators, Teacher role 3 indicators, Materials and resources 13 indicators, Grouping 3 indicators, Location 3 indicators, Time 2 indicators and measurement and evaluation of 8 indicators have been respectively extracted. Based on the results, the logic and cause component has the highest index and the time component has the lowest index.

This study was conducted with the aim of standardizing the Pedagogical content knowledge scale of high school teachers in using digital games.The present study is a correlational study with the statistical population including all high school teachers in Urmia. In this study, two areas were selected randomly from education districts and then Questionnaires were distributed among high school teachers in district 2 using the relative stratified sampling method.To assess the Pedagogical content knowledge of digital games the questionnaire of Sue et al (2013) was used. Finally, the data were analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis statistical test. In confirmatory factor analysis, the goodness of fit indices showed good fit of the model. The results also showed that all items of Urmia High School Teachers' Pedagogical Content Knowledge Scale were acceptable in using factor loaded digital games.And none of the items were removed from the Sue et al.Questionnaire (2013). It should be noted that in the subscale of game knowledge, item 1 with factor loadings (0/779) , in the subscale of Pedagogical game knowledge, item 9 with factor loadings (0/745) , in the subscale of game content knowledge, factor 12 with operating load (0/761) is considered to be the most relevant items for each component of game knowledge, Pedagogical game knowledge, and game content knowledge. The Pedagogical content knowledge of high school teachers in the city of Urmia in using digital games has a good content and structural validity and can be used to evaluate the Pedagogical content knowledge of other high schools in using digital games.

Among many of philosophical issues, Epistemology is always one of the most important pillars of thinking about the system of education, because education always deals with the recognition and discovery of reality. The purpose of this research is to study the epistemology of existentialism school and its educational implications in the distance education system (virtual). This research uses a descriptive-analytical method to collect library information, including identifying, studying, classifying information, analyzing them and aggregating information about knowledge in the existentialism, and then introducing its educational implications in virtual education. The results of this study showed that though knowledge of existentialism does not contain one-handed thoughts, this school has implications to gain knowledge in distance education system (virtual). such a way, with the emphasis on serving human beings, it seeks to grow and expand one's consciousness and independence. Also, in educational methods, it emphasizes flexible methods in curriculum design, and also this school considers teachers as a guide and learner as an active person in virtual education and, accordingly, in evaluation of acquisition Knowledge has a qualitative approach. Therefore, it is suggested that distance education practitioners, using the considerations mentioned in this school, plan in order to create more flexibility in acquiring knowledge in virtual education.

In addition to the personal factors of memory, Test properties can affect the student's information retrieval. The research aim was to study question type effect and questions processing level on everyday students memory performance. The method of research was factorial experimental with two factors (question type and question processing level). By using random category sampling, 128 students in boukan payame noor university were selected and were divided to four groups, by randomly sampling. The groups have no different in Wechsler Memory Scale. The research instrument was educational text about quantum physics. Each of four group gets one kind of four tests (1-recognition/ surface processing 2-recognition/deep processing 3- recall/surface processing 4-recall/deep processing). Text and tests validity and reliability were confirmed. Results revealed that the effect of processing level on memory performance was significant (f=3.344 & p

Poststructuralist philosophy as the governing philosophy of Western societies provide the philosophical foundations of modern episteme-ology the increasing use of information and communication network which can be influential in E-Learning. This paper is a brief introduction to the post-structuralism episteme-ology seeks to deconstruct the idea with three philosophical implications used to describe E-learning. First impression, the inquiry focuses on the deconstruction involves some kind of interaction, interactive course that person is not with others but with self. Second impression on a possible consequence of reading the text emphasizes that multiple readings or interpretations of the text/ content by learner. This element is called when the text is magnified virtual space that can be interpreted as multidimensional replacement with one-dimensional interpretation .The third concept, Derrida's emphasis is on the Writing, based on e-learning. The learners can be use in written communication(text) document to reflect their views. So once again, It is proved that writing is of special status in education.
