PhD in Geography and Expert in Educational Planning in Geography
Abstract
The history of curriculum planning in the world reaches more than a century, but this field in Iran is not more than a few decades old. However, in this short life, it has been able to open its position and effectiveness among all theoretical sciences and the most important role it has played has been to define the boundary between knowledge and education of each science. For example, in the field of geography, with all the differences and similarities with other sciences, this demarcation has been able to reveal a part of its inherent abilities. Based on the research findings obtained from the descriptive-analytical method of various documents, we can divide geography education in Iran into pre-Dar al-Fonun and post-Dar al-Fonun. However, since geography was not considered as an independent discipline even in the period of Dar al-Fonun and was mainly considered by other teachers along with other disciplines, the history of producing geography curriculum can be scientifically traced back to 70 years ago. The time came when the new education of Iran was formed. However, until about 1996, geography education in Iran was done with an emphasis on descriptive methods, until this year, along with the formation of a stream of scientific and codified curriculum planning in the educational system, a kind of reform in the production of programs A codified lesson was formed and In this way, the first geography curriculum planning document was produced this year, and other programs were extracted from the heart of this curriculum in accordance with the courses and educational levels And geography education was formed as a new approach in official Iranian education.
