To evaluate the quality of the primary scheme and codify the final one, the qualitative research approach and interviews were employed. Findings: the findings of this study show that decentering decision making about the elements of curriculum in Iran’s curriculum development system includes seven schema as follows: (a) uniform (one type); (b) multiform (four types); (c) formless (ten types); (d) a combination of uniform and multiform (four types); (e) a combination of uniform and formless (ten types); (f) a combination of multiform and formless (forty types), and (g) a combination of uniform, multiform, and formless (forty types).

Purpose: It is more than 30 years that Afghan people immigrate to Iran. This paper aims to find out the educational challenges Afghan High School students face in Iranian schools based on English teachers’ perspectives in Tehran province. Methodology: This research is qualitative and its kind is deductive. Based on the theoretical foundations of migration, relevant studies, especially the research of Sadegh Mousavi et al. (2019), Shishehgran and Haji Dehabadi (2018), and Songhori et al (2014) components of educational challenges were compiled. Guba and Lincoln indices (1994, quoted by Mohsenpour, 2013) were used to validate the components. The tool of this study is a Semi-structured interview based on the accredited components. Data analysis has been done by the use of Braun and Clarke’s thematic method (2006). The number of English teachers who have taught Afghan students for more than four years in public schools and participated in this study was about 32 (17 female and 15 male). Findings: The findings show that parents of these students rarely come to school to ask about the educational progress of their students, Afghan students adapt to the content of Iranian textbooks and the curriculum as the result of having a close relationship with Iranian culture, some students work after school to help their family financially. Regarding citizenship, Afghan students consider themselves differently as first-class Iranian citizens, second-class citizens, and some do not care about the issue of citizenship in Iran because they consider life in Iran to be temporary and intend to immigrate to European countries. Among the female students, no delinquency or victimization was observed by the English teachers, but the male teachers had heard of a few cases such as buying and selling drugs and consuming them. Considering that Afghan students are interested in learning English and its skills, it is necessary to take advantage of the presence of English teachers in reducing the educational challenges of students. Conclusion: This can be achieved by holding compensatory classes by these teachers themselves. This leads to more social communication between students and their English language teachers and to a large extent causes a kind of social control in preventing the occurrence of delinquency and delinquency. It is also suggested that the English language curriculum should pay attention to multiculturalism and anti-racism, and the necessary programs to familiarize school administrators, parents of students, teachers, and Iranian students, as well as parents of Afghan students and the students themselves should be provided.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to design and evaluate the effectiveness of the social responsibility model of companies active in the capital market affected by the epidemic of the Covid-19 disease. Methodology: The current research is a mixed research (qualitative-quantitative) and is practical in terms of purpose. In the qualitative part, nineteen members of the expert panel were determined using the snowball method. At the same time, G_Power software was used to determine the size of the statistical sample in the quantitative section, which determined it to be 120 cases. In order to analyze the data to reach the research objectives, Delphi technique was used in the qualitative part. Also, in the quantitative section, structural equation modeling using SmartPLS software was used to measure the efficiency of the model. In the qualitative section, after reviewing the research literature, 19 primary indicators were identified in the form of three main components, and the opinions of the expert panel members were used to measure their effectiveness using the Delphi technique. Finally, after two rounds, this technique reached the saturation stage. Findings: In the quantitative part, using the PLS technique, it was found that all three main components have a positive and significant effect on social responsibility, and at the same time, in terms of the severity of the order of the factors, it is internal factors, macro factors and company characteristics. Conclusion:The results of this section show the removal of three indicators from the primary indicators and at the same time the addition of four secondary indicators, which led to the identification of three final components and twenty sub-components.
