As Human Rights are supposed to be equal for all human beings leaving any social differences away there must be ways found to educate the population in Human Rights matters. One of the ways for Human Rights education is Religion. Religion is the link between the people of one society that does not care for social and educational differences. There is no need for high education to believe and to confess to a religion. But also in times of insecurity, e.g. wars or catastrophes, people tend to be more religious than in times of peace and are seeking help and moral advice from their religious leaders. <br />By attending religious ceremonies people get informed not only about religious matters but also about political ones as religious institutions are also a place for exchanging knowledge. An important role plays the religious leader as he can have a great influence esp. on the masses with lower education. By using effective methods he can contribute to implementing Human Rights in society. As there are already different methods of intercultural training on Human Rights affairs existing I would like to explain how, in analogy to that, an inter-religious training on Human Rights Affairs, esp. anti-discrimination, could work. The basis is the anti-bias concept which was originally developed in South Africa and which aims at the general removal of discrimination like sexism, racism, north-south-hierarchy, etc. The focus is on the sensibilization of oneself and starting a life-long-learning process of living aware of existing prejudices and developing tolerance in society. The anti-bias concept starts working directly at the mechanism of discrimination and is therefore useful and appropriate for the pedagogical fields which include religious institutions. The religious leader is enabled by this training to work with groups, e.g. children and adults or men and women, and lead those people to their emotional self-experience. Developing on this, non-discriminating conducts for the personal life- and the working situation is produced. Religion that works together with the anti-bias method shows how many chances a society has with less discrimination for all and helps finally to implement Human Rights.

The “Story-Based Language Teaching (SBLT)” is one of the most effective approaches in language pedagogy that addresses various elements and parameters in different texts. The aim of this study is to locate SBLT elements in one of the popular Holy Quran’s stories; namely, Abraham`s story known as a pedagogical text, based on Javadi Amoli (2006) and Farhadian’s (2011) Quranic pedagogical frameworks. To this end, the corpus of 130 verses containing the Abraham narration from various surahs was scrutinized and analyzed to extract their precious methods and strategies. To do that, the coding system was utilized to account for the frequency of the predominant method. Upon completion of the coding procedure, the inter-rater (coder) reliability was estimated and the results were confirmed by 81% reliability. The results illustrated that most of the Quranic pedagogical methods proposed by Javadi Amoli (2006) and Farhadian (2011) are manifested in Abraham`s story and some other methods were found by the present researcher through further analysis. The above-mentioned methods from the most repeated to the least ones are Storytelling, Repetition, Precise look, Wisdom, Encouragement, Socratic method, excellent examples, Sympathy, Metaphor, Parable method, Prayer, punishment, Discussion, Debate, Simile, Observation, Experience, Legislation, Holistic view, and Exemplification, respectively. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the dominant instructional methods in this story were inductive and explicit. The findings contribute to Quranic courses syllabus design and teaching pedagogy.

Admiration for environment in general needs to be profoundly rooted in an understanding of History. Urban history is unique not only in the fact that it reflects climate but also in that it cuts across many different fields. In most schools of urban studies many aspects of science and technology are taught with relation to design in order to attain skills for practice. During a student’s later career they may not lead to a respect for environment, and do not lead in particular, to an understanding of energy issues and climatic impacts on urban form. The aim of this paper is to stimulate the environment consciousness of urban history instructors as well as researchers. It demonstrates similarity in spatial aspects of settlements differing in cultures and tradition but similar in environment.The examples range from ancient to present day urban configurations.

Purpose: The objective of the present study was to present a model for training organizational citizenship behaviors in the Education Organization based on grounded theory. Methodology: The present study was applied in terms of objective. For a rich description of the experiences, attitudes and perception of the interviewees towards training organizational citizenship behaviors, the qualitative research method was used and in particular grounded theory (systematic approach) was used to achieve a paradigm model. The population of this study included professors, university experts and directors of education in Kermanshah Province. Sampling in the present study was purposeful, in which 14 people were selected from the mentioned ones. In this study, interviews have been used to collect their views related to the training of organizational citizenship behavior in the Education Organization. Content validity was used to evaluate the validity of the construct and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used to evaluate the reliability. The research tool in this section was a questionnaire and for data analysis, SMART PLS3 and SPSS23 software were used. Findings: The results showed that causal conditions (employee empowerment; decentralization; and employee awareness of organizational citizenship behavior); axial phenomena (chivalry and forgiveness, conscientiousness; organizational spirituality; respect and esteem; and civic virtue); strategic factors (organizational contexts, fair and rapid feedback; observance of justice in the organization; policy making; and increasing employee motivation); confounding variables (personality traits; and cultural, social, political and economic conditions); background conditions (organizational culture, transformational leadership, and organizational support) and consequences (effectiveness and improvement of organizational performance; employee satisfaction; organizational commitment, cooperation and participation) affect the training of organizational citizenship behavior in the Education Organization. Conclusion: The study results showed the effect of each of the different categories on the training of organizational citizenship behavior. So, to succeed in this regard, special attention should be paid to these categories. Therefore, in order to achieve higher effectiveness and proper hiring of employees with extra-role behaviors, the Education Organization should consider and implement the necessary program and preparation for training organizational citizenship behaviors.

Etant un lieu d’instruction et de transmission de savoirs, l’école contribue à la construction des valeurs, à l’enseignement des morales et de leurs ancrages dans l’esprit des enfants. Cet objectif se réalise progressivement en ouvrant les portes des univers de l'écrit et notamment celles de la littérature qui offrent aux enseignants une multitude de pistes d’exploitations pédagogiques. Par sa dimension manichéenne et sa fonction éducative, le conte est l’un des genres littéraires dont l’usage didactique offre de nombreuses potentialités pédagogiques. Il sera question dans le présent article de l’aborder dans une perspective d’éducation à l’environnement dans le cadre de l’apprentissage scolaire dont les contenus reposent en partie sur la restitution du vécu des personnages de Mondo et autres histoires de Jean-Marie Gustave le Clézio. Cette démarche vise à faire revivre aux élèves les expériences de ces personnages ainsi que leurs interactions avec les éléments de la nature et qui serviront de modèles de conduites à adopter pour une meilleure éducation à l’environnement.
