The purpose of this study was to analyze the content of Secondary School Chemistry textbooks based on the emphasis on the objectives of the resistance economy. The research method used in this descriptive study was content analysis. In this research, after quantitative data gathering, Shannon's entropy technique was used to analyze them. The statistical society of this study compiled the content of all secondary school chemistry books (tenth chemistry, eleventh chemistry, twelfth grade, and tenth science science and eleventh science lab). . The sampling method was all in this study; therefore, the entire text of secondary school chemistry was analyzed. The registration unit was the subject of this research. The results of content analysis showed that in the text of the reviewed books, the objectives of the resistance economy in the field of consumption and the areas of skill and knowledge are the most attention, and in the field of employment and production in the field of attentions, the least attention has been paid. Among the books, the focus is on the objectives of the resistance economy in the book of the 11th Science Lab and the least attention is given to the twelve-year chemistry curriculum. Findings from the frequency of components have shown that the attention to the objectives of the resistance economy is not normal distribution and is very little about the objectives of the resistance economy in the chemistry books.

The present study aimed at identifying and extracting the causes of gap between theory and practice of artistic education in the junior secondary education and comparison of managers and teachers’ opinions in this regard. The mixed-method approach to research was adopted. The sample consisted of curriculum specialists, art education experts, junior secondary managers and art-culture teachers. First, the causes of gap were identified and extracted through analyzing national and international resources, interview with curriculum specialists and art education experts based on the elements of Klein’s curriculum. Then according to these causes, a questionnaire was designed and administered to the managers and teachers. The results of the analysis in the first run led to identification and extraction of 79 causes, among which there was a significant difference between the managers and teachers’ opinions with regard to the element of content. Accordingly, experts of the Organization of Research and Educational Planning are suggested striving to revise the curriculum and consequently mitigating the gap between theory and practice of artistic education especially in the area of content.
