Turnover of the video game industry is three times larger than the cinema. Students are the most consumer of this market. Games in addition to theirs benefits can causes many problems as Increasing violence. The study seeks to investigate the using rate of violent games and its relationship with the amount and type of bullying of elementary school male and female students in Bojnord. Data were collected through two questionnaires: Illinois bullying scale and a researcher-made game questionnaire. Findings showed that the rate of violent games among boys is significantly higher than girls. And the rate of bullying fights and victimization is higher among boys too. Contrary to expectations, the most important finding showed that there is a negative relationship between playing violent games with the dimension of bullying, the dimension of fighting and the dimension of victimization that in first two is meaningful. That is, games not only didn’t have a significant relationship with increasing violence, on the contrary have with reducing it. There are theories that can explain this finding, so that these games calm children by discharging the latent violence and therefore have a positive effect on their behavior; especially if the conditions and lifestyle were how they couldn't experience in real environment. The findings of this study, although challenging the mainstream, do not recommend the use of violent games to reduce school bullying; because moral, psychological and physical harms still remain, moreover there are other ways to prevent and reduce bullying at school.

Nowadays, curriculum is considered as the heart of educational systems. Curriculum at primary school is an opportunity for children’s personality development in different education dimensions. Sex education is the important dimension of education. The present study aimed at designing an optimal model for sex education curriculum in primary school. In this research, qualitative phenomenology research method has been used in 1395. The statistical population of the study, including professors and faculty members of educational sciences and psychology department of University of Tehran, Allameh Tabataba'i University and Bu-Ali Sina University of Hamedan, were selected by sex education experts in Hamedan province. Targeted sampling was used for sampling. So, interviews were conducted with 17 people, and the work progressed to theoretical saturation. The tool used is a semi-structured interview with experts. For analyzing qualitative data, interpretive analysis method was used. The findings indicated that the themes of the sexual education curriculum rely on three main structures (cognitive, attitudinal, and skillful). In the field of educational content, attention should be paid to the values and philosophy of sexual education, attention to value-based resources (Quran, tradition, intellect, nature), attention to the principles governing education, attention to sources of content development, sexual education curriculum. In the educational section, the principle of difference in religious law and duties, teaching methods, and in the educational evaluation section, the use of the features of other elements of sexual education curriculum, the use of two basic criteria of the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet were identified. Finally, it was concluded that the curriculum designed to pay attention to various aspects of the curriculum, including purpose, content, method and evaluation. The basics of the curriculum, including its psychological, social and philosophical foundations, are based on the philosophy of the community. In fact, the present plan reflects the cultural and social values of society.

Abstract
he purpose of the present research was to studycurrent status of political education in formal elementary curriculum. The method used was descriptive-analytical. The main research techniques were qualitative content analysis and document review. So, textbooks and curriculum framework of social studies, Persian language and Islamic education were used in analysis process. The results show that the current status of political education in the elementary curriculum is not desirable. Most of objectives are addressed cognitive and affective domain, while less attention has been paid to political skills or psycho-motor domain. Other findings revealed that content of political education have failed to provide a good opportunity for political education in elementary schools based on religious democracy theory. Although proposed teaching and evaluation methods and techniques appear to be optimal, however due to the weakness and shortcomings of educational content, cannot be affective. And finally between the mentioned curricula from the perspective of political education there is no coordination.
