Disagreements on this schema are due to different reasons, such as the conflict between this schema with student autonomy and the undermining of moral aspects of education in this model. On the other hand, the exclusion of educational action from the End-Means schema raises, in turn, some challenges. In order to take an appropriate position on this matter, this paper criticizes the Aristotelian distinction between praxis and poises based on the Islamic conception of action. Based on this critique, an extended version of End-Means schema is introduced for all human actions. Then, the educational action is first explained in terms of an interaction, namely a combination of two actions of educating and being educated issued by the educator and the pupil respectively and each of these actions is analyzed in relation of the suggested schema. In the end, it is shown that how the suggested schema is free from the weaknesses and defects of the traditional explanation of action. Manuscript profile -

In order to do this, two methods of conceptual analysis and comparative analysis were used; using the method of conceptual analysis, the nature of human responsibility, regarding to the nature of human and its freedom in both views, was examined and then, their similarities and differences were comparatively analyzed. The comparison was analyzed from four aspects of the origin of responsibility and the criteria (nature of responsibility), absolute/bounded responsibility and individual/social responsibility (realm of responsibility). First, despite the initial similarities between the two perspectives on the origins of responsibility, these are distinct by considering the concept of abandonment. Second, these two views, according to two aspects of the objective/subjective and absolute/relative of the responsibility criteria, are naturally different. Being absolute/ bounded, as the third component, makes the two views closer together in the responsibility realm. Fourth, individual/social responsibility of acts deals with the comparative study of this realm from another perspective. Manuscript profile -

3 - The transition from theory to practice in Islamic education

In this regard, by emphasizing the role of the original factor in Islamic education, the Prophet has been considered as a perfect manifestation of human beings and witnessed the implementation of original theories and the main mediator between theory and practice in education. Thus, the transition from theory to educational practice is explained by the basic principle that approaching the Prophet is a criterion for approaching the field of action and an objective manifestation of the theory of education, and consequently, distancing oneself from this educational criterion is a sign of the separation between theory and educational practice. Therefore, according to the Prophet's practical life in the history of Islam, transition in terms of educational practice has been introduced in three levels or general phases, including rational, emotional and behavioral levels by introducing twelve basic components.

For this purpose, hidden childhood images supposed in this document was explored. Then, these images were criticized. While in internal critique, inconsistencies were explained, in external critique, these images were examined from the view of Islamic theory of action. The method of inferring childhood images was transcendental analysis and content analysis. Also, whereas the internal critique has done was conceptual structure evaluation, the external critique has done by constant comparative analysis. After examining the document, seven childhood images were inferred: the child as an organism, the child as a mechanism, the child as the capital, the child as a pre-adult person, and the child as a potentially innocent person. The most important incompatibility that was found in the document emerged between the child as an organism and the child as a mechanism. In the external critique, the childhood images in Islamic Theory of Action were listed as "child as a pseudo-agent" and "child as a wildflower which relies on a caretaker". Our findings showed that the curriculum framework does not consider due attention to the young age of the plant and its dependence on the caretaker. Furthermore, the image of child as machine wasn't considered acceptable for humans, whether children or adults. Manuscript profile -

5 - An Explanation of Children's Literature in the Educational Realm: From Actual Challenges to the Ahead Horizons

This MoreChildren's literature has consistently been one of the best means for child education. However, despite its effectiveness, this means has always confronted conceptual challenges regarding its nature; challenges that undermine it compared to other educational means. This article intended to look at "children's literature" from an educational perspective and while formulating present conceptual challenges, prepares some solutions for them in order to maintain children’s literature as an educational means. Applying the conceptualization method, we formulated these conceptual challenges and then, based on the Islamic action approach and applying implicit deductive method, we proposed some solutions for them. The main conceptual challenges formulated in terms of dualism concerning instructional-literary, global-local, expression of reality-censorship, and fantasy-reality. At the second step, we identified our position about these challenges: literary structure-educational content, and literary creation-educational reading as the solutions of the first challenge; recognition of a multi-layered human identity, and intellectual dynamics of identity-layers as the solution of the second challenge; gradual encountering with reality as the solution of the third challenge; and a bound between fantasy and reality as the solution of the fourth challenge. These solutions can redefine the position of children's literature in the field of education and open new horizons in front of educators. Manuscript profile -

6 - A Philosophical Investigation of the Reasons for the Moral Practice of Organ Donation and Introducing Educational Principles and Methods to Persuade Trainees to Do it Based on the Islamic Perspective of Action

In contemporary medical and treatment culture, organ and tissue donation is one of the modern ways to treat humans ad save their lives. Practicing this moral and human value can help realize this divine teaching. This moral and value action has been investigated in different fields of research such as medicine, psychology, sociology, etc., nevertheless, it has not been studied from the perspective of education. In this regard, the present study pursued two objectives. First, the various reasons and factors expressed in persuading individuals to do the moral act of organ donation were categorized and explained from a philosophical viewpoint, and then by adopting a philosophical perspective (Islamic perspective of action), the educational foundations, principles and methods of persuading trainees to do this moral actin were deduced. For the first objective of the research, the descriptive-analytical method was used and for the second objective, Frankena's reconstructed model was utilized as the research methods. The results showed that the reasons for persuading individuals to do this moral action can be classified into four areas: intellectual, emotional, psychological and sociological. In accordance with the three principles of human practice from the Islamic perspective of action, the three educational principles including raising awareness about the moral action of organ donation, emotional transformation about it and making grounds for trainees to voluntarily do it, along with direct, semi-direct and indirect educational methods to realize these principles were recommended to act as guidelines for internalizing and persuading trainees to do organ donation.

7 - Exploration and evaluation of the philosophical foundations of Reggio Emilia's educational theory: a view from the perspective of the Islamic approach of action

In this regard, applying the method of conceptual analysis, linguistic analysis, and regressive logical analysis, we have deduced the basic components of the philosophical foundations of this theory and criticized them based on the Islamic theory of action. One of the results of this research is the inference of twelve philosophical components as the anthropological, epistemological, and axiological foundations of this theory, including the uniqueness and decency of children and the value of their intellectual and practical independence. In addition, the theory of Reggio Emilia has adopted a social constructivist approach to knowledge and has focused on the value of justice and democracy as its governing spirit. The results of evaluation suggest that while the Reggio Emilia educational theory has unique attributes and valuable educational advancements, it is necessary to have a careful scrutiny about it and resolve its challenging aspects before its implementation. Criticisms of this kind entail: taking a reductive approach and oversighting the spiritual essence of the child; an overly simplistic and idealistic portrayal of the child; a lack of clarity regarding realism versus constructivism, alongside potential risks of radical relativism in epistemology; as well as deficiencies in accommodating absolute and conditional values alongside the variable values in the axiological realm. To address these concerns, a reconstructive approach could entail: acknowledging an overlap relation between the spiritual and the physical dimensions, taking a balanced view on the child, positioning realism as a focal point while constructivism orbiting around it, emphasizing both absolute and conditional values, and maintaining a balanced emphasis on rationality and equity in democracy.
