Keywords:
curriculum; social capital; teaching method; higher educationAbstract
What today is called social capital implies other definition of capital
that is critical besides other types of human and material capital. Social
sciences scholars believe that one of effective institutions on formation of social
capital is educational institutions and curriculums. Through changing
curriculums social capital can improve. Accordingly the present research aims
to design some teaching method to develop social capital within the higher
education system. To do this, qualitative and field survey was used. Also, 12
scholars in the field of curriculum and social capital were interviewed with.
Then, the content of interviews was analyzed and in the process of coding, the
presented ideas were classified separately and the common ideas were placed
in the similar groups. In this part, teaching method was identified as a major
issue. Finally, the way this factor affects social capital was examined. So, for
the major factor of the current research, its casual conditions, strategies and
hypotheses were separated and provided within a paradigm model. The
ultimate model was designed thorough generalizing the paradigm segments to
social capital.
