Abstract

The purpose of this article is to design a wisdom-curriculum model. To this end, Stenberg's ideas about reason were applied when explaining the theoretical origins of the curriculum. Next, a wisdom-based curriculum model was presented using research methodology and related resource analysis. The results indicated that wisdom based curriculum emphasizes integrated and holistic curriculum and  the main goal orientations include "Developing Balanced wisdom Prerequisite Skills", "Thinking Skills (Contemplative, Discourse and Debate)", "Learning Values", "Emphasis on Implicit Knowledge" "And" ethical use of knowledge". In this regard, curriculum content, problem-orientation and balance in three areas of knowledge, attitude and skills are selected and organized in a coherent and sequential manner. The Teaching strategies include active learning based on ethical problem solving and assessment of what is learned through processes and in a constructive manner.
