Abstract

The present analytical-inferential research sought to design a model of religious identity curriculum in the first grade of high school. The research corpus included the full text of the translation of al-Mizan interpretation, which was excluded from sampling due to the logic of its selection. The qualitative content analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed that religious identity is an objectified Islamic culture in human beings and if we seek to design a curriculum model for it, the goals include three types of insights (knowing the circle of existence and creator, knowing the destination and ultimately, knowing the way and leaders of life, knowing oneself), tendency and action, and the content is a function of interwoven/spiral organization. In addition, "paying attention to the signs of God's Lordship in the horizons and systems of the universe, inviting self-reflection, explanation, reasoning and protest, interrogation, observation, allegory, reminder and teacher action" are among the teaching-learning methods emphasized in this model. The general evaluation approach is a "process" that, by considering religious implications and the type of special view on the intention, the student efforts, as well as using the three sides of the teacher, student and parents, identify possible shortcomings and serve learning more.
