Abstract
Local and ethnical awareness has highly increased in the contemporary age. Especially, some people believe that factors such as globalization have intensified ethnical sentiments followed by weakening of national identity. On the contrary, some others believe that the increase of ethical tendencies is not in conflict with national identify of people and can be improved. Today, experimental examination of each of these viewpoints in the societies with various ethnics and languages is considered as a necessity because adopting identity-based policies in such societies and especially in Iran requires constant observation and monitoring of tendency level of active population and especially young individuals of the society in national and ethnical identity. The present research aims at examining the relationship between national and ethnical identities among Kurd, Turkish, Lor and Fars students at the University of Tehran in the academic year 2013-14 and their backgrounds were also considered. A surveying method was used to collect data extracted by distribution of a questionnaire among 294 samples and the data was then analyzed by SPS22 software. Findings indicate that despite common popular beliefs among some viewpoints, there is no contradictory relationship between national and ethnical identities. The findings of this research show that there is a positive and synergic relation between national and ethnical identities. Moreover, analysis of the effect of their background on national and ethnical identities indicate that gender, field of study and level of education are the most predictors of national identity and type of religion predicts the highest variance of national identity among students.

Abstract
In Iranian higher education, the university management system (UMS) has taken on an overly pyramidal and centralized structure and has created a minimal intervention space for stakeholders, especially students which have challenged some of the functional areas of universities. This research shows the lack of proper development of participatory culture in universities as one of the main reasons. The objective of the paper is to design a mechanism to promote student participation in the UMS based on the development of cultural components. Using the heuristic mixed method, first in the qualitative section to identify culturally effective components on student participation in a purposeful judgmental method, a sample of 15 studies was selected and 50 components were counted systematically by fuzzy Delphi method through experts consisting of 17 people. In the quantitative section, the current status of student participation based on cultural components were identified in the form of descriptive-survey method, through a researcher-made questionnaire from the perspective of 381 people from the stakeholder community of the Islamic Azad University, Science and Research Branch, selected by simple random sampling method and then assessed using SPSS software. Students' participation in the Iranian UMS based on cultural components is not favorable. The formation of non-interactive processes, unwillingness to work in a team, centralization of universities, lack of appropriate participatory structures along with the weakness of cultural components are all important obstacles. This study indicates that 41 cultural and social components in 4 institutional dimensions (12 components), attitude dimension (13 components), behavioral dimension (8 components) and value dimension (9 components) affect the promotion of student participation in the Iranian UMS. Strengthening these components can lead to the promotion of the university management system in the form of a "council system".

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to identify the discontinuities in the discourse formulations of the teacher training system between the establishment of Dar al-Funun School and the establishment of Farhangian University. Therfore based on genealogical method and break analysis assumptions, descent analysis, zero analysis and coincidence analysis of this system have been done in three stages. Accordingly, based on descent analysis and zero analysis, the creation of a teacher training system is dependent on the formation of a new education system and has been modified or changed during this period. Coincidence analysis shows the existence of scattered events, each of which has had an effect on the country's teacher training system, such as Iran's defeats against Russia, the victory of the constitutional movement or global events such as the World War II, which have affected this system. The analysis of power shows through examining the statutes and instructions of the teacher training system in this period of time, that from Foucault's point of view, power is trying to control, normalize and shape governed subjects through various techniques, creating people's behavior.
