Abstract


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.
