IntroductionThe philosophy of education as one of the types of philosophies, as the output of human rational activity regarding what, why and how to educate, has appeared in various formats to effectively guide the educational actions and measures of various societies, and personal educational philosophy is one of these manifestations. With this opinion, the personal educational philosophy of a teacher has been mentioned in high-level documents and education policies, but it has not been investigated and researched operationally in Iranian schools. so; This research seeks to analyze the personal educational philosophy of Kangan city teachers in a narrative form. MethodThis research is of a qualitative type that was conducted using the narrative research method. The research community was all elementary school teachers in Kangan city who were working in the academic year of 1400-1401. From this research community, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 15 of these teachers using the purposeful sampling method until the theoretical saturation of the data. Then, the data was analyzed by thematic analysis method with the help of MAXQDA software, and basic, organizing and comprehensive themes were extracted respectively. For the reliability of the data, the method of agreement between the coders was used, and for the validity of the findings, the method of review by experts was used. ResultsThe analysis of the findings showed 10 organizing themes and 21 basic themes. The most important findings of the research were: Paying attention to the components of ethics, self-efficacy, value orientation and creating a dynamic school for the teaching profession, taking into account the educational role (guidance, being a role model) along with the educational role (teaching and instruction) for teachers,seeking happy and conscious life as the results of education, pay attention to the strengths (external and internal) and weaknesses (cognitive, social and psychological) of students in training and create organization-oriented and student-oriented job incentives for teachers. DiscussionTherefore, the research can be understood that by formulating the personal educational philosophy of teachers, while the what, why and how of what teachers do in the classroom is revealed, it also gives us an opportunity to reflect on how to develop the status of teachers. Therefore, teaching teachers to formulate personal educational philosophy can make teachers involved in the development of their own situation.

Introduction According to deconstructive genealogical hypotheses, the transformation of concepts is not only not the result of development of science in fields of knowledge such as psychology and social science, but also indicates that such an developments are the result of historical and common events occurring in the course of transformation. On the basis of this presupposition, the main aim of this study is to explain events, developments and processes that form the concept of elite student and deconstruct the concept in order to explain the marginalized possibilities in students’ life in educational system the contemporary of Iran. Method The method in this research is genealogy. In genealogy, the objective is to discern how a problem or a fact came about in history. Results Finally, in both Shahab and sampad plans, background factors and power relations play a role in the evolution of the concepts. Discussion That indicated the most important discursive formations in this period of time are Shahab and Sampad plans in the contemporary Iran. The first impression that the analysis of genealogy of an elite student gives us is the macro layers that fill the gaps between two formations. The most important factor is the deconstruction of “intelligence” and addition of the sociological concepts to elite students’ training. To this effect a diversity can be noted in social arenas and different dimensions of giftedness in its current formation i.e. Shahab plan. Although more important matter in accordance to genealogy is the analysis of genealogy based matters on non-discursive factors, which indicates that the revolution is not only not the result of development of science in fields of knowledge such as psychology and social science, but also indicates that such an improvement is the result of historical and common events which have occurred in the middle of the path of improvement. Some significant and obvious events which can be mentioned here are brain drain, economic crisis in Iran, change of economic concepts, the inappropriate population density of special instructions for elite students and the reduction of the population of students. Key words: Elite students, genealogy, the contemporary educational system of Iran, non-discursive factors, discursive formation
