  The emergence and expansion of constructivism as one of the significant conceptual and theoretical frameworks in International Relations in the two last decades was accompanied by an increase in interest toward empirical researches in this framework. Researching in the framework of this approach has some special implications which is unfortunately less followed in current researches and surveys, especially in students’ theses and dissertations. In addition to this, many of the young scholars in the field of International Relations who are theoretically interested in constructivism are in doubt about choosing domains of subjects they can empirically research from this perspective. The purpose of this article is to show The implications of conventional constructivism survey and it's subject domains. The applied method for collecting data in this essay is library-based and depends on the theoretical and meta-theoretical texts and empirical surveys and researches and shows that how can constructivism be a theoretical base for almost all subject domains in the field of International Relations.

  John Rawls is affected by Kant's ethical philosophy and the representation of Kant's ethical philosophy can be seen in his works. In this paper, in order to reveal the legacy of Kant for Rawls political theory, three subjects are surveyed: humanism, ethical alternative and constructivism.

  This paper discusses the challenges Turkey has faced in its bid for accession to the European Union (EU) membership. As argued here, two independent variables; namely, identity and economic incongruity, have confronted Turkey’s endeavor with certain serious challenges. To test this hypothesis, the authors explain the EU’s approach to the question of membership through theories of constructivism and economic liberalism. As discussed in the paper, the major challenges faced by Turkey in this process stem from the peculiar characteristics of power and political structure in the country, including the Islamic heritage and identity, incomplete democratization as embodied in a semi-democratic political structure, and also the developing nature of the economy. The paper concludes that as long as these characteristics persist, Turkey will have a hard row to hoe for the accession to the European Union. Manuscript profile

  A Constructivist Study of International Organizations Homeira Moshirzadeh Associate Professor of International Relations, Faculty of Law and Political Science; Tehran University Theoretical attitudes to international organizations provide a basis for presenting suitable questions and meaningful and systematic research. Constructivist approach as an analytical and conceptual framework, is a suitable basis for studying international organizations. This article while focusing on the theoretical foundations of constructivism and its research plan indicates that how this approach can guide research on international organizations. Constructivism can pave the way for further research on international organizations, given the issues such as interrelationship between agent and structure, inter subjectivity, relationship between rules and leadership, rule-setting, reproducing and changing rules, identity-building and organizational culture. This article shows that how some of these research possibilities have been exploited in research projects and what subjects could be explored in studying international organizations.

  7 - An Explanation of Critical Thinking in Constructivist Approach (a Qur’ānic Deconstructive Analysis)

  Theories of critical thinking are generally divided into two groups: theories that describe the positive and negative characteristics of various phenomena, such as human beings, and the Qur’ānic theory indicating that critical thinking should be based on believing in the open, creative, and infinite knowledge of God. Challenging the content of the first approach paves the way for introducing the creative and variable approach to knowledge. In this way, education adopts a religious and unlimited nature more than ever before. The non-restrictive aspect dominates knowledge and, as a result, the content of educational courses based on critical thinking and is developed under the influence of other dimensions of a philosophical system, including values and knowledge. The open and unlimited process of Qur’ānic critical thinking leads to the priority of creative approaches and their effective incorporation into education. The present study aims to explain a kind of critical thinking based on a constructive approach to the open and unlimited Qur’ānic critical knowledge. Deconstruction means analyzing and reviewing each subject through decentralizing it and discovering some of its new other dimensions that are usually neglected. Manuscript profile

The research community is all the articles (148 articles) that have been presented in specialized and scientific databases since 2012 and 2013 on learning culture based on the theory of social constructivism. The sample of the research is 33 articles, which were selected based on thematic monitoring, theoretical data saturation, and purposefully. The research data were collected from the qualitative analysis of the studied documents. In order to analyze the data, content analysis was used in the method of categorization based on Roberts' synthesis research model.
