As in the current centered educational system "text-book" represents educational goals at the national level. Thus, in this study attempt was made to answer this question based on content analyzing: "how much importance has been devoted to economic concepts in the primary education text-books". So, after some preliminary theoretical studies, content analyzing pattern was designed. Then the validity and reliability of this pattern calculated and analysis was begun. For this purpose, by using data collection bill, the content of the primary education text-books except mathematics were analyzed in academic year (1385-1386). Then, economic concepts and implications were identified and classified in five types: "microeconomics, macroeconomics, economic development, labor economic and international economics" and two presentation ways (direct & indirect). The results of investigation show that economic concepts in relation to economic development, microeconomics, labor economics, macroeconomics and international economics orderly have been devoted to themselves the most amplitudes. Also, the economic concepts presentation ways were different, for economic concepts in relation to microeconomics, macroeconomics, economic development and international economics; the direct presentation way has been used frequently and for labor economics indirect presentation way has been used. in general, the direct presentation way used more than indirect way. The analysis show that economic concepts presentation in various bases hadn’t special order and although, economic concepts has increased progressively from first primary grade to fifth primary grade, but this process hasn’t liner motion and has some inflections. Also, economic concepts have been presented in theoretical manner. At the end we suggest that more attention must be paid to some concepts of microeconomics and macroeconomics. Also, in addition to theoretical instruction of economic concepts, practical instruction by using more active methods must be considered.

In the literature of international economics, determination of exchange rate pass- through has been closefy related to main determinants, and to its impacts on other economic variables. In principle, exchange rate pass-through is defined as a change in exchange rate as a result of a change in prices of imported goods. The pass-through is generally measured based on the responsiveness of the import price index to changes in real exchange rate. In accordance with fluctuations in foreign exchange and the exchange rate, this paper attempts to explore the importance of exchange rate pass-through in the Iranian economy. origenaly, a theoretical discussion of the exchange rate pass-through is reviewed, and then, by using Neuro-Fuzzy Systems its situation in Iran is analyzed. In addition, empirical models of import prices and exchange rate are specified for the Iranian economy to examine the impacts of monetary and foreign exchange policies, as well as the degree of economic opennness on exhang rate pass-through in Iran. The models are also estimated and evaluated by the Neuro-Fuzzy Systems. In general, the results obtained indicate that the conduction of all mentioned policies has significant and positive effects on the pass-through status. In addition, the method used is a more efficient and reliable instrument in forecasting the trends of the exchange rate and the price variables
