The purpose of the current research is to identify the components of national cohesion for use in the content of textbooks. The research paradigm is interpretive, the approach is qualitative, the research strategy is qualitative content analysis and the field of study includes teachers and experts. A semi -structural interview was used to collect information. The sampling method is purposeful and continued until the theoretical saturation stage, and interviews were conducted with 14 experts and 18 teachers. The data format was based on audio and for data analysis two steps of open and axial coding were used. In the first step, the coding of 451 initial code and 87 sub -categories were obtained. In the second stage of coding, 16 main categories were obtained after categorization. The extracted categories are: language homogeneity, diversity in introducing celebrities, Territorial symbols, legitimizing cultural pluralism, rethinking and writing women's texts, strengthening trust, distributive justice, Merit based, strengthening national identity, paying attention to multicultural economy, introducing ancient artifacts, political legitimacy, redefining educational policy, strengthening National-transnational compatibility, creating social security, and reforming media policy. Based on the findings, the necessity of a review and a more comprehensive look at the structure of national cohesion is felt.

This article is extracted from a research which is conducted between 2006 (proposal, explanatory studies, theoretical and empirical literature) and 2007 (data collection and analysis). The researchers were confronted with two main questions: firstly, what is the situation of the statistical population (teachers of Zanjan city) on the injustice scale? Secondly, which variables among belonging affection, deprivation perception, in-organizational justice, job prestige, region of residency and educational level, are significantly correlated with injustice affection and which one has stronger correlation? Theoretical basics for developing a multivariate hypothesis were two theoretical approaches: exchange theory and relative deprivation theory. In addition, the empirical literature has had a role in entering some variables into the hypothesized model. The research method is survey in which 271 cases out of 1525 teachers who were working in Zanjan city during the research period were interviewed based on a quota sampling design and by the usage of valid and reliable questionnaire. All sample cases were classified into three groups who have injustice affection, justice affection and moderate status. The results show that about 91%, 5%, and 2% were classified into the mentioned three groups respectively. Others could not be classified because of inaccurate responses to questions. The estimation of the global goodness-of-fit indices and the structural and measurement coefficients totally confirmed the model, although there are some recommendations for modification of the hypothesized model.
