Objective: The present study sought to design a model to eliminate the digital divide in education with emphasis on the Quid 19 epidemic crisis. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to identify model variables and also to determine the causal relationships between model variables.Methodology: This research has been done in two parts: qualitative and quantitative. In the qualitative part, variables, components and indicators of the research were extracted using the method of data foundation and coding through interviews with experts.Finding: In a small part, a comprehensive interpretive-structural modeling method has been used to create a model and determine the causal relationships between the research variables. The statistical population of the study includes 20 education experts who were selected by purposive non-probability sampling using snowball and theoretical techniques. The criterion of sample size in the qualitative part is theoretical saturation.Conclusion: The results of the qualitative section showed that the digital divide elimination model has the variables "e-government inclusion barriers" (interfering factors), "digital development platform" (contextual factors), "digital capacities" (causal factors) , "Digital content" (focal category), "digital divide elimination" (strategies) and "consequences". Based on the results of the quantitative section, the two variables "digital development platforms" and "barriers to e-government inclusion" have the greatest impact and importance in the model and are among the independent and strong stimulus variables that more managers' attention and effective monitoring of these stimuli can Help achieve the goals of the organization. It is expected that the model of eliminating the digital divide in education will lead to the consequences of reducing digital inequalities, reducing social inequalities, developing information and communication technology and increasing the participation of families in the educational process

Abstrac t This paper considers membership in social networks as means of welfare and satisfaction of life among elderly pensioners. Holding relationships, social networks and participation in social activities are significant elements for strengthening of self-concept and satisfaction of the elderly. These elements, by extension of meaning, determine quality of life among the elderly. This is a survey-method research and the questionnaire technique has been used for data collection. Statistical population includes pensioners that are over sixty years of age and have been pensioners of the office of education in the city of Jahrom our sample consists of 201 persons of this community. The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between memberships in social networks and satisfaction of life. Also there is a significant difference between formal and informal networks such as relationships with friends, members of the family, neighborhood, and the like. So that the informal networks, as compared with formal networks, exert more positive effects on life satisfaction of the elderly. Although connections and social networks do strengthen life satisfaction of the elderly but these do not provide all elements for satisfaction. Empowerment and encouraging more effective participation as playing roles in community affairs and in social networks constitute two items that their inclusion into a comprehensive policy seems to enhance life satisfaction.

The Academic Education and Cultural Capital Studying the Relationship Morteza Monadi Associate Professor, Alzahra University Abstract Culture or in the interpretation of Bourdieu (1989) cultural capital, includes level of education, physical and material elements of culture and habitus which are always found in cultural behaviors and activities such as watching TV, listening to music, going to the cinema, museum or a theater, reading books, newspapers, etc. Such acts requires objective material and cultural elements such as having a library, paintings, sculptures and antiques. Based on this, the members who have higher levels of education, should contain most of cultural goods of the consumers or as Adorno (1384) interpreted, cultural industries. This means that the universities, in addition to improving the level of individual’s knowledge, should increase their cultural capital and educational level. This may occur in Western societies, but the two research projects conducted in Tehran, on the family and women's groups of different classes enjoying varying economic, social, cultural and educational levels, imply that there is not a considerable difference between the academic and non-academic individuals in the use of cultural goods. In other words, universities had not been able to increase the cultural activities of the people up to the level at which their cultural capital level is also raised. Another important point is that the theories of the Western world do not necessarily respond accordingly in our society because our society is in transition from a traditional path towards the modernization and finally to amodernity (Berman, 1389).
