Abstract

Teachers are one source of social awareness and perform this important task in the schools. The purpose of this research is to investigate the social awareness of teachers as sources of awareness. In fact we want to assess the political awareness of teachers and their influence on participation (negative or positive) of other members of the society in the elections. Among the sociologists who have worked on this field, Lipset has studied behaviors and named several characteristics for each behavior. Ajzen and Fishbein believe that the received information can influence these behaviors. These theories are the basis for this research. The statistical population of the research is two educational districts of Isfahan city (districts1 and 3); a questionnaire of 31 questions was used and the data gathered was analyzed by SPSS
