摘要：This paper attempted to investigate the effects of nationalism ideology on school curriculum. In so doing, two main objectives were followed through an analytic-deductive method: investigation of positive aspects of nationalism and of negative aspects of this ideology in education generally and curriculum particularly; it is noteworthy that the researcher focused on Iran’s education. Findings indicate that nationalism as one of the most influential ideologies has significantly affected education; in order to maintain political stability and shape national identity, nationalism has paved the way for compulsory public education. In addition historical documents show that nationalism has set the foundations for creation of governmental centralized systems in relation to education; on the other hand it made teacher training centers spread worldwide. In terms of negative aspects, nationalism has led to lack of cultural and linguistic identity among various ethnicities at some points and has turned into a dominant factor itself.
