Carrying out content analysis on Habermas’ communicative action theory we have come across eleven educational principles and thirteen educational methods which all indicate the significance of reconstructing concepts of learning, managing classrooms and schools, the role of teacher and student, how to teach the lessons and curriculum, and assessment. At the end, based on the findings of this research we will offer some suggestions for the educational system of Iran.
