Abstract Political awareness is a skill that can be learned and developed, and it is not separate from the subject (human social life), the goal (knowledge and ability to make decisions about collective affairs) and the destination (finding or building ways for human happiness in society) of political science. Therefore, political awareness is not a side product, but one of the main features of political science. Considering the importance of citizens' political awareness as a stable national capital, this article has been made with the aim of drawing a model of the role of political science in public political awareness by using foundational data theory. For this purpose, 18 specialized semi-structured interviews were conducted with political science professors dominated in the field of political awareness, whose text analysis in the open coding process led to the emergence of 426 initial codes related to 136 abstract concepts in the form of 25 categories. According to the findings of the article, causal conditions including political science human resources, the nature of political science, scope of action, political science groups, communication channels, professional specialties and psychological factors have the greatest impact on role-playing promotion strategies. Political science contributes to public political awareness. These strategies are secondarily affected by the components of external origin, such as the society and the government and their subcategories, which are classified as contextual and intervening factors.

The opportunity to consider cultural diversity, view cultural diversity as the foundation of security, adopt multicultural policies in general and multicultural education policies in particular, pay attention to social realities and intercultural sensitivities, intercultural communication, intercultural education and intercultural dialogue are among the most important It is a solution to strengthen cultural diversity in the Islamic Republic of Iran from the perspective of political sociology.

This issue has taken a more prominent form in Iranian society after the Islamic revolution of 1357.with the study of the community of humanities students of the Islamic Azad University of Shiraz University, aims to investigate the influence of religious beliefs and values on the formation and realization of the model of religious democracy. Based on Cochran's formula, 332 people were selected as the sample size by simple random sampling method and were analyzed by t-test method. The findings show that the realization of the model of religious democracy is influenced by the attitude of the people of the Iranian society towards the components of this model. the realization of the model of religious democracy means the acceptance of a distinct form of society administration, which can also be considered as a factor for the expansion of the Islamic Revolution. From this point of view, issuing the model of religious democracy means issuing the values of the Islamic Revolution in the new stage of the Islamic Revolution. Another argument is that the link between religion and political values by the Islamic revolution is a special and distinct model, which is clearly a negation of the propagation of the model of secularism on the one hand and an ineffective negation of the role of religion in the administration of Islamic societies on the other hand.
