Presence of Clergymen in religion, social and political life had been legitimized with Islamic theoretical base and historical necessity in Iran’s society. Surveys have shown that clergymen’s prestige has been changed (Particularly among the youth) after the Islamic Revolution. Regarding the extension of critical approach and critical thinking in education system, the purpose of this research is to investigate the relation between students' critical thinking and adherence to clergymen. The statistical population included all MA students of state universities in Tehran . Three hundred seventy (370) students were selected through Kuokran's formula and PPS sampling. The results have shown that there is not a significant relation between critical thinking and adherence to clergymen. But adherence to clergymen is shown to have a negative relation with inquisitiveness and open-mindedness subscales. There is a positive relation between truth-seeking and adherence. Also there is a positive relation between critical thinking and going to non-clergy specialists of religion.

In this research, in order to reach the defined goal, the levels of media literacy of the target sample (384 young students) have been measured. Then the influential factors on media literacy have been elicited. Also a series of interviews have been run with social communications and media management scholars, managers and high ranking employees of IRIB who were chosen through purposive and snowball sampling in order to evaluate the accuracy and validity of the proposed model and determine the role of media literacy in policy making process of IRIB.
