Thesis:

Study and analysis of the content of elementary Persian books and its compliance with the document of fundamental transformation of education from the perspective of philosophy for children

This study examined and analyzed the content of Persian primary school textbooks and their compliance with the Fundamental Transformation of Education Document from the perspective of the components of philosophy for children. Using the content analysis method, the results are presented in two parts: the first and second grades of elementary school. In the first grade, attention to the concepts of beauty and art reflects the books' efforts to familiarize students with aesthetics, while basic themes such as fairness and justice have been of lesser importance. In the second grade, changes in the approach of the books are evident, such that attention to responsibility and accountability and the concept of time are in the spotlight. In higher grades, especially in the fourth and fifth grades, attention to philosophical and existential themes increases, and concepts such as time and change are in the spotlight. However, low percentages for important topics such as justice and cooperation indicate the need for more attention to these topics. Finally, these results emphasize the need to promote attention to social and ethical themes in educational texts to help create a more cohesive and just society. This research suggests that teachers and educational planners should better understand these themes, enrich the teaching-learning process, and enrich textbooks with a philosophical approach.
