The aim of this research is to provide a context-based teaching model in the experimental science course of elementary school with an emphasis on environmental conservation, which has been qualitatively, implemented using the approach based on data base theorizing. To collect information, semi-structured interview was used and information analysis was done by Strauss and Corbin method and paradigm model. Sampling was a theoretical method based on which 25 interviews were conducted with primary teachers in Central Province. The results of the data obtained from the interviews during the process of open, central and selective coding led to the creation of the foundational data theory in the field of context-based education in the experimental science course of elementary school. In order to determine validity, subject experts and experts in the field of experimental sciences were used, and to determine reliability, retest and intra-subject agreement were used, and the value was 0.84. The proposed model in this research includes dimensions and effective components, obstacles and strategies, primary, background, mediating conditions and constituent elements that show the central phenomenon, consequences and strategies. Based on the research, context-based education in experimental sciences with emphasis on the environment is multi-part, which is affected by a set of hardware and software factors; therefore, if today's context-based education is not equipped with these skills in the experimental science course of the elementary school, environmental protection will not be achieved. Therefore, the integration of these factors in the elementary course of experimental sciences can help in maintaining, increasing and expanding students' environmental literacy.

The present study aims to investigate the components of the human and nature relationship in the human and health cluster curriculum in secondary high school. Because of the importance emphasized in “The Fundamental Reform Document” and “The National Curriculum” by the Ministry of Education, the subjects of “Human and Health” were considered strongly to be in the secondary school curriculum by the curriculum planners. If the content of these courses is tailored to the educational needs of students, it can play an effective role in improving the relationship between human and nature. The main question of this study: What are the features of the relationship between humans and nature in the curriculum with the subjects of humans and health in the second year of high school? The descriptive-analytical method of this research has been done manually by Shannon's entropy content analysis. The statistical population of the research was the secondary high-school human and health textbooks and their teacher guide in the year 2020-2021. The content of the study was (all books),7162 primary codes obtained and 15 main components, and 161 sub-components. Findings show that the greatest attention was paid to the highest information load and significance coefficient (WJ) of the authority (0.163), ecotourism (0.127), water (0.108), relief and rescue (0.107), biodiversity (0.1), air (0.093), waste (0.091), energy (0.079), soil (0.051), religious belief and national (0.027), soft war (0.025) and the lowest coefficient of the importance of the component is the stable security (0.006), Welfare and Social Security (0.003), nutrition and health (0.012), lifestyle (0.01). The findings of the present study indicate the revision of the curriculum of the Human and Health cluster is an undeniable necessity.

The purpose of this study was to formulate essential criteria and indicators of environmental education in Iranian elementary education system in 2025 horizon and to prioritize it, using qualitative research for formulation, criteria and indicators and quantitative research for Abstract Prioritization of criteria and indicators. Statistical population in the field of document analysis includes environmental content, bio-education, Supreme Leader's announcement on general environmental policies of the country, Article 50 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 20-year Perspective Document of the Islamic Republic of Iran 1404, National Document of Fundamental Education Transformation. As well as education (macro goals and strategies), the national curriculum document besides all the teachers and experts in the field of education and the environmental experts were selected by snowball sampling method. The selected people were 60 experts via snowball sampling method. Later, the theme analysis method was performed. According to the results, the philosophy of bio-education in Iranian education in the form of 9 axes, the macro goals of bio-education in the form of 14 macro goals, the essential criteria and indicators of bio-education in the fields of knowledge (21 criteria), understanding and understanding (5 criteria), individual and civil responsibilities (5 criteria), and questioning, analysis and interpretation (7 criteria) were both formulated and prioritized.
