Abstract
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.
