Nowadays, due to the growing process of global warming, increase of greenhouse gases and reduction of natural resources, environmental crises are more than ever before, therefore one of the topics that has attracted a lot of attention in educational systems is to present new attitudes of conservation. Environment is in education, which is considered one of the important tasks of the educational system and is applied in educational books. Considering the importance of the environment, the purpose of this research is to analyze the content of fourth grade textbooks based on the level of attention paid to green management components. The research method is descriptive and qualitative and quantitative content analysis, which analyzed the data using Shannon's entropy technique. The statistical population of the research includes social studies, Farsi and experimental science books of the fourth grade of elementary school, which due to the nature of the subject, sampling was not done and all the statistical population was examined. and the research tool in this research is a checklist and based on the report of the technical and research office of the "Green Management Steering Center", the indicators of green management in several main areas including energy management, water and wastewater management, benefit from renewable energy, waste management, pollution control Sound, transportation and the spread of culture and strengthening of social responsibilities in the field of environment, the selected books were studied according to these components. The obtained results showed that the highest coefficient of indicators related to green management for the fourth grade social studies course was for the index of energy management and use of renewable energy, respectively. For the Persian course, water and sewage management had an importance coefficient of 0.26, and for the experimental science course, water and sewage management, use of renewable energy, noise pollution control and transportation, energy management and promotion of culture and environment had an importance coefficient of was 0.17.

The purpose of the present study was to analyze the content of educational network educational videos and experimental science books of the first elementary school in terms of their attention to the environmental protection education. The research method was quantitative and descriptive content analysis based on the categories of environmental protection and also the statistical population included 52 educational network videos and new experimental science books written in the first year of elementary school in the academic year 2020-2021. The statistical sample was considered equal to the statistical population. The sample was analyzed based on 9 main categories and 33 sub-categories by deductive coding method. The research tool was a checklist of environmental protection education categories, so that the initial checklist was first selected from Keramati and Ahmadabadi (2018) research and its validity was confirmed by experts. To ensure the reliability of the measuring instrument, the Holstie formula was used and the agreement percentage was 78.1%. The findings showed that the content of the study did not address natural and artificial soil pollutants and light pollutants. The other two grades were significantly lower, and this limitation in the third grade is considered as a weakness for the educational content in this grade. Also, in general, the films of Shad Network paid more attention to the environmental protection education than the science books of the first elementary school. The principles of sequence and continuity were not observed in the compilation of the studied content in the first elementary period.

The present study aims to investigate the existing status of environmental education in the second elementary school based on the components of environmental education. The methodology was the content analysis method of Entropy Shannon, which presents data processing in the context of content analysis with a new, quantitative and qualitative look. The content of the project was responsive (all 4th, 5th and 6th grade books), and 9 main components and 43 sub-components. The results of content analysis showed that out of a total of 848 pages of the fourth elementary books, in total (189) pages, and 895 pages of the fifth grade of primary books in total (127) pages and from 914 pages of the sixth grade books in elementary The total (127) pages related to the key concepts of environmental education, and among all the components of environmental education, the greatest attention was paid to the component of biodiversity in 36 pages and the least attention was paid to the ozone layer component in (0). The most The coefficient of importance is related to biodiversity components (0.26) and the lowest coefficient of importance of the component is the effect of growth of ozone layer (0). According to the results of content analysis, it can be concluded that the environmental education of this period is very low, while explicitly in the upstream documents the issue of the environment, the necessity and importance of preservation and ways of its conservation as one The underlying dimensions of development are discussed in different dimensions.

The book of "Human and the Environment" base on curriculum general approach (Flourishing divine nature) and according the five elements (Science, Thinking, Faith, Ethics and Practice) in four areas (self, people, creation and almighty creator) have been compiled to teach in the eleventh year in all disciplines. Since this lesson has entered to the country's educational system for the first time as an independent course and attend on the environmental issues seriously and with specific plans, the aim of this study is analysis of the internal aspect and the dimensions of appearance and content. This research was carried out using the descriptive analytical – survey method. The research sample includes three sections: the book of Man and Environmental (whole content), eleventh grades students (1931 person) and the teachers who taught the book (185 person) that participated randomly in this research of 11 provinces and 29 cities. In the book analysis section, the dimensions (categories) obtained from the content analysis are: text, assignments, questions, pictures, tables, charts, discussions, verses, know more and impact of content on the promotion of skills and individual interests. These dimensions are evaluated less than the hypothetical average for students and more than the hypothetical average for teachers with ranking and grade of importance differ from students. Accordingly, correction and alignment of dimensions with details in each of items has been suggested to remove the disadvantages and also ease of student learning and teacher training.

how crises are represented in elementary and high school textbooks through content analysis method. In the first step, the basic concepts related to this topic, were extracted from Iranian and international scientific and legal documents deductively. Then, 68 extracted concepts were put into 12 categories and were sent to the field experts in the form of a questionnaire.The reliability coefficient of the questionnaire was computed.88 with Cronbach's Alpha. The extracted categorieswere again offered to some field experts and validated. Based on confirmed categories, the content of textbooks (28 titles) and teacher's guidebooks (12 titles) were analyzed. The results of analyzing the textbooks show that the main focus is first on the issue of crisisology and the consequences of crises, and second, on preventive actions which encompass%80 of the content. The remainder of the related content was concerned with other topics; the contribution of the content that focused on resiliency and recovery is less than other concepts.The comparison of the weights allocated by the experts and the weights gained from the textbooks analysis was made by Mann-Whitney U and Chi square tests; in both tests, a meaningful difference was observed.

One of the causes of environmental crisis is the lack of environmental awareness. Certainly, one of the ways of creating it is proper training. As one of the most versatile tools for teaching in the country are textbooks, the present study aims at investigating the main components of environment teaching included in the sixth grade text books in Iran. The method of the study was content analysis using Shannon entropy analysis including texts, questions, exercises, and pictures of selected books. The findings showed that the highest significant correlation in social studies books was related to the component of the way of exploiting the renewable and non-renewable resources which was (.023%), and the least significant correlation was related to the components of population, ozone layer depletion, and the role of technology in environment as well as global warming. It is also showed that in the Persian text book (reading), the focus of attention was only on the soil components (.013%) and the human role in environmental protection (.002%). In the text book of science, (.004%) of focus was on the components of environment, jungles, and trees, and (.023%) to the ways of exploiting the renewable and non-renewable resources. In the sixth grade's thinking and research textbook, the attention was only on the jungles and trees without considering the other environmental components. In the text books of Quran, mathematics, work and technology, divine gifts, and Persian (writing), there is no attention to the environment. The results showed that there is not a balanced and comprehensive attention to the components of environmental education in the content of text books of the sixth grade in Iran.
