Investigating the level of realization of the context-oriented approach in the sixth-grade science course: from the perspective of content and implementation

The purpose of this study is the content analysis of the science book in grade 6 to evaluate the success rate of this book in dealing with the context-oriented approach as well as the extent of its implementation from the viewpoint of the teachers in this grade. In the first part, Shannon's entropy content analysis was used to analyze the science book for the 6th grade in the academic year 2022-2023 with the help of a checklist. The statistical population of the second part includes teachers who were teaching in the 6th grade in the 6th and 18th districts of Tehran in the academic year 2022-2023. Calculating the sample size by using the Krejcie-Morgan sampling table, 103 people were estimated. A questionnaire was used to collect data. According to the findings, the coefficient of the importance of components research-oriented, collaborative learning, and the theory-practice connection is more; and problem-oriented and application are less than others. In addition, except for the theory-practice connection and application, other components are taken into consideration by teachers during training.
