EThe current research aims to design a model. The model will develop the emotional intelligence of primary school students.

The research method is the qualitative method of grounded theory. The participants were child psychology and counseling specialists. They were familiar with elementary schools. Theoretical sampling selected 21 people for in-depth interviews. They continued until they reached theoretical saturation. Members validated the findings by using the matching method. They also did test interviews. To analyze the data we obtained, we used open, axial, and selective coding. The results of data analysis show 796 main ideas.

The results of data analysis show that 796 primary conceptual propositions with 70 sub-categories and 20 main categories in the form of 6 dimensions of the paradigm model include: causal conditions (intra-individual factors, interpersonal factors, family, educational system), phenomenon main (education of emotional intelligence), strategies (educational strategies, strategies related to family, strategies related to education and upbringing, game strategy), contextual conditions (awareness, creating opportunities, home and school alignment, attention to individual characteristics, internalization of social skills), Environmental conditions (social environment-economic environment, cultural environment, political environment) and consequences (individual excellence, social excellence, economic excellence) were identified.

The integration of categories based on the relationships between them, around the focus of developing emotional intelligence, forms a paradigm model that shows the model of developing emotional intelligence of elementary school students. As a result, the development of emotional intelligence of primary school students can lead to the development of their healthy social personality.
