Considering the role of science education in the economic growth of every country, it is included in the curriculum of k12 education. In the meantime, green chemistry has been given attention in science education. Green chemistry is one of the most fundamental approaches used in sustainable development. Textbooks are expected to pave the way for sustainable development by educating the principles of green chemistry. The goal of green chemistry is to design products and processes that are compatible with the environment and minimize the risks caused by chemicals.

The application of the principles of green chemistry in the subject of electrochemistry in the chemistry textbook was investigated in this research.

This research is descriptive-analytical and it uses the method of content Analysis. The statistical population of the study is the 3rd grade chemistry textbook and the studied sample is the second chapter of this book in terms of attention to electrochemical concepts, which includes pictures and text containing titles, written sentences, and questions. The research tool was the twelve principles of green chemistry. The research method was based on the census of the analysis units based on the aforementioned principles. To achieve content validity, the opinions of experts in chemistry education were considered and the results were presented in the form of descriptive statistics.

Findings from content analysis showed that about 31% of the content has an educational approach based on green chemistry, which refers to 9 principles of green chemistry. On the other hand, principles 8, 10, and 11 principles of green chemistry have not been considered. Also, due to the role of electrochemical knowledge in providing clean energy, the principle of maximum energy efficiency had the highest percentage of frequency in the designed content based on attention to the environment.

Given the growing significance of social networks in fostering knowledge sharing among researchers, the present study examines the scientific output related to sharing on social media using bibliometric and altimetric methods. The aim is to explore the thematic trends and behavioral patterns of knowledge sharing among researchers in this field.

This applied research utilizes a descriptive approach and employs bibliometrics and altmetric methods. A total of 1498 articles published in the area of “knowledge sharing on social media” and indexed in Scopus from 1999 to 2021 were examined. Descriptive statistics, including frequency tables, and inferential statistics, such as Spearman correlation test, were used to analyze the data. To study the extent of sharing research outputs on social media, Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) extracted from Scopus were queried in the Altmetric Explorer database. Altmetric data for the articles were collected and analyzed in Excel format. VOSViewer software was utilized to visualize the thematic map of articles. Additionally, R software was employed to analyze the relationship between citation and altmetric indicators and the creation of a correlation matrix.

The findings suggest a significant increase in research outputs in the field of sharing on social media over time. Authors affiliated with the United States, China, and the United Kingdom had the highest share of publications. The results demonstrate that the interdisciplinary nature of sharing on social media has attracted researchers from various fields, including computer science, social sciences, business, management, accounting, engineering, and decision science, to contribute to research publications in this area. Seventy-three percent of the articles studied have received at least one citation in Scopus. The analysis of word co-occurrence networks in publications reveals that keywords such as "knowledge sharing," "social media," "social networks," "social network analysis," "knowledge management," "social capital," and "social software" are the most frequently mentioned in the articles studied. The keyword co-occurrence analysis also indicates that in the early 2010s, researchers primarily focused on concepts like and in the early 2020s, there has been an increasing emphasis on concepts such as “Facebook”, “Twitter”, and “enterprise social media”.Twenty percent of research outputs with DOIs received a non-zero altmetric score. The most commonly used altmetric sources among researchers were Twitter, news sites, Facebook, blogs, and policy documents. An analysis of social media mentions over the ten years from 2012 to 2021 showed a consistent upward trend. The study of the geographical distribution of attention to research outputs showed that the highest number of attentions was received from European countries, North American countries, and Oceania. The comparison of the geographic distribution of publications and mentions indicated that countries such as China and Taiwan, which were among the top five countries with the highest number of publications, are placed in lower ranks on the list of countries with the most mentions of articles on social media. On the other hand, researchers from countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Germany have significantly utilized social media platforms to share their research findings. The study of journals publishing research articles indicated that the journal Computers in Human Behavior had the highest number of mentioned articles.The results demonstrated a statistically significant and positive relationship between the number of citations received in Scopus and the level of attention these articles garnered on social media platforms. In essence, the attention given to articles on social media positively influences the citation of these documents in other research outputs, and articles that are extensively shared on social media tend to have a greater citation impact over time. The results did not reveal a statistically significant difference between the altmetric score of open-access articles and non-open-access articles.

The research results emphasize the importance and the growing role of social media in knowledge sharing among researchers. An analysis of the frequency of articles with altmetric indicators reveals an upward trend in the share of research outputs related to social media in recent years. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the bibliometric and altmetric characteristics of research outputs in the area of “knowledge sharing on social media”. The findings of this research can be valuable for future studies, policy-making, and practical efforts related to knowledge sharing on social media.

In the age of information, the increasing competition among banks to gain a larger share of the monetary and financial market has led to a more detailed and profound focus on the needs and demands of customers. Achieving maximum customer satisfaction initially involves understanding their needs and demands and then translating these into appropriate services. Given the growing complexity of financial and banking systems, this can only be accomplished by establishing codified and systematic methods that transform these concepts into an organizational process. Furthermore, with the evolving needs, demands, and expectations of customers, it is essential to first identify what the customer desires and then provide the necessary means to fulfill them. The significant changes in the banking system and services, the competitive and rapidly changing environment in which banks operate, and the recognition that consistently delivering superior quality services compared to competitors can create a stronger competitive advantage have driven banks to shift their focus towards customer satisfaction and enhancing service quality. Consequently, due to the characteristics of digital environments, banks are compelled to transition into digital banks and bridge the gap between the physical and digital realms in a timely manner. The journey of banks towards customer-centricity should commence with the adoption of digital technologies and by establishing targeted partnerships and re-engineering the current processes and structure of banks within the digital banking ecosystem. The primary objective of the current research is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the scientific publications in the Scopus scientific database on the subject of digital banking from its inception to date and to present the global scientific landscape (over the past 66 years). In scientometric research, it is crucial to emphasize the significance of quantitative and qualitative information about the topic being studied. Such studies unveil hidden realities in every scientific domain. Undoubtedly, remote research points may pose significant challenges in the future or reveal remarkable prospects for further research and narrowing research gaps.

This research follows an analytical-applied approach, utilizing scientometric techniques such as synonym analysis and social network analysis. By examining the main results, the research field's topics and boundaries were meticulously gathered through records and citation links. Under a scientific framework, 3488 sources related to digital banking were extracted from the Scopus scientific database by searching the article title, abstract, and keywords. Data review and analysis were conducted using the database's tools, as well as Excel and VOSviewer software, a social network analysis tool. This was done to quantify, design, and visualize the research products' trends, knowledge map, colleagues' network, and the synonymy network of research on digital banking.

Given the significance of entrepreneurship training in fostering and promoting entrepreneurship as well as the appropriateness of childhood for its acquisition, entrepreneurship is seen as a crucial skill for children. Therefore, seeking techniques which help children acquire this skill is highly recommended. As children’s literature, particularly storybooks, play a significant role in entrepreneurship training, paying attention to its components becomes more crucial. The purpose of the present research is to explore the extent of the use of entrepreneurship components in children’s storybooks of age group ‘C’.

The current research employed a ‘content analysis’ method and was ‘applied’ in terms of purpose. The research population consisted of 80 storybooks that were selected by the Children’s Book Council for the age category ‘C’ during the years 2018–2020. Out of these, 30 storybooks were selected as the research sample using a simple random sampling procedure. Theses storybooks were examined by a researcher-generated checklist. As for content validity, ten psychology department faculty members were asked to assess the checklist. After receiving their feedback, the content validity ratio index as well as content validity index were calculated, and the initial checklist was revised. As for the reliability of the checklist, 10% of all the storybooks were randomly selected and reviewed by two evaluators. The checklist was completed for these books. The percentage of agreement among the opinions of the evaluators was then verified by computing Scott’s pi coefficient. The coefficient value of 0/94 showed that the checklist had an acceptable level of reliability. Six entrepreneurship components and 40 sub-components made up the final checklist. Finally, SPSS was used to analyze the data collected via the checklist.

The overall rate of employing entrepreneurship components in the selected storybooks was 38/9%. Based on the Friedman Test results, there was a significance difference between the priority of the entrepreneurship components, with ‘creativity and innovation’ and ‘need for success’ being the most frequently used components, followed by ‘need for independence’, ‘risk-taking’, ‘ambiguity tolerance’, and ‘locus of internal control’ respectively. At the population level, on average, each entrepreneurship component received the following amount of attention: creativity and innovation (36/5% to 57/5%), need for success (33/8% to 53/5%), need for independence (28/6% to 52/6%), risk-taking (26/5% to 48/5%), ambiguity tolerance (22% to 44/4%), and locus of internal control (22% to 37%). Furthermore, out of 30 storybooks reviewed by the evaluators, only seven covered more than half of the entrepreneurship components, thus were considered among the rich and suitable storybooks for entrepreneurship training. The story of ‘Pushka’ was discovered to be the richest storybook in terms of the use of entrepreneurship components.

Originality/value: 

For the first time, entrepreneurship components in children’s storybooks were examined in this study. The results of this study can serve as a guide for authors to create books for teaching entrepreneurship to children. Moreover, the valuable storybooks identified in this study in terms of entrepreneurial components can be recommended to educators, parents, and librarians as books suitable for teaching entrepreneurship to children.

Initially, bibliotherapy was used to address emotional issues in adults. However, in the second half of the 19th century, its theoretical and practical foundations expanded significantly. Nowadays, bibliotherapy is recognized as an effective strategy for treating clinical problems. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of an  experimental Bibliotherapy for resilience, and so investigate the effect of twelve archetypes on teenagers with cancer at Behsat Hospital, Hamedan.

 This research employed a semi-experimental design, utilizing a pre-test and post-test approach. The target population consisted of teenagers aged 10 to 14 undergoing chemotherapy for cancer at Besat Hospital in Hamedan. A sample of 30 cancer-afflicted teenagers was randomly selected, ensuring homogeneity in terms of age, duration of illness, socioeconomic status, and other variables. The sample was divided into two groups: a control group of 15 individuals and an experimental group of 15 individuals. The research utilized two questionnaires to measure resilience (Conner and Davidson, 2003) and life expectancy (Schneider, 2006). The resilience questionnaire had 25 items that are scored on a five-level Likert scale from completely agree to completely disagree. The validity of this questionnaire was confirmed by six experts and its reliability was obtained using Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.89. The life expectancy questionnaire has 12 items and 3 components and is implemented as a self-assessment. Out of these 12 items, four items measure operative thinking, four items measure strategic thinking, and four items contain deviant questions. This questionnaire includes two subscales of factor and strategy, and its purpose is to evaluate the level of life expectancy in people. The scoring method of this questionnaire is based on a five-level Likert scaleThe experimental group participated in eight sessions of bibliotherapy intervention using a storytelling skill plan. The therapist researchers used three books as guides: "Living with Chronic Pain: An Acceptance-Based Approach" and its therapist's guide and patient workbook by Kevin Wells and John Sorrell (2013), "Pain Control Practical Guide: A Positive Attitude to Adapting to Chronic Pain" by Michael Nicholas (2014), and "The Hero's Awakening" by Patricia Addson (2014). Data analysis was conducted using independent t-tests and analysis of covariance in SPSS statistical software.

 The results of the independent t-tests revealed a significant difference in mean scores for resilience and life expectancy between the control and experimental groups. Moreover, the bibliotherapy intervention had a 43.6 percent effect on life expectancy and a 64.1 percent effect on resilience among teenagers with cancer.

Service industries are recognized as one of the largest sectors of the economy globally, and it has the most prominent role in the countries' economic growth. To create an essential change that represents a revolutionary change in the technology of a product or service, there is a need to acquire, extract and develop knowledge to achieve a competitive advantage. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the knowledge development clusters in the service industry's knowledge extraction field. In the knowledge management process, knowledge extraction is the main phase of knowledge acquisition. Knowledge acquisition is one of the important aspects of knowledge discovery in databases to help managers make timely decisions by extracting correct knowledge.

Bibliometrics and scientific mapping techniques have been used in this applied research. Research data were collected from the Scopus database from 1986 to 2022. VOSviewer and Bibliometrix R were used to analyze and visualize data and scientific maps. Furthermore, to ensure the accuracy and validity of the results, Bibliometrix and Excel tools have been used to integrate data and remove duplicate data.

The research findings show the knowledge extraction application among 434 documents in 5 clusters of knowledge extraction, artificial intelligence, information retrieval, semantics, and forecasting. In the research, knowledge extraction and data mining are the most widely used words in a single cluster and have the most centrality and betweenness. Likewise, the bibliometric analysis of the data in The Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) shows that the Internet, natural language processing, and machine learning are among the topics that are important next to the healthcare sector. This shows the importance of natural language and machine learning in extracting knowledge in healthcare services. Since 2006, the importance of knowledge extraction has received more attention. The co-occurrence of keywords shows that knowledge extraction is widely used with data mining, extraction, and artificial intelligence. The keywords of knowledge extraction and data mining in cluster 1, semantics, knowledge management, and information services in cluster 2, and information retrieval, internet, and human in cluster 3 have the highest centrality. The theme mapping shows that forecasting, multi-agent systems, and planning are themes with high density and low centrality, which are called niche themes. Semantics, web services, and knowledge-based systems are the main themes with low density and high centrality. Also, artificial intelligence, information management, and decision support systems are themes with low density and centrality, which are also known as emerging or declining themes. The forecasting cluster is located in the strategic knowledge cluster group. Information retrieval, knowledge extraction, and artificial intelligence are included in the cluster of practical knowledge. Semantics as a cluster including various experts and specialists such as domain experts, knowledge engineers, and programmers is in the collaborative cluster.

Knowledge extraction is an emerging interdisciplinary field in knowledge management and has a direct and significant impact on the country's economy. Knowledge development and integration of key issues in knowledge extraction are essential. According to the findings of this study, for the promotion and advancement of this process in the service industry, it is suggested to provide a strategic view in the use of metadata analysis of the context of activity and success of the service industry in knowledge extraction. Moreover, knowledge management as the primary discipline and domain can guarantee success in this process. The clusters identified in this study are also divided into three practical, strategic, and collaborative knowledge clusters. Moreover, the results of this research can help managers of organizations, especially their knowledge managers, to plan and make decisions in the field of service industries to facilitate optimal knowledge extraction and maintain competitive advantage.

Sharif Raḍi (d. 406 H./1016) collected evidence of the eloquent words of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) in the Nahj al-Balagha. Since he did not commit to mentioning his sources, he has made no mention of any of them except in about 17 cases. In the contemporary era, despite numerous studies about the chain of transmitters and sources of Nahj al-Balāgha, there is still a long way to go. One of the important undertakings in this field is the examination of the works whose manuscripts have recently been identified, edited, and published by researchers. Kitāb al-Tawhīd by Qaḍi Nuʿman Maghribī (d. 363 H./974) is one of such works.In the present research, along with a brief biography of Qadi Nu’man and an introductory note to his Kitab al-Tawhid and its significance, some of the sections of the  Nahj al-Balagha that can be traced back in this older source, have been identified through  a comparative analysis. Since Sharif Razi picked out from the texts he referred to, this research can be regarded as one step forward to complete those texts.

Keyword extraction is one of the most important issues in text processing and analysis and provides a high-level and accurate summary of the text. Therefore, choosing the right method to extract keywords from the text is important. The aim of the present study was to compare the performance of three approaches in discovering and extracting the subject keywords of e-books using text mining and machine learning techniques. In this regard, three experimental approaches have been introduced and compared; including the successive implementation of the clustering process, improving the quality of clusters in terms of semantics and enriching the stop words of a specific field; Use of specialized keyword template; Finally, the use of important parts of the text in discovering and extracting key words and important topics of the text. The statistical population includes 1000 e-book titles from the subject fields of library and information science based on the congress classification system. bibliographic information of EBooks was obtained from the congress library database, then the original text was prepared. The extraction of topic keywords and clustering of training data was performed using the non-negative matrix factorization algorithm with three experimental approaches. The quality and performance of the subject clusters resulting from the implementation of three approaches in the automatic classification of experimental data were compared using a support vector machine. The findings showed that the Hamming loss (0.020) and in other words the error rate in the correct classification of experimental texts in the third approach is far less than the other two approaches. Also, the F1 score (0.82), which is the average of the two criteria of Precision (0.87) and recall (0.78) and is a reflection of the correct performance of the classification process in topic labeling of texts, is better in the third approach than the other two approaches. The results showed that the quality and semantic coherence of the subject clusters obtained from the third approach, ie the use of important parts of the text in discovering and extracting the subject, was better compared to the other two approaches. In this approach, by focusing on the main parts of the data, which represent the main content and theme of the text, more meaningful topic clusters were obtained. In addition, the keywords obtained from the topic cluster of the third approach can be used in unspecified and unknown collections in order to extract the unknown thematic content of the whole collection. The results of third approach also was better in terms of accuracy and readability (0.79) and the rate of classification error (0.020) of texts, in comparison of other two approaches.

Biodeterioration of library materials is a worldwide problem in archives and libraries. Investigation of biological agents (quantitatively and qualitatively) as well as environmental factors that affect the survival and persistence of microorganisms, are the main parts of preventive conservation. Therefore, we studied the biological pollution in repositories and other parts of the Documentation Center and Library of the Cultural Heritage and Tourism Research Institute and evaluated the environmental factors (temperature, relative humidity) in order to preserve paper works.

Method and Research Design: 

Quantitative and qualitative investigations of biological contaminants (bacteria and fungi) were performed using sedimentation method (passive method). In addition, environmental factors (temperature and relative humidity) were monitored in audiovisual and records repositories.

Relative humidity and temperature variation rates were high and non-standard in the audiovisual and records repositories. Biological studies showed that the fungal and bacterial contamination level in the library repository was higher than the alert level. The most frequent bacterial isolates were Bacillus and Staphylococcus and the dominant fungal isolates belonged to the genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, Alternaria, Cladosporium, most of which have a high potential to produce decomposing enzymes.

The current research was conducted with the aim of drawing word co-occurrence map in the field of digital transformation in the public sector in the Web of Science database.

In this study, access to information about the status of book publishing in Azeri Turkish and its evolution in the years after the Islamic Revolution is the most important goal. Extracting and obtaining statistics on books published in Azeri Turkish in the last 40 years has led to significant results. In general, the main concern raised in this research is the status of publishing books in Azeri Turkish.

This citation and bibliometric study was performed using descriptive statistics. The statistical population of the present study is 4690 titles of books in Azeri Turkish language published in the whole country between years 1979 to 2018. The specifications of these books have been obtained by referring to reputable databases such as Book House, National Bibliography of Iran. In addition, in order to obtain the specifications of all books published in Azeri Turkish, we have referred to authoritative bibliographies that have been prepared and compiled by renowned bibliographers over the past years.

The results show that the most books published in Azeri Turkish in 2018, related to 374 titles. And the lowest is 8 titles in 1992. Of the mentioned books, 3377 are authored. Publishers of Tabriz are in the first place with the publication of 1707 titles of books in Azeri Turkish language. There are 3404 first edition titles. The number of monolingual books (Azeri Turkish) is 4356 titles and only 334 titles have been published in two or more languages.Most of the books published in Azeri Turkish are related to literature. The steep downward slope of the average number of books has reached three digits, the lowest average number of books related to 2018 is 665 copies. In all the years studied, the average price of books has been increasing. Available statistics show that on average, in the years under study, less than 120 books have been published annually in Azeri Turkish.

A review of various sources and studies showed that no research has been done in relation to the subject under study. The findings of this study can be useful in future decisions and policies in the field of publishing books in Azeri Turkish.

The present study intends to explain the criteria for measuring specialized books, to provide criteria for book ranking so that experts can evaluate and rank the book using the presented criteria.

Methodology/Approach: 

This study, because it uses library-based texts as well as the perspectives of experts from large universities to gather information, is categorized as descriptive-survey research in terms of how data is collected. The statistical population of the present study is 2449 experts in the fields of humanities and behavioral sciences of the country's major universities. The collected information was analyzed and analyzed through a questionnaire with SPSS software. Descriptive indicators (frequency, frequency and mean) and inferential tests (Friedman) were used to analyze the data.

The present study showed that from the point of view of experts in the field of humanities in major universities, publishing and publishing criteria, creator, translator, authored content, translated content, structure and appearance in evaluating and ranking specialized books in the field of humanities. It can be fundamental.Discussion and

The result of the present study is to provide evaluation criteria that can be very important for both professionals and librarians to collect resources, resource ranking criteria can be useful for publishers to produce quality resources. Using the views of experts in the present study, it is possible to qualitatively rank the works by prioritizing the criteria by the experts in each field of knowledge. These rankings can help readers and researchers find higher quality resources, and librarians can help select and purchase higher quality resources if a large organization has ranked them. With the use of new tools, the speed of access to information may have improved, but the problem of finding reliable and quality resources remains strong, and ranking resources can play a role in solving this problem. Resource ranking criteria can also be useful for publishers to produce quality resources. Using the views of experts in the present study, it is possible to qualitatively rank the works by prioritizing the criteria by the experts in each field of knowledge. These rankings can help readers and researchers find higher quality resources, and librarians can help select and purchase higher quality resources if a large organization has ranked them. Criteria can also be important for libraries that self-evaluate resources. Using the criteria, libraries will be able to evaluate their collection and provide the recommended book quality rating to their users. It may not be necessary for libraries to review all of the criteria mentioned in the present study, especially since it has been clearly demonstrated in the prioritization made by experts that some criteria are more important than others in a field of knowledge. In library policy, the ranking can only be limited to important criteria, or non-important items can be removed from the set of criteria in each field and the final ranking can be given from the total number of evaluated criteria. ,

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of leaderboard on the reading rate of elementary school students.

The research method is a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the present study includes all second-grade students in Karaj schools, from among whom 120 students of one school (80 for the experimental group and 40 for the control group) were selected as a sample using the available sampling method. and were randomly placed in two experimental groups and one control group. The control group received regular training without the intervention of the leaderboard; The first experimental group received training with an individual leaderboard, and the second experimental group received training with a group leaderboard. The research tool includes a researcher-made checklist made whose face validity was checked by the primary school teachers and its reliability was checked by the agreement between the coders using the intra-class reliability coefficient method and it was confirmed by 100%. At the end, the data of this research were analyzed by using one-variable analysis of covariance using SPSS software.

The findings of the research showed that the difference in the adjusted average of the three groups in the reading rate variable is significant (P<0.01, F=94.85). This finding means that there is a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the average score of the reading rate and after using the leaderboard, the reading rate of the students in the experimental groups has increased compared to the students in the control group. Furthermore, the difference in the mean of the reading rate variable between the two groups under training is not significant (P>0.05). As a result, the effect of two educational interventions, group and individual leaderboard on increasing students’ reading rate is almost at the same level.

Originality/value:

 The results of this research showed that both group and individual leader board educational interventions have a significant effect on increasing the amount of study of students. A good leaderboard supports competence and autonomy, and the connectedness and satisfaction that comes when you feel understood and loved by the people you care about, and a sense of closeness to the people you play with. In addition, another aspect of leaderboard as a gamification element is the collaborative atmosphere. This feature allows students to work collaboratively through pair or group work because all activities can be solved individually or in groups. In addition, this aspect of leaderboard makes students more involved in the class and participate in the class.

The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that affect the acceptance of e-books by 1st-period high school students of Isfahan city based on the constructive factors of the Technology Acceptance Model 3 (TAM3).

The participants were 460 1st-period high school students from the of Isfahan city, who were randomly selected by randomized cluster sampling.

Path Analysis of the research data showed that all the determined paths in the conceptual research model, except the direct effect of the "result demonstrability" on the "perceived usefulness", are significant and the model has an acceptable overall fit. The mediator variable, "experience", could only affect the relationship between "subjective norms" and "intention to use ". This means that the more experience that a teenager has about the use of technology, the greater impact on their intention to use e-books. None of the voluntariness and experience mediating variables could have an effect on other relationships of the model.

Many developed countries have accepted e-books as an inseparable format form the libraries, schools, colleges, and many centers. So, they are taking advantage of them. The results of this study, which was performed based on a group of teenagers and students with the TAM3 model, showed that with clear and precise steps, many of activities and investments can be coordinated to use this technology as much as possible also introduce in society as a positive cultural behavior.

The statistical population consisted of all boy and girl students of the first, second and third grade elementary schools (age group B) in the academic year of 2017-2018 (12933 students), of which 1000 samples were selected using Cluster randomization. Then the most readable children's books were extracted through a survey, which ultimately included twenty story books. The research tools included a researcher-made questionnaire and the Plesk creativity checklist.

The findings showed that the "snowy white" has the highest frequency of studying among children, and "Hazrat-e- Fatemeh" has the lowest frequency. Also, in the text of the story books, among the components of the Plesk creativity model, the component of "attention" has been used in all the books, but some other components, such as "narrowing the concept" and "Inversion" has been less considered. In addition, in the story books, the "reinforcement" component is not absolutely used. In general, in story books, the element "nutrition of fantasy" is considered in order to pave the way for the growth of child's imagination, and the need to pay more attention to other neglected elements of creativity in these books seems necessary.
