Content Analysis of Shad Network Educational Videos and Experimental Science Books of the First Elementary Course Based on Environmental Protection Education

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.
