Presenting the management model of teaching life skills to elementary school students Based on triangulation factors

This study aimed to provide a pattern of life skill education management for primary students based on trifurcation factors. In the quantitative phase, the statistical population included 1457 primary teachers of Rafsanjan. Applying Cochran formula, the sample size was estimated at least 304, which were selected by simple random sampling. In order to explain the results better and discover the hidden cases in quantitative phase, 13 depth interviews were conducted in qualitative phase through purposive sampling method in the form of snow-ball. The data-collection tool in the life skill education component and trifurcation factors was researcher-made questionnaire. Its reliability by confirmatory factor analysis, its face validity and reliability by Alpha Cronbach calculation were estimated respectively 830.0 and 81.0. The research executive pattern was analyzed using the collected data from questionnaire and also applying descriptive and inferential statistical skills. The research pattern was proposed with 15 life skill components and 10 trifurcation factor components. The results of the research show that textbooks as one of the components of trifurcation factors are among the most effective components on mental health promotion. It can predict 6 life skill components; communication, representable skills, self- responsibility, work ethics, management, and healthy life skills. And society as the other effective component from behavioral trifurcation factors, can predict 5 life skill components; decision-making, creative thinking, targeting, problem-solving, and self-consciousness.
