Measuring and evaluating the components of the native model of the preschool curriculum with an emphasis on life skills with the IPA approach

Preschool education as the first stage of formal education provides a suitable platform for the growth and development of children's personality. The purpose of this study was Measuring and evaluating the components of the native model of the preschool curriculum with an emphasis on life skills with the IPA approach.

The statistical population of the quantitative part included all the kindergarten teachers of Fars province in the number of 5112 people; Based on Cochran's formula and two-stage cluster method, 375 people participated in the research. In order to collect data, a researcher-made 69-question questionnaire was used. The importance-performance analysis technique was also used to analyze the data

The results of the importance-performance analysis showed that the indicators of "creative thinking, problem solving, critical thinking and physical health" are in the "keep up the good work" area, in other words, the organization's performance in these indicators is favorable; Therefore, the organization must maintain this desirable performance. The citizenship rights education index is in the "low priority" area; In fact, this index has little importance from the point of view of experts, and the performance of the organization is also low in it. The reason for this issue can be that this concept has been sufficiently addressed. The indicators of "Communication and Effective Communication Skills, Managing Emotions, Decision-Making Skills, and Self-Awareness" are included in the "Focus Here" area. In other words, these components are highly important from the point of view of experts, but the performance of the organization is low. Therefore, the organization should focus on them

It seems that in order to improve the curriculum model in the preschool period, the education organization should pay more attention to the components that have high importance and poor performance.
