Abstract:   (562 Views)
The aim of this research was to investigate the degree of attention given to skill development in the elementary school curriculum. This study was a descriptive survey conducted to explore and assess the current status of skill development in the elementary school curriculum. The statistical population consisted of elementary school teachers in government schools in Tehran, who were selected using a random sampling method, and the sample size was determined to be 196 individuals based on Cochran's formula. A researcher-made questionnaire consisting of 104 questions was used to collect data. The hypotheses were tested using a one-sample t-test. The results showed that the level of attention given to skill development in the elementary school curriculum was inadequate for the following skill components: self-awareness, courage, emotional and behavioral control, empathy, peer relationships, cooperation, speaking skills, effective listening, honesty, trustworthiness, non-jealousy, creative thinking, critical thinking, problem-solving, time management, hardware and software, global internet network, environmental awareness, optimal energy consumption, waste management, entrepreneurship, financial management, healthy eating, appropriate clothing, and disease awareness. Based on these findings, practical suggestions were provided to enhance the development of these skills in the elementary school curriculum.
