The aim of this study was to develop and identify the components of the content of the curriculum of the elementary course of global citizenship.
Methodology: This research was applied in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of implementation method. The statistical population of the present study was 833 articles of all domestic and foreign articles and documents related to the discussion of global citizenship in the period 2010 to 2021. For this purpose, 65 internal and external documents and articles were purposefully reviewed. Library method was used to collect information, and checklist and receipt tools were used. The validity of the study was reviewed and confirmed by experts and the reliability was calculated to be 0.632. This research was conducted by content analysis method in MAXQDA 2018 software.
Findings: Findings showed that regarding the components of curriculum content with a global citizen approach, 31 basic themes, 7 organizing themes and 3 comprehensive themes were identified. Inclusive and organizing themes included knowledge components (global literacy and global concepts), value and attitude components (global perspective, global responsibility and flexibility), and skill components (social skills and cognitive skills).
Conclusion: Considering the comprehensive and organizing themes, it is necessary to pay attention to the global citizen, and education should revise the content of primary school textbooks in order to raise children in order to achieve citizenship content

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics of altruism in the elementary school hedyehhaie aseman curriculum.Method: The research approach was applied in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of the method of documentary study. The research population included hedyehhaie aseman books for elementary school (second to sixth grade) in the academic year 2020-21, which due to the nature of the subject of all grade books. In order to validate the accuracy of the data, the researcher's self-review method and peer review were used, and for data reliability, simultaneous review was used. Checklist was used for data collection and content analysis method was used for data analysis by manual coding method.Findings: The findings of this study included 6 main categories, 16 sub-categories and 98 concepts that the main categories of family belonging (kinship and intrinsic love), friendship (communication skills, biological connection, democracy), socialization (citizenship, Homophobia, coexistence), educability (awareness, counseling, optimism), originality (confidence building, economic security), self-knowledge (selfishness, self-construction, concern) were identified in it.Conclusion: The results showed that altruism through education, while promoting the position and role of students, developed their individual and group competencies and made them responsible for the actions and living phenomena of society.

Purpose The aim of this study was to identify moral concepts in students in the fifth and sixth grade textbooks of elementary school.Methodology: Content analysis was used in two steps to achieve the objectives of the research. In the first step, qualitatively, the method of analyzing conventional or inductive content was used to identify categories. In the second step, after accessing the categories, the categories were reviewed quantitatively, systematically and objectively. The statistical population of this study, all Persian books (reading), social studies, gifts of heaven and experimental sciences in the academic year 1398-1399, fifth and sixth grades of elementary school, which included 8 volumes of books, sampling in this research was done theoretically and the criterion of classification, existence Moral content was considered in the structure of textbook lessons.Findings: Unfortunately, the alignment of ethical concepts in textbooks has not been addressed and of the 12 ethical concepts, only "thinking", "good behavior", "cooperation" has been considered.Conclusion: Other concepts are inefficient in terms of the number of repetitions and variations in alignment at different bases.
