Abstract :

Introduction: By implementing real and necessary skills derived from divine teachings, a peaceful life can be provided for anxious modern men. This study was conducted with the aim of rethinking the content of the life skills curriculum by Islamic education specialists for sixth grade students. research methodology: The current research is based on the use of a mixed method, including qualitative (conventional content analysis) and quantitative methods. The participants in the qualitative part were specialists in Islamic education, and the sample size was obtained through the snowball method with the participation of 17 people with the theoretical saturation of information. The second statistical population was comprised of 33 curriculum specialists who were selected through the Cochran formula. The opinion of the first group was received through a deep, semi-structured interview, and then the data was summarized and analyzed in three stages of coding. In the second group, information was gathered with a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS software with the one-sample t method. The quantitative validity was obtained in the form of face validity, and the reliability coefficient was found using Cronbach's method. At the end, the relevant designed model was approved and validated by specialists. Findings: A desirable model of Islamic life skills curriculum content with 18 main and central categories was obtained. Conclusion: The content should be provided for every student based on all dimensions of human existence, the realities of the living environment (differences, cultural and religious conditions), in order to create and strengthen national unity, with the help of local and oral literature and in a practical way instead of merely non-functional theoretical skills and with a balanced view of this world and the hereafter, with an artistic and aesthetic approach.
