Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the level of attention to the main components of environmental education in the content of textbooks of experimental sciences in the fourth and fifth grades of primary school, then the results were compared with each other. The present study is descriptive-applied. The Shannon entropy method was used to analyze the data. The present study is descriptive-applied. The Shannon entropy method was used to analyze the data. The statistical population in this study was the total content of experimental science books in the fourth and fifth grades of elementary school, including text, images, think, data collection, etc., which are based on the components of water, air, soil, plants and animals. Noise, natural and energy pollution were investigated and coded. The findings of this study showed that the fifth science book paid less attention to environmental markers than the fourth science book. In both books, the component of plants and animals has the highest coefficient of importance compared to other components, and in contrast to the component of natural and noise pollution, it showed the lowest degree of importance.
