The research method was descriptive and content analysis. The statistical population of the research included the experimental science textbooks of the sixth grades of the academic year of 2021, simple random sampling was used and the size of the population was equal to the sample. The data collection tool was a content analysis checklist (adapted from Phillips et al., 2015). The unit of analysis consisted of complete sentences and paragraphs, questions, figures, tables, margins or definitions, and each stage of a laboratory or practical activity. The reliability of the instrument was estimated to be 0.82 through calculating the Holsti index. Data analysis was done using compensatory data processing method, that is, Shannon entropy. The results showed that the highest level of attention of elementary science textbooks is related to the science as a way of investigating and the least attention was paid to the science textbooks of elementary school related to the component of science as the interaction of science, technology, and society. The results also showed that the balanced ratio in the distribution of components was not observed in science textbooks. The general result of the research indicated that the distribution of the components of the nature of science in elementary science textbooks needs to be revised based on the results of current research.

The research is of a qualitative type using the content analysis method. The research population is Persian books, Persian writing and experimental sciences. The measurement tool was a checklist made by the researcher based on the background whose validity was verified by experts and its reliability was verified by Scott method (89.5) and reproducibility technique (inter-coder reliability). The data from the content analysis were analyzed using the three Shannon entropy steps. The unit of analysis is the phrase. The highest attention with 182 frequencies (32.6%) is related to the skill of "ability to establish adaptive interpersonal relationships" and the lowest attention with 108 times (19.3%) is related to the skill of "ability to cope with stress". Then, 148 times (26.5%) the skill of "ability to communicate effectively with others" and 120 times (21.6%) the skill of "ability to cope with emotions" have been considered in elementary school textbooks, respectively. In the above books, the highest importance factor is related to the skill of "ability to communicate effectively with others" (0.1739) and the lowest importance factor is related to "ability to cope with stress" (0.1465). The most attention to the total life skills is related to the book "Persian" with 214 frequencies (38.4%) and the least attention to the total life skills is related to the book "Persian writing" with 155 frequencies (27.7%). Based on the findings, The reviewed books have taught adaptive coping and communication skills, but there is a difference between the amount of attention paid to each component of the skills and in different books.

The research method was a content analysis with practical goals. The research population included the book of experimental sciences. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The reliability of the data was checked by the Holstein method. In the first category of self-management components, communication skills and information acquisition skills were investigated, and the communication skills component was considered significantly more than the other two components. The second category of individual, behavioral and environmental components was of equal interest. The third category of health maintenance component was more frequent than minor, chronic and acute diseases. fourth category of regulatory component was superior to other components, i.e. preventive, reactive and restoring health. The fifth category of the physical component was more important than the mental, emotional, spiritual, school and community components. According to the results of the research, the homogeneity in the different components of self-care in the textbook of experimental sciences has not been observed. According to the findings, it is suggested that the status of teaching self-care in the textbook of experimental sciences of the second elementary school be revised. Manuscript profile -

The important feature of the Modern Society is rationality and rationalism. Max Weber considers this rationality as instrumental rationality; a rationality that is distrustful of religious traditions and laws in socializing and believing in human self-sufficiency. What we want to know is the way by which a religious person can benefit from the progresses and developments in the modern World within the framework of religion beliefs. Catholics have taken the approach of “practical theology” for this purpose. Practical theology raises theories about human’s relationship with God and his free actions towards God, and discusses the means that God has given to human to achieve that goal; In the Islamic field, ethics and jurisprudence can be introduced with conditions in the area of the practical theology in Islam, and by applying this method, the religious people would be able to overcome the challenges they face in the modern World. There is a philosophical approach applied for these theologies, so there is no escape from rationalizing moral and jurisprudential rules. In this type of theology, we have to use sciences such as medicine, psychology, sociology and other sciences. The advantages of these theologies are included of correcting some fatwas (legal opinions on the Islamic Law), increasing the power of explanation and explaining the rules and ways of realizing religious ideals..Keywords: Practical Theology, Modern Challenges of Family, Jurisprudence, the perpose of religion، Experimental Sciences.
