Abstract

Using a collaborative approach, this qualitative research aimed to facilitate the learning
of the history of the earth in the fifth grade of elementary science with a lesson study approach. The
statistical population of the present study included 12 female students of the fifth grade of Baran
Primary School, Javanroud City, Zelan Village, Kermanshah Province. The data were collected through
semi-structured interview and observation made by the members of the research team in two stages to
reach theoretical saturation. The team reviewed the lesson plan and its implementation in two stages in
the form of the first and second teaching sessions. At the beginning of the work, the members of the
group chose a lesson from the history of the earth and evaluated the initial lesson plan and its
implementation during several meetings. According to the evaluation of the first teaching, they
explained the plan for the second lesson and implemented it. The process of data analysis was done by
open coding, axial coding and selective coding schemes. 122 open codes were obtained, and the second
stage after removing and merging, the codes resulted in 15 main codes and finally by categorizing the
main codes in more general categories, 3 selective codes of space management and educational tools,
knowledge of pedagogy and psychological skills were obtained. The results of open coding and their
classification in core codes showed various factors such as active teaching method, participation and
interaction, communication skills, creativity and innovation. They are effective in facilitating the learning
of a lesson on the history of the earth.
