Abstract

This study aimed to analyze strategies for enhancing group learning in primary education from the perspective of university professors in Yazd. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach and content analysis. Data were collected and analyzed through semi-structured interviews with 17 specialists, using purposive sampling. Three methods were employed to ensure the validity of the findings: external auditing, participant review of results, and continuous monitoring to ensure the validity of the findings. The research results led to the identification and categorization of three selected components, six core components, and 34 sub-components as strategies for improving group learning. The findings emphasized the importance of factors such as creating rich and high-quality learning environments, purposeful social citizenship education, and strengthening systematic models in schools. Moreover, socialization education in schools was identified as a necessity for nurturing individuals who are knowledgeable, responsible, and capable of facing social challenges. The study highlighted the role of teachers as key agents in shaping desirable social actions among students. Teachers' teaching methods should encourage active participation, group collaboration, and constructive exchange of ideas. Additionally, fostering a culture of teamwork among all school stakeholders was considered a critical prerequisite for establishing effective group learning environments. Finally, the research emphasizes the need to nurture informed and responsible citizens through the design of rich learning environments and systematic education in schools.
