Abstract

Background and Objectives: , the purpose of this research is to represent the meaning of teachers' and administrators' perceptions and descriptions of Jabir's plan in elementary school and the challenges facing it.
Methods: The current research is a qualitative study that was conducted with a phenomenological approach. The community studied in this research was the principals and primary teachers of Tabriz city. The research sample included 18 managers and teachers with experience in Tabriz, who were selected as a purposeful sampling of the expert type. The criterion of the number of samples was theoretical saturation. In-depth and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. Data analysis was done by the method of Strabert and Carpenter (2003).
Findings: 432 codes were extracted from interviews with administrators and teachers in Tabriz about the Jaber plan and its challenges, which are in the form of 4 main themes (the necessary platforms for the success of the Jaber plan, the positive consequences and merits of the Jaber plan, the disadvantages and limitations of the Jaber plan, and the methods of modification and optimization Jaber plan) and 16 sub-themes of these themes were organized.
Conclusion: Considering that Jaber's plan is one of the project-oriented plans in elementary period, by observing the above requirements and removing the mentioned obstacles, it can be expected that Jaber bin Hayyan's plan will have the desired results of ability to learn research, have the spirit of research and have research skills in elementary school students.
