Abstract
The aim of the present study was to review the sixth grade elementary school social studies textbook in terms of attention to the principles of brain-based learning. The statistical population of the study included the textbook of social studies in the sixth grade of elementary school, which was selected as the research sample by using whole number sampling. The research design was qualitative and was done using content analysis method. The unit of analysis was the pages of the book (text, pictures, questions and activities).The present study instrument was a researcher-made checklist designed based on the literature in the field of brain-based learning, and its validity was examined by calculating the kappa agreement coefficient The findings showed that in the sixth grade social studies textbook, the least attention was paid to the orchestrated immersion principle and the highest attention was paid to the active processing principle, while moderate attention has been paid to the relaxed awareness principle. It can be concluded that the designers of the curriculum use diversity components in the presentation of texts, images and activities, as well as observing the social world and carrying out practical activities based on concrete and objective learning experiences such as scientific excursions. Experimenting and role-playing and the use of film, clip and other digital content that has a great impact on the understanding and development of social cognition of teenagers in the age of information and communication technologies have received little attention.
