Abstract

This research was carried out with the aim of investigating the impact of the implementation of Khana School's transformational package on the reading, writing, and life skills of the elementary school students of Piranshahr city. The research method was quasi-experimental and pre-test-post-test design with two experimental groups and two control groups. The statistical population of the research was all fourth grade students of Piranshahr. Using the multi-stage random sampling method, four classes (140 people), two classes of the experimental group (70 people) and two classes of the control group (70 people) were selected. In collecting statistical data, a researcher-made diagnostic test for reading and writing level and a researcher-made questionnaire for learning life skills were used. The face and content validity of these questionnaires were confirmed by professors and experts in life skills and educational sciences. The reliability of the two reading and writing tests using the parallel method or peer tests was 0.87 and 0.82, respectively, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the reliability of the life skills questionnaire was 0.78. The data was analyzed using covariance analysis and SPSS software version 26. The results showed that the students who had received the transformational package of the Khana school had a higher score in reading, writing and life skills compared to the group that did not receive the transformational package of the Khana school. Therefore, it is better for teachers to use an integrated approach to strengthen language skills and life skills in different curricula.
