Abstract
The main purpose of this research is to analyze the content of the book series of Payam-e Asemani taught at junior high schools based on their consideration of the components of life skills. The analysis included all the texts, images and exercises of the textbooks of the seventh, eighth and ninth grades in the academic year of 1402-1401, using the checklist of indicators. The statistical population of the present study included three volumes of Payam-e Asemani textbooks of junior high school, which due to the limited statistical population, no sampling was done and the sample size is equal to the statistical population. For data analysis, descriptive statistics as well as Shannon's entropy method for weighting the indicators of life skills were used. The results showed that in the seventh grade, critical thinking components had the highest frequency of 26.3%, in the eighth grade, the problem-solving component had the highest frequency, and in the ninth grade, critical thinking skill was the most frequent 23.6%. In all three grades, according to the table of importance or weighting, the highest component was empathy with 109 items and a weight of 0.1146, and the lowest one was creative thinking having 44 items with a weight of 0.0814.
