Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the components and objectives of the storytelling curriculum with a qualitative method based on interviews with relevant experts. The research approach is qualitative and its a survey method. The statistical population included all curriculum experts and primary education professors in universities who have research activities in lesson planning and primary education. To select the sample, purposive sampling was used. The specialists were purposefully selected. The aim was to increase the likelihood of the presence of all experts in the field in the sample. The logic and purpose of theoretical sampling are determined by the type of coding. First, the theoretical foundations and main themes of the interviews were extracted, coded, and classified. Two expert referees, open codes and subcategories, main categories, and finally abstracts were extracted. Therefore, it is possible to design a curriculum based on storytelling for the first year of elementary school based on Hokins' educational model.
