Participants included 20 teachers that have experienced the method mentioned above in their class teaching in primary schools. An abductive content analysis was conducted to determine the main and sub-categories. The identified barriers and facilitators were categorized according to the stages of the design thinking process: empathy, definition and idea generation, prototype construction and evaluation. Regarding continuance factors, six categories were identified: learning and instructional activities, content organization strategies, game conditions, teacher-related factors, student-related factors, and evaluation-related factors.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate the views of experts in relation to the personal theorizing and its role in teaching excellence. In this regard, among the professors who had scientific experience and works were selected and interviewed. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview. Interviews were conducted face-to-face and virtual. After coding, the collected data was analyzed using the categorization method. The results showed that from the point of view of most of the professors, having experience, knowledge and scientific awareness are among the prerequisites for personal theorizing. Also, the professors believed that the relationship between general theories and personal theorizing is in three forms: whole to part, integrated, and technical-artistic. According to the professors' point of view, increasing knowledge and improving professors' performance are the most important opportunities, and the lack of experience of professors is the most important challenge to personal theorizing.

Abstract
This study analyzes Iranian research on science education curriculum focusing on the nature of science.How the nature of science has been addressed in Iranian research on science education curriculum is question. This study was conducted with a qualitative approach and by reviewing Iranian studies. 32 documents were examined and analyzed. The review and analysis indicate that Iranian studies have mainly focused and pay a lot of attention to the intended curriculum, at the expense of sidelining the implemented and acquired curricula.There is little field research from classrooms and a huge gap in interpretive research Also, there is almost no research on teaching the nature of science to primary students.Classroom activities and learners' experiences in educational environments are an integral part of the curriculum, therefore, it is necessary to conduct qualitative field research, such as ethnography, for gaining a deeper understanding of the implemented and experienced levels of the curriculum.
