The research method was descriptive and content analysis type. The statistical population of all the educational videos of elementary Persian course (4th, 5th and 6th) in the official content section of Shaad network. According to the topic of the research, sampling was not done and all the statistical population was examined by the full number method. The coded categories are extracted from the document of expressions of evaluation of educational films, which are in the form of ten components (objectiveness, learning levels, scientific validity, learning experiences, learning strategies, communication with the audience, artistic creativity, principles of message design, documentation and values). cultural) was examined. The data obtained from the review of the films were analyzed using frequency tables, mean and Shannon's entropy method. The results showed that the content standards of learning levels, purposefulness, cultural values, scientific validity, and learning experiences have been met in the official content section of the Shaad network in the educational videos of Farsi lessons. Also, the content criteria of communication with the audience, the principles of scientific design and documentation, and learning strategies have been observed to a moderate extent, and the content criterion of creativity has been given little attention. Based on Shannon's entropy method, it was also determined that the content criterion of learning levels with the information load of 0.9998 and the importance coefficient of 0.3344 has the most importance and the content criterion of artistic creativity with the information load of 0.9715 and the importance coefficient of 0.32057 has the least importance. In order to determine the stability and validity of the findings, the second coder was used for 60% of the cases, and the agreement rate was 0.92. One of the most important suggestions of this research is to pay attention to the criteria and content indicators for the production of educational videos in different dimensions, which improves learning.
