Abstract :
This research aimed to design and validate the curriculum pattern of the Iranian-Islamic lifestyle in the secondary education system of Iran. This is a mixed-method qualitative-quantitative study that used interviews, documents and the descriptive survey method. In the qualitative part, 12 experts in the field of education and university professors participated in the study. To select the participants, the purposive sampling method was used in the qualitative part and the cluster sampling method was employed in the quantitative part of the study. Moreover, the stratified random sampling method was applied in each cluster. MAXQDA was used to analyze the interviews. According to the results, 110 themes in the form of 10 components, including thinking and creativity (4 concepts), health issues (5 concepts), economic issues (4 concepts), defense and security issues (4 concepts), social and sociological issues (7 concepts), ideological and religious issues (10 concepts), cultural and artistic issues (6 concepts), scientific and educational issues (7 concepts), and psychological issues (4 concepts) were introduced to analyze the components of the Iranian-Islamic lifestyle. It was found that the interviews on the ideological and religious components had higher frequency and received more attention. .Hence, the culture of supporting applied research curricula should be institutionalized in schools, and workshops and training courses should be held to improve the knowledge of teachers in the field of applied research curriculum.
