Abstract :
The present applied research was conducted with the aim of investigating the elements of the Mock-based curriculum in higher education with a mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative). The professors and curriculum experts were selected as the statistical population of the qualitative section with the purposeful sampling method and the theoretical saturation technique in the number of 13 people. In the quantitative section, 375 students were selected as the statistical population using a multi-stage relative cluster sampling method.Semi-structured interviews were used in the qualitative part and questionnaires were used in the quantitative part to collect data. Qualitative data analysis was based on inductive qualitative content analysis, and quantitative data analysis was based on confirmatory factor analysis and regression. In the results of this research, the elements of the Bermuk-based curriculum in higher education included 22 main categories and 108 subcategories. The findings of the research showed that the components have the necessary qualitative and quantitative validity, and also the evaluation of the curriculum based on Bermuk is more effective than other elements.
