Abstract :

The current research method is qualitative and based on theme analysis and practical in terms of purpose. The participants in the research were university experts in curriculum and quantum physics fields, who were selected according to the nature of the subject, 15 people based on purposeful sampling until theoretical saturation. The research tool was semi-structured interviews, the questions were adjusted during the interview. For the validity of the findings, the researcher rechecked the entire coding process. Also, for face validity and reliability, the text of several interviews was coded with another coder, and based on the agreement coefficient between the coders, its value was 89%. Thematic analysis method with open, central and selective coding was also used to analyze the data. The findings showed that 4 main themes include: quantum curriculum development factors, quantum curriculum development consequences, quantum curriculum development intervention conditions, and quantum curriculum development strategies are the main components of quantum physics based curriculum. Also, the indicators of this program include: (the ability to see purposefully, the ability to feel empowered, the ability to intuitively recognize, create multidimensional learning, create potential learning capabilities, create dynamic learning environments, use all brain neural networks in learning, butt conflict, attitude teachers and administrators, lack of knowledge of quantum approach, creative teaching, knowledge and awareness of students, intuition-based teaching, participation of students in class and involving students, use of encouragement and reward in education and promotion of students' responsibility).It can be concluded that the curriculum based on quantum physics, from the point of view of experts, has several components that curriculum planners can pay attention to in curriculum design.
