The statistical population included 20 faculty members and experts familiar with education and training and experts in the fields of entrepreneurship and economics, and 15 people were selected as a sample using the purposeful sampling method and considering the saturation law. The components of the model of economic education with an entrepreneurial approach were identified using semi-structured interviews and open coding. To measure the qualitative validity, the peer review method was used. Retest reliability and intra-subject agreement method were used to calculate the reliability of the conducted interviews. A total of 112 indicators were identified in four dimensions and 11 components.
