        Curriculum design is one of the important challenges of university professors, because arranging curriculum elements in a way that leads to learning is a difficult task. For this reason, the existence of curriculum templates can help university professors and curriculum planners in designing and compiling curricula in a way and in making decisions. The model in the development of university curricula is interpreted as a detailed plan to achieve the goal. For this purpose, the present research has been conducted with the aim of examining the curriculum patterns of higher education in Iran. The above research has been done with a systematic literature review and qualitative content analysis technique (theme analysis) among sources and documents collected from scientific databases. The results of the research show that the focus of the researchers in providing models was mostly on Tyler's four elements and less on the nine and ten elements of the curriculum, and the macro dimensions of the curriculum in higher education have been neglected. Designing the proposed models (providing the framework) is one of the important activities of curriculum planners and decision makers, and university educations are also forced to design and implement the proposed models (determined frameworks) of the curriculum. But the focus of attention that researchers should pay more attention to is the extent of attention to the larger dimensions of the curriculum and not the elements and content of the curriculum.

The data of this research was based on a semi-structured interview with 14 new teachers of Farhangian University, which continued based on purposeful and criterion-based sampling until theoretical saturation was reached. Data analysis was done by coding method. The reliability of the data was checked and approved by the Holstein method and the validity of the interview questions by 4 supervisors. The research identified the factors affecting professional challenges around three main categories: infrastructural and planning, scientific and academic, organizational and human challenges as follows: lack of up-to-date software and hardware, lack of proper planning, lack of educational facilities, lack of financial injection and incentives. lack of suitable books, ineffective old resources, inappropriate structure of educational programs, linear and one-dimensional programs, little knowledge of professors in the field of practice, little knowledge of students, outdated knowledge, non-native knowledge, traditional teaching methods, neglecting learners , not considering collaborative and team methods, directive and prescriptive laws, contradictory regulations, detailed laws, sectoral policies, extreme ideology, untested policies, centralization in policy development, bureaucracy and paperwork, and the complexity of structures.

The research community is all the articles (124 articles) that have been presented in specialized and scientific databases since 2009 and 2015 so far about the curriculum model of religious education. The sample of the research is 25 articles, which were selected based on thematic monitoring, theoretical saturation of data and purposefully. The research data were collected from the qualitative analysis of the studied documents. In order to analyze the data, content analysis was used in the method of categorization based on Roberts' synthesis research model. In order to check the validity of the findings, the recoding of the findings was used based on Scott's method (2012) and the agreement coefficient between the evaluators was calculated as 81%.

        The main objective of this research was to explore teachers' firsthand experiences regarding the challenges of instructing in bilingual multi-grade classrooms. Employing a qualitative approach and descriptive phenomenological strategy, the study involved primary school teachers from Dinour district, Kermanshah province, selected through purposeful sampling based on specific criteria. Fourteen teachers meeting the requirement of teaching in bilingual multi-grade classes were chosen through data saturation. Research data was collected via semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the six-step Colaizzi method, resulting in the classification of findings into two general themes, nine categories, and 42 codes. The study highlighted those teachers not only encountered challenges typical of multi-grade classrooms but also grappled with the complexities of students' bilingualism, intensifying the difficulty of their teaching role. Primary challenges faced by teachers in multi-grade classrooms encompassed aspects related to students, teachers, curriculum, organizational and administrative factors, along with familial challenges. Bilingualism-related hurdles included difficulties in comprehending academic concepts, excessive reliance on rote memorization, misinterpretation and misrepresentation of ideas, limited articulation of students' thoughts, and identity conflicts. Consequently, the research proposed potential solutions for policymakers to make informed decisions and offer support to teachers, ultimately enhancing the overall educational experience.
