  The fundamental issue addressed in this research stems from the critique of traditional teaching methods that rely on student passivity. Accordingly, to address this shortcoming, the present study endeavors to identify appropriate educational dimensions in light of Imam Reza's (AS) educational approach, considering the capacity of extracurricular activities in both primary and secondary schools. The impetus for this research lies in the notion of utilizing the lofty educational concepts of the Infallible Imams (AS), particularly the educational insights of Imam Reza (AS) in the upbringing of children. The study employed thematic analysis, a prevalent and rigorous qualitative research method. Participants were purposefully selected from the research community (comprising experienced educational researchers and university professors, as well as seminary professors specializing in the foundations of Razavi conduct) using a snowball sampling technique, resulting in a total of 17 participants. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the aforementioned experts and specialists. In the first phase, seminary professors were consulted to code themes and concepts from the text. In the second phase, the views of university professors were sought to validate the selected codes in alignment with extracurricular school activities. The research findings identified five educational dimensions aligned with the educational approach of Imam Reza (AS) for extracurricular school activities: self-improvement, decision-making and problem-solving skills, social relationships, personal growth, and interpersonal communication. Within the framework of these dimensions, a study of the Imam's conduct reveals the teachings related to individual and social ethics and life skills that can be incorporated into extracurricular school activities. Given that Imam Reza (AS) viewed education as encompassing the growth of all aspects of human existence, encompassing attention to all internal and environmental dimensions of the individual, including society, family, and children, it is imperative that educational planners and administrators pay greater attention to utilizing the educational concepts and insights of Imam Reza (AS) in the structuring of extracurricular school activities. A framework for extracurricular school activities should be developed in consultation with experts and specialists, ensuring that educational dimensions based on the Razavi (AS) conduct are incorporated.
