        Multi-grade classes are one of the important strategies of the Ministry of Education in order to provide access to quality education for students in less developed and remote areas with less population. The aim of the present study was to identify the factors affecting the quality of multi-grade classes. This research was conducted using qualitative approach and thematic analysis method in 1400. The statistical population includes educational leaders, professors of North Khorasan, Razavi and South Khorasan provinces who have teaching experience in multi-level classes or about multi-level classes. The statistical sample of this research is 12 university professors and educational leaders who were selected using the purposeful sampling method. The data was collected using a semi-structured interview based on the principle of saturation. After analyzing the data using review validation by the interviewees, peer review, and note taking, 198 primary codes were obtained, which were grouped into 35 general categories. The model obtained from this research showed that in the quality of multi-grade classes, 5 main themes include professional competence and characteristics related to the teacher, family, physical condition of the class and schools, macro-educational policies and themes related to learners.

        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.

This research is based on the purpose of developmental and applied research and in terms of nature and methodology is one of the combined research that has been done in two stages: qualitative and quantitative. In the first stage, qualitative research based on data theory and using a purposeful approach and applying saturation criteria, in-depth interviews were conducted with 21 participants for a total of 1044 minutes and the data theory theory method was used to analyze the interviews. Is. A total of 684 open source or primary code was extracted. From a total of open source, 112 basic concepts were extracted. In the next stage, the basic concepts were classified into 22 coherent categories according to the aspects of similarity and semantic difference. In the second stage, quantitative research by preparing a researcher-made questionnaire includes 112 specialized questions with a five-point Likert scale. These questions are classified into 22 sub-structures and 6 main structures. With high validity and reliability. Cronbach's alpha of all variables was greater than 0.7. The final questionnaire with a sample of 311 people was distributed among the educational leaders of rural and nomadic schools.

This research is a qualitative study of phenomenology. Participants in this study were eight elementary school teachers from Yazd and Kerman provinces. Data were collected using in-depth semi-structured individual interviews with teachers in their workplace. Data were analyzed using the seven-stage method of Colaizzi. After coding the interviews, 422 initial codes were obtained that were classified into 15 subcategories, 5 categories, and three concepts, with titles: 1- Explaining and identifying effective time-saving components 2- Explaining and identifying effective components Lack of time 3 - Explain and identify the effective components in time planning and management. The results of this study showed that teachers in multilevel classes can compensate for the shortage of time by different strategies depending on the student, their number, as well as the number of bases, the impact of bases on each other, ways and materials to save and manage.
