چکیده مقاله :

The present study aims to provide research-oriented curriculum model for a preschool period. The method is considered as applied, qualitative, and self-emerging in terms of objective, data, as well as nature and type, respectively. Totally, 15 experts were selected based on the snowball theoretical sampling method and theoretical data saturation. The instrument included a semi-structured interview in which the dimensions, components, and indices of the research-oriented curriculum of the preschool period were set. To this aim, all of the national and global models, results, studies, and theories were assessed for the above-mentioned interview form. Then, the indices were counted with open coding, categorized in the form of dimensions, components, and indices through axial coding, and submitted for 15 experts. In the next step, the dimensions and components were identified using selective coding through interview, Delphi technique, and brainstorming, resulting in finalizing three dimensions, 26 components, and 142 indices for the research-oriented curriculum model of the preschool period. In the next procedure, the dimensions, components, and indices of the model were drawn after the final confirmation and prioritization of the experts. Finally, the aforementioned model was validated again by the experts.
