Abstract

Introduction: The present study aimed to identify the components of the cubic curriculum by combining meta-combined and Delphi methods
research methodology: This research was developmental in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of data type. Data collection and data were analyzed by transcribing the text of the interviews obtained through the meta-combination and Delphi method. The statistical population of the present study included experts in the field of culture and curriculum that were used to design and compile a cubic curriculum. The sampling method in this population was snowball sampling. From the statistical population, 15 experts were selected by snowball sampling. The data collection method was done through library studies (English and Persian books and articles, dissertations, websites as well as a researcher-made questionnaire) and a questionnaire. The validity and reliability of the instrument were evaluated and confirmed. The meta-combined method was used to analyze the data in the present study. The Delphi method was also used to reach consensus in group decisions.
Findings: The results of the present study showed that the cubic curriculum includes 6 components, which are: the degree of attention and emphasis of the cubic model curriculum to educational needs and goals, how to access learning resources, content, course materials, topics and themes, determination and organization Learning opportunities, learning-teaching methods and teaching methods (learning forms), factors related to human competencies (extracurricular) and finally evaluation in the study of achieving goals.
Conclusion: In the meantime, curricula as the heart of the education system and a tool to achieve the goals of education received more attention.
