Abstract

The purpose was to present a teaching-learning culture model design in schools in Noor. In this study, a qualitative-ethnographic research method based on grounded theory and Strauss and Corbin's analytical model was used. Data were collected using semi-structured and in-depth interviews with experts in the field of educational sciences, educational management, and capable teachers and managers with higher education degrees from various schools in Noor County in the academic year 1401-1402. The number of participants reached theoretical saturation, with 30 people. In order to experiment and analyze the findings, a three-stage coding technique of open, axial, and selective coding was used. From 30 interviews, excluding overlap, 766 initial codes were obtained. Including their merging and overlapping for more accurate coding and facilitating the research process, 69 categories remained. After a continuous comparative analysis process, the categories were summarized into 14 dimensions. Obstacles to efficient learning (economic, educational, and cultural obstacles). Indicators of the learning-teaching dimensions also included the system's handling of informal interactions, lack of appropriate budget allocation for schools, lack of proportion between the number of students and the classroom space, lack of teacher motivation, lack of infrastructure, lack of attention to psychology, poor efficiency of administrators and teachers, lack of holding local and national celebrations, emphasis on budgeting and evaluation, lack of training classes and consultants in schools, teachers' lack of familiarity with technology, high density, lack of a culture of competition, lack of cooperation from families, and a decrease in the status and social position of teachers.
