Abstract: (534 Views)
The aim of the present study was to validate the model of connecting schools and society in Iran. The research method used was a quantitative survey. The statistical population consisted of professors and experts in the fields of sociology of education, educational managers, and school principals with a minimum of 12 years of experience in Tehran in 2022. Among them, 40 professors and experts were selected using a purposive sampling method. The data collection tools included two researcher-made questionnaires, which were assessed for reliability and validity in the present study. To analyze the data, a t-test was used in the SPSS-22 software. The results indicated that the mentioned model has desirable credibility from the perspective of professors and experts in the fields of 1) conformity with global design principles, 2) acceptability, 3) credibility and compliance with documents, 4) usability, 5) comprehensiveness, 6) credibility, 7) attention to the pragmatism approach, and 8) attention to one of the challenges of education. Additionally, the results revealed that the mentioned model provides an accurate description and explanation of the status of the relationship between schools and society, and provides appropriate strategies for connecting schools and society. Therefore, given the deficiency of models in this area, it is suggested that educational planners pay attention to this model for connecting schools with society and designing goals and content in this regard. This model can be useful as a guide for designing educational goals, content, teaching and presentation methods, and ultimately evaluating program and learners' status.
