Keywords:
Iran’s Education Sector, Policy-making, Economic EducationAbstract
Purpose: The objective of this study is to design a policy-making process model in the economic education system within Iran’s education sector.
Methodology: The required data for this study were collected through interviews with 20 experts. These experts were selected from senior managers, specialized professionals, and university faculty members involved in economic education, using the criterion of theoretical saturation. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the collected data from the interviews were analyzed based on Strauss and Corbin’s method, following three stages of open, axial, and selective coding. By integrating the perceptual and systemic approaches, a model was developed within the framework of the systematic design of grounded theory.
Findings: The qualitative data analysis using the grounded theory method, based on the Strauss-Corbin approach, indicated that individual and organizational factors serve as causal conditions. Individual characteristics were categorized under the main theme, while contextual conditions were divided into two levels: individual and organizational. The development strategies for experts, such as medium-term and long-term planning for human resource development in the education sector, the transformation document, and organizational development strategies—leading to the achievement of economic education goals in education—were identified as key strategies. Constraints and environmental conditions were considered as intervening conditions. Individual outcomes, including expert satisfaction and increased motivation, as well as organizational outcomes, such as improved efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability, were identified as consequential factors.
Conclusion: The achievement of a policy-making process model in the economic education system of Iran’s education sector is based on the classification of qualitative data into eleven main categories.
