Purpose: The present study aimed to identify the components of the educational and cultural transformation model in Farhangian University.
Methodology: Considering the objective of this study, a qualitative and exploratory research approach was employed. This research, based on the grounded theory approach using Glaser’s methodology, utilized exploratory and semi-structured interviews as the data collection tool. The participants included nine professors, experts, and elite educators from Farhangian University, who were selected through purposive sampling until theoretical saturation was reached.
Findings: The results of this study revealed that the central category consists of five components: research facilitation, responsibilities of students and professors, merit-based selection of faculty members, practical implementation of comprehensive planning, and an integrated system of cooperation and interaction. Additionally, four outcomes were identified: the enhancement of Farhangian University’s status, educational and cultural diplomacy, continuous transformation, and effective management in the research domain. The contextual conditions include four components: interaction between industry and Farhangian University, issue-based systematization, utilization of credible research platforms, and meritocracy in research. The intervening conditions comprise two components: flexible and motivating structural moderating factors and educational and cultural moderating factors. Furthermore, four strategies were identified: interaction with industry and Farhangian University, educational and cultural structuring, educational strategies, and motivational strategies. Finally, the causal conditions consist of two components: fundamental principles and transformational orientation.
Conclusion: The findings indicated that educational and cultural transformation in this university requires a comprehensive and multidimensional model, encompassing components such as research facilitation, responsibilities of students and professors, merit-based selection of faculty members, practical implementation of comprehensive planning, and the establishment of an integrated system of cooperation and interaction.
