Background and Objective: This research aims to evaluate the revised curriculum of Farhangian University in light of the needs and expectations of the educational community. The focus is on assessing the alignment of the curriculum with the real-world requirements of the educational system in Iran.
Research Methodology: The study followed a quantitative approach, utilizing a descriptive survey method. The target population was categorized into five groups: teachers, education administrative staff, school executive staff, faculty members, and student teachers, totaling 5,000 individuals. Based on Morgan’s table, a sample size of 350 was selected. The data was collected through a researcher-designed questionnaire, which was validated for content and face validity. The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.92.
Findings: Data analysis revealed that the curriculum’s goals and content met only a small portion of the expectations of the target community. However, in the area of new teaching strategies and methods, the curriculum effectively addressed the needs of the educational community. Furthermore, problem-based learning activities were recognized as a strong aspect. The evaluation structure of the curriculum was found to have adequate coherence, although the assessment of students’ learning in real-world educational settings was less emphasized.
Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of adapting Farhangian University's curriculum to the genuine needs of the country's education system. While some elements, such as teaching strategies and learning activities, were well-aligned with educational expectations, other components, particularly goals, content, and evaluation, require further enhancement to better serve the educational community.
