Designing a Teaching Pattern from Students\' Lived Experiences of the Teaching Process in Universities of Iran (Technical and Engineering Disciplines)

Purpose: The present research aimed to designing a teaching pattern from students’ lived experiences of the teaching process in universities of Iran in technical and engineering disciplines. Methodology: This study in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation was qualitative from type of phenomenological. The study population consisted of postgraduate and PhD students in technical and engineering disciplines of Australian universities (Melbourne, Monash and Swinburne) in 2018 year who had the experience of studying at the undergraduate and graduate levels in Iran country. The research sample according to the theoretical saturation principle was determined 10 people who were selected by purposive sampling method. Data were collected through semi-structured depth interview method which its validity was confirmed by the method of reconstruction of reality and its reliability was confirmed by conducting interviews in a quiet and unbiased atmosphere and to analyze data used from thematic coding method. Findings: The findings showed that the studentschr(chr('39')39chr('39')) lived experiences of the teaching process in universities of Iran in technical and engineering disciplines had 197 primary concepts and 38 final concepts in three main components of professor (23 concepts), student (7 concepts) and content (8 concepts). Also, based on the concepts and components obtained from studentschr(chr('39')39chr('39')) lived experiences of the teaching process, the teaching pattern in technical and professional disciplines was designed and approved based on the opinion of experts. Conclusion: According to the results, planners and officials to design curriculum and professors to improve their teaching can use the teaching model designed in this research to improve the quality of education in universities.
