Abstract

With the emergence and spread of the corona virus, different sections of different societies faced serious challenges. The institution of education is one of the most fundamental centers of change in the world during the coronavirus epidemic. These changes resulting from the outbreak of the coronavirus and its changes in formal and informal curricula have led researchers to present a new concept in the field of curriculum studies based on their professional and educational mission, entitled "Unpredictable Curriculum" Choose. To achieve the research goal, a concept development strategy has been used. Siegerchr('39')s prescriptive criteria and expert opinions have also been used to validate the analyzes performed. Finally, while the concept of unpredictable curriculum is explained and analyzed, the dimensions, examples and challenging aspects of this type of curriculum are also described.

Abstract

This study aims at investigating the experienced curricula of the skill-based higher education system from the perspectives of students therefore, a quantitative approach and a descriptive-survey method were utilized. The statistical population of the study comprised students of comprehensive scientific-applied universities in Iran. Stratified random sampling method and Cochran's formula were applied to select 660 students as the sample. Data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaireof skill-based curriculum in higher education, and the analysis was conducted through one-group t-test, Friedman. Content validity was verified and confirmed by curriculum and structural validity experts using software (PLS). The reliability coefficient was calculated using Cronbach's alpha (0.86). The final results suggest that the situation of the experienced curriculum was relatively favorable from the students' perspective in the three dimensions of "adapting the curriculum to 'the goals of the university, the skill-based system" and "executive aspects of the new curriculum." Accordingly, the skill-based higher education system in Iran requires great attention and fundamental changes need be made in curricula and teaching methods. Thus, this study suggests that the curriculum of the University of Applied Science and Technology (UAST) be designed to teach different skills, applied in professional and social life, and taught in simulated and practical educational environments in order to achieve the desired goals of the skill-based system.
