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: Findings showed that students’ lived experiences of the teaching process in Iranian universities in technical and engineering fields had 197 initial concepts and 38 final concepts in 3 main components: professor (23 concepts), student (7 concepts) and content (8 concepts). Also, based on the concepts and components derived from the students’ lived experiences of the teaching process, the teaching model in technical and professional fields 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.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to design and validate a model for improving in-service training of medical university staff. Methodology: This research is an applied type of qualitative-quantitative research. The study population consisted of 15 elites who were selected through purposive sampling and in the quantitative section of 380 persons by stratified random sampling with proportional allocation among staff of Khuzestan University of Medical Sciences. The data were collected through structured interviews and a researcher-made questionnaire that was implemented in qualitative and quantitative sections, respectively. The findings showed that organizational development, role of instructor, assigned tasks, professional skill, training facilities, content, attitude to training, trust building, knowledge of elites and experts were among the influential components in in-service training. Findings: Findings related to Structural Equation Technique using pls software also showed that all the above-mentioned components were significantly higher than the value of 1.96 at the significant level of 0.95. In other words, these components are highly influential in evaluating in-service education from the perspective of course learners. Conclusion: The findings also showed that the improvement of in-service training evaluation system plays an important role in the effectiveness of the workforce as well as the proper training of human resources in the direction of achieving the goals of the system of managers in the Medical Sciences University.
