Abstract

This Article tries to present Dymanic School Model for Primary Schools. The research
approach is qualitative and the method used is synthesis research, along with qualititative
content analysis. In synthesis research, recent researches were selected, analyzed and
categorized with a systematic method; and in qualitative content analysis, with the help of
semi-structured interviews with experts in the field of educational management and
planning, components are identified and the model of Dynamic School was formulated.
Study group consists researches conducted outside of Iran (2000 to 2020) and inside the
country (2000 to 2020). 62 cases were selected and analyzed as a sample, according to
their subject relation, key words and content relations with the dimensions and components
of Dynamic Primary Schools. Conducted analysis was initially codified and categorized,
then the main structure was identified as 25 components and 52 indicators related to 5
main aspects of improvement and evolution, student-based, pariticipation-based, research-
based and thinking. Education policy makers and planners of primary schools can assess
school performance using developed conceptual model and make decisions to reach
dynamics.
