Abstract

The aim of the present study was to present a curriculum model based on executive functions of the brain. The approach of the present study was qualitative and its method was synthesis research. The research population was all articles (211 articles) that have been presented from 1385 to 1403 AH and 2010 to 2024 AD on curriculum and education and executive functions of the brain. The research sample was 30 articles, which were selected purposefully based on thematic monitoring, theoretical saturation of data, and research data were collected from qualitative analysis of the articles studied. By analyzing the data, the dimensions of the curriculum based on the executive functions of the brain were classified into 4 dimensions, 14 factors, and 105 categories, including individual factors (behavioral dimension, psychological dimension, cognitive dimension); scientific factors (knowledge factors and content factors); school factors (school management indicators, physical indicators, school context) and educational factors (teaching and learning approach, interactions, teacher characteristics, classroom management style, and program characteristics). The results showed that to create a curriculum based on the executive functions of the brain, paying attention to only one factor is not effective and there is a need to pay attention to different dimensions and aspects
