Background and purpose: Public Schools in Iran are far from the principles of the learning organization due to their structural and managerial characteristics which are affected by the centralized management structure. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to design a qualitative model for the development of learning public schools.Method: The research approach is qualitative and a semi-structured interview was conducted through targeted sampling with 22 experts from the Ministry of Education and schools in Tehran until reaching theoretical saturation. In order to explore the development model of learning schools, data analysis was done using the foundational data theory and through MAXQDA software.Findings: After conducting qualitative interviews and coding, general categories and subcategories and identification concepts and causal factors, background factors, intervention factors, strategies and consequences of development of learning schools were determined and finally the development model of learning schools with 6 main dimensions and 17 subcategories. And 221 indicators were designed.Results: The managers of the Ministry of Education and all the stakeholders of the schools, taking into account the causal factors and background and intervening conditions and adopting strategies in the field of human resource empowerment, development of knowledge and learning management, team and collaborative learning, learning communication network and self-assessing school, responsible and Respondents can benefit from the benefits of developing learning schools.

The current research was conducted with the aim of presenting a model for designing learning centers for faculty members of Allameh Tabatabai University in order to empower them. A mixed method and an exploratory design were used to conduct this research. The statistical population in the qualitative section was all related research documents from 2000 to today and university professors, specialists and informants familiar with the learning center and faculty members. This research also used a semi-structured interview. Sampling in the qualitative part was done purposefully and data analysis in this part was done in the form of foundation data with thematic analysis approach in three stages of open, central and selective coding. The statistical population of the research in the quantitative part of the research included the faculty members of the university, 250 of whom were randomly selected. Spss and Amose software were used for data analysis in this part. In the qualitative section, 5 main codes representing the dimensions of empowerment and 9 central codes representing the components of the dimensions were identified. Also, the number of 50 open codes was determined, which was reduced to 28 after the merger. Based on the dimensions, the skills needed by the faculty members of Allameh Tabatabai University in the direction of empowerment are: social factors, economic factors and educational factors. The results of the factor analysis which was done by Emus software also showed that the measurement scale in all factor analysis indicators is at a desirable and acceptable level.
