Abstract
The current research was conducted with the aim of investigating the educational priorities of Farhangian University in expanding the idea of schools as practical places in the framework of Michael Connelly's intellectual thoughts. The qualitative research approach was inductive content analysis with emphasis on its thematic nature. In this regard, 12 Farhangian university professors were studied in the academic year 1403-1404 using focal interviews through targeted sampling of the desired type. For the validity of the data, the researcher's self-review method and the control of the participants were used, and for the data's verifiability, the systematic comparison method was used. The findings showed that 7 components of educational Liveability, curriculum integration, Knowledge development, interactionism, practical teacher culture, educational self-exploration and entrepreneurship are the main codes that provide the framework of schools with practical functions through university educations with 18 core codes and 97 primary codes. The results show that Farhangian University should consider schools as a platform for educational activities of student teachers with an experimental degree. In other words, by simulating students' thoughts in the form of laboratory schools, schools should be considered a criterion for educational decision-making and an indicator for assessing the achievement of Farhangian University's goals.
