Abstract

Being in the Anthropocene era, despite the complexity and rapid changes, the world considers it necessary to speed up teaching-learn ing, practical measures, and its application, so that the traditional and pre-organized methods can no longer meet the needs of mankind in terms of education. This caused the new post-qualitative approach, which is a non-linear, non-radical, and free approach, with post-structuralist and post-manic structures to come to the fore. Due to the importance of curriculum plan ing as a fundamental pillar of change, transformation, and innova tion in education, the present research was conducted with the aim of examining the elements of designing and developing curriculum with a post-qualitative approach using a docume ntary method and through internat ional, and Persian databases and scientific search engines. Finally, 8 articles were examined in detail. In order to increase the dependability, confirmability, and credibility of the data, the methods of "reviewing two evaluators and using the opinions of research colleagues and confirming them", "explaining the exact details of the process of data collection and analysis", "three-way perspective based on the diversification of related articles, analysis of negative and conflicting cases interpreted in the data" were used. The results showed that this approach has the necessary capacities to realize and meet the needs of the current human world. The current research is the first domestic effort in entering the field of educational sciences, curriculum designing, and development. There fore, considering the growth and expansion of this approach in the world and taking advantage of its opportunities, entering this field is suggested to the domestic researchers and the use of this approach is suggested to the trainers and teachers in the field of education.
