Abstract
A strong link between education and research can result in better student learning and, consequently, higher education growth and development. In this paper, we aim to develop a communication-building curriculum for Iran's higher education. A qualitative and data-driven research design is used for this study. An extensive sample of experts and specialists in curriculum planning was selected based on the principles of theoretical saturation for Shahid Beheshti, Allameh Tabatabai, Amir Kabir, and Al Zahra Universities, using the purposeful sampling method to choose 13 of them as a sample. To collect data, a semi-structured interview was conducted. In order to analyze the collected data, Glazer's approach and continuous comparison were employed, followed by open, selective, and theoretical coding, and based on the results of the research, the final framework of the research emerged, comprising 13 main categories, 29 subcategories, and 96 concepts, based around the central category "Education and research link." Findings indicate that the communicative curriculum framework includes elements, effective factors, and consequences, each including several categories. We have determined as a result of our research that a relationship between education and research is dependent on the growth and development of educational and research actors in the communication curriculum. In order for the country to develop in various dimensions and expand its horizons, knowledge will lead, as it develops and dynamises universities, as well as the applicability of its curriculum.
