Ahmad Ali Foroughi Journal Article 2023 02 09 Introduction: This study addresses the design and validation of the experiential curriculum<br />model for medical education using a Feministic approach. Method: The present study was<br />conducted on two non separable planes. On the first plan, the model was designed based on<br />the Feministic approach using the theoretical study method and emphasizing the perspectives ascribed to Nell Noddings, Madeline Grumet and Janette Miller. Results: The levels of<br />this model include Expected Curriculum, Imaginal Curriculum, Concealed curriculum, Interactive curriculum (Manifest Curriculum, Latent Curriculum, Look the parenting), Transferential<br />Curriculum and Self Determination. On the second plane, to validate the combined model, a<br />phenomenologically qualitative study was conducted. In this study, using goal-oriented sampling, undergraduate and graduate (Master’s degree) students majoring in Dentistry, Nursing<br />at Islamic Azad University Khorasgan Branch, Esfahan as well as those at at Esfahan University<br />of Medical Sciences were selected. Deep interview was used to collect data. The findings were<br />analyzed using Van Manen’s six-stage model. To determine the reliability of the findings, reliability of reality reconstruction were used. Conclusion: The results obtained suggested that:<br />Education is in need of some conceptual reconstruction. On this way, women’s perceptions<br />and experience of education and of the interior epistemological and curricular system which<br />shape the discourse and performance of education must be addressed. Serving as a research<br />model offering the various planes of the experiential curriculum and focusing more sharply on<br />the dimensions of curriculum than the formal plane, the present study is recommended to the<br />decision-makers of higher education curricular system.<br /><br /> https://jehp.mui.ac.ir/article_27527_20ba096f2d3da322ed843f6a4bee9a91.pdf
