Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the compatibility of the intended, implemented, and acquired curriculum in the humanities and environment course. This research used a simultaneous mixed method (using both quantitative and qualitative techniques in a single study). The population of the study consisted of all 896 students of grade 11 in 1400-1399 academic years in Ghaen. In the qualitative part of the study, grade 11 teachers were also added to the population. Using Morgan's table, 265 students were selected as a sample. Based on cluster random sampling, a number of 11th-grade students from each school were selected. In the qualitative part, purposeful sampling was used to select only those who had more than five years of teaching experience. The data collection tools were a researcher-made questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The data was analyzed by a one-sample t-test. The results revealed that there is a statistical correlation between the intended and implemented curriculum. There is also a relationship between the intended and acquired curriculum. According to the findings of the research, it can be said that despite the change in the educational approach from face-to-face to virtual and no change in the curriculum, The teachers as the implementers of the curriculum, had been able to take steps toward the adaptation of the implemented and acquired curriculum with the intended curriculum and were successful in this matter.
