The aim of this study is explaining the concept of a transformative curriculum in order to Critique the education curriculum of Iran in 2019. In this study, qualitative research method of critical philosophical inquiry was used. The field of research has consisted of books, all articles and scientifically available print and digital resources related to the transformative curriculum from 1979 to 2019. Purposeful sampling method was used and the review of texts and documents related to the transformative curriculum was performed gradually and continued until theoretical saturation. By reviewing three paper and 10 chapters from different books, theoretical saturation was achieved. Information was collected using the "Document Review" tool. In the first and second steps, data were analyzed using the qualitative content analysis method of inductive categorization and thematic coding, and in the third step, the research was analyzed using the reflective method of data. The findings show that the transformed curriculum has six main assumptions: homogeneous and correlated. Comparing the assumptions of the changing curriculum based on the criterion of creativity showed that while converging its dimensions, curriculum as cosmology, fiction creativity, curriculum as complexity, tolerance of ambiguity, curriculum as dialogue, integration Rational thinking and narrative thinking, curriculum as a course, "becoming", curriculum as a community, relationships and curriculum as a set of students' learning experiences emphasize the antecedent and outstanding synchronization and are effective in improving creativity. The transformative curriculum is not predetermined, but a transformational reality.
