Abstract
Education plays a critical role in transferring knowledge, and research plays a key role in producing and expanding knowledge. As one of the most important influences on these functions, the curriculum plays a significant role. The purpose of this study is to explain the goals and strategies of connected curriculum in higher education as a new concept. A qualitative and data-driven approach was used in this paper. This study included a statistical population of experts and key specialists from Shahid Beheshti, Allameh Tabatabaei, Amir Kabir and Al Zahra universities, of whom 13 were chosen to be a sample using a purposeful sampling method according to the theoretical saturation principle And it was implemented in 1401. In order to collect data, a semi-structured interview was conducted. In the process of open, selective and theoretical coding, Glazer's approach and continuous comparison were used to analyze the collected data, and the results indicated the formation of 14 main categories, 40 subcategories and 110 concepts, centered on the central category of "Education and research links." Based on the findings, the communicative curriculum is a means to achieve the objectives by linking education and research and taking into account strategies extracted. Based on the results of the research, it was found that the combination of education and research in the connected curriculum would eventually lead to the development of the university and the nation in several dimensions.
