The research method in this study is qualitative. For this purpose, 24 faculty managers, professors and student-teachers were selected using the targeted sampling method. To identify the categories of student teachers' perception of the goals and duties of the union council, the components of student-teacher perception of the goals and duties of the union council were identified and extracted from the method of thematic analysis. The research tool was a semi-structured interview that continued until saturation.

Finally, 5 components were coded, analyzed and drawn as a network of themes using Stirling's Atriad method. The validity of the research was obtained by using the auditing technique by the referee. To calculate reliability, coding was done by reading the interviews conducted line by line manually in two stages and after the completion of coding, the results of these two codings were compared with each other. The reliability rate of recoding was 85.7. After coding and data analysis, 50 basic themes were extracted. From these basic themes, 11 organizing themes and finally four inclusive themes including: "perceptual skills", "management and organizational structure of the university", "participation in efforts" and "ethical attitudes" which form the model of student teachers' perception of the goals and duties of the Union Council of Farhangian University were identified.
