The Position of Experimental Planning in the Targeted Development of Scientific-Applied Trainings

Land use planning is increasingly important in the field of skill higher education programs that are related to human development and knowledge-based economy. The current research was carried out with the aim of providing a framework for the optimal application of land use planning in the development of scientific-applied education.

Its method is mixed (quantitative-qualitative) of exploratory type. In the qualitative section, all databases and experts were included as a statistical population because the sample size was not known in advance. In the quantitative part, all the scientific-practical experts of the country were considered as the statistical population, and due to the size of the population and geographical distribution, cluster sampling was used and five provinces of East Azarbaijan, Isfahan, Bushehr, Tehran and Razavi Khorasan were selected as clusters. Due to the non-uniformity of the population and the number of higher scientific-applied education centers in the provinces, using quota sampling and a 5/ error. From Morgan's table and Cochran's formula, 326 people were selected as a sample and tested. In the field section, the researcher-made questionnaire was considered as a data collection tool. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed through content and form validity using the opinions of 30 experts. The reliability of the questionnaire was also obtained by the internal consistency method (Cronbach's alpha). Due to the acute conditions caused by the corona pandemic, the questionnaire was designed electronically and sent to the provinces through Pursline system. In the qualitative section, MAXQDA software was used to ensure the adequacy of similar data, qualitative data analysis, coding and classification. The method of qualitative data analysis is thematic analysis. In the field section, descriptive and inferential statistics were used using SPSS software and SMART PLS graphic interface.

In the research results, 5 dimensions, 21 factors and 35 components were obtained. In examining the current situation, all of these dimensions were lower than the average variance and did not have a suitable situation. But it was at the expected level due to the obtained high averages in a favorable situation. In the field of mechanism and framework, the validity of the final framework including five factors was confirmed by experts.

The findings of the research showed that the obtained dimensions need to provide an executive mechanism or framework.
