Identifying And Explaining The Organizational Factors Affecting The Transfer of Students' Learning In The Internship Program Farhangian University

Every year, many candidates participate in the experimental group of the national exam (as the most important entrance exam to higher education) to enter the fields of medicine, pharmacy and dentistry, and success in the exam is of great importance and priority for them. The nature of the exam, the preparation process of the candidates and its importance and priority have popularized the phenomenon called teaching for the exam in the secondary education system. Based on this, the aim of the current research is to analyze the phenomenon of teaching for the exam in the biology course.

The current research method is a qualitative method of interpretive phenomenology. The participants were selected from among the teachers of the six districts and school teachers of the biology course in Isfahan city with the purposeful snowball sampling method and a total of 15 people. The measurement tool is a semi-structured interview that is designed and built using theoretical knowledge related to the topic. In order to analyze the teachers' interview, it was converted into text and using Dickelman, Allen and Tanner method, first the basic concepts were extracted, then within the sub-themes and finally within the main themes.

The results of this study showed that teaching for the test is a common phenomenon in the secondary education system, in such a way that all educational activities of the school are focused on the test and the efforts of teachers and students are placed on the success of the test. This phenomenon, while disrupting the teaching and learning process, leads to the prevalence of superficial teaching of concepts and subjects and focusing on testing techniques.

Due to its high sensitivity and impact on the candidates' future, the national exam affects the teaching-learning methods of teachers and the learning style of students, and this influence has led to the spread of the phenomenon of teaching for tests in secondary courses, especially biology courses.
