At the outset of this paper, the Islamic management’s knowledge development (IMKD) and it’s technical and contextual circumstance has been briefly discussed and it has been found that under the present circumstances exploration, drawing out, and analysis of relevant data and information, and extracting knowledge from them requires some particular qualitative research methods. Then the Cyclical Process of Analysis (CPA), as a qualitative research method, propounded by Sarantakos (1998), consists of data reduction, data organization, and interpretation. The author could, through reasoning, develope CPA as a qualitative research method that could be effective in the course of IMKD, taking into account its special capabilities, contextual condition and contingencies of IMKD, and making use of his experiences in utilizing the mentioned method in some researches. Consequently, a new applied version of CPA of four steps: data gathering, revival data reduction, data analysis and organization, interpretation and conclusion has been explained. Finally, a brief acconunt of a fulfilled research has been reported.

The present study has been compiled with the aim of Explain the dimensions and indicators of participatory learning culture in the high school curriculum. In this research, in the first part of the research, the meta-combined qualitative research method was used. A meta-combination similar to the meta-analysis method is used to integrate several studies to create comprehensive and interpretive findings. In the second part of the research, the modified Delphi method is used. In this research, first, to collect qualitative data from related research, the meta-combined qualitative research method was used, and by reviewing related research in this field, it extracted characteristics and then to reach a consensus of experts on dimensions, characteristics. Indicators of Cooperative learning culture in secondary school A significant number of selected experts were identified and using the modified Delphi quantitative research method, 15 questionnaires were distributed among them and after sending and receiving in three consecutive rounds, the relevant information was collected and analyzed. By studying various sources and researches in this field, four types of culture of central interaction, process-oriented, self-directed and transformative and 31 indicators of Cooperative learning culture were identified as indicators of Cooperative learning culture.

The audit committee plays an important role in implementing the corporate governance system, and evaluating its performance is essential to determine the improvement of activities and increase its efficiency and effectiveness. Due to the lack of a clear framework for evaluating the performance of the audit committee in Iran, the present study has tried to provide a systematic framework for evaluating the performance of the audit committee. The present study is considered as a development research in terms of purpose and for conducting research, the qualitative research method has been used and among the qualitative research methods, the meta-combined method has been used. In order to achieve the objectives of the research, research conducted over a period of 30 years (1993 to 2022) and 513 articles were reviewed and finally 76 articles that received the necessary points has been analyzed using the Sandelsky and Barroso meta-combination method. The research findings provide 95 indicators, 15 components and 3 dimensions to evaluate the performance of the audit committee. Finally, using Shannon entropy method, the level of support of previous research findings from the present research findings is determined and also suggestions for future research are presented.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of coordination and compliance of the intended curriculum, implemented with the acquired knowledge of family and population in order to approximate between these three programs. This research is applied in terms of practical purpose in the education system. The research method in the intended curriculum section was content analysis technique in which the objectives of the textbook were matched with the objectives of the upstream document. In the implemented curriculum section, a qualitative research method of phenomenological type was used and family and population knowledge classrooms were analyzed. In the obtained curriculum section, a qualitative research method of phenomenological type was used. The research field included undergraduate students of the Faculty of Educational Sciences and Psychology, University of Tehran, who were included in the research by purposive sampling. The results showed that there is a good correspondence between the goals of the upstream document and the goals of the family knowledge book and the population of the second edition. It seems that the content of this lesson has been expressed by the teachers in a practical way in the classroom, which shows the curriculum acquired in the students.

The astonishing achievements of scientific research method have radically changed human''s life-world in a relatively short period of time. Troubles of traditional way of life and their solutions were substituted by emerging issues which were not even mentioned in the previous discourse of our ancestors about the relationship between human and the world. Scientific research method entered the scene for responding material and spiritual troubles of human being. As the best method for understanding new problems and recognizing their solutions، scientific method discredited traditional methods of knowledge and substituted them. But after a while، the achievements of scientific research method made troubles for it. An increasing number of scientists concluded that scientific research method has two basic shortages: 1) it does not make distinctions between natural beings and human beings in terms of methodology; and 2) Narratives or social general rules of scientific method do not respond to increasing social groups and individualization of personal life in the contemporary complicated world. Thus it is essential to find another path that deals more deeply with human life''s individual and particular problems. These arguments، finally، culminated in applying qualitative research method in human and social phenomena. The ignoring of widespread application of qualitative research method in studying natural phenomena in order to reset it as a different research method created a controversial discourse over the relationship between quantitative and qualitative methods. The root of this discourse goes back to the issue of unity or multiplicity of scientific research method، on the one hand، and empirical or interpretive approaches towards social reality، on the other. The aim of this article is to show that both of these elements، namely radical duality of quantitative and qualitative research methods and duality of empirical and interpretive approaches، are wrong premises. Both of these approaches and methods have empirical base and rational superstructure so they are not radically different but they are used according to the content of research

Method of research is one of the important source of acquiring knowledge which is classified into different methods including qualitative and quantative ones. Qualitative methods have many variations, but this article only addresses the phenomenological method of research and its application in clinical sciences. Phenomenological method is a descriptivedeductive method originating from the philosophy of phenomenology. Toexplain this issue, this article, first, reviews the history of phenomenological philosophy and its adaptation as a qualitative research method in medical sciences.

. In recent decades, special emphasis has been placed on qualitative methodology to overcome these problems. One of the most important qualitative research strategies is the theory of grandeur. The theory of theory plays an important role in identifying the hidden and obscure dimensions of the subject. Despite this, generally, quantitative research methods were used in academic research and the use of qualitative research from Academic research has encountered barriers and challenges. In this regard, this research was conducted as a barrier to using the qualitative research method in academic research. The statistical population of this study was the statistical community of this study, which was composed of professors and Ph.D. students of agricultural extension and agricultural education and agricultural development. They were selected by snowball sampling (chain reference). The interview was used to collect data. In this study, 16 faculty members and PhD students were interviewed, interviewed by asking questions about the barriers to using the qualitative research method in academic research (open interview) and the remaining questions were based on the responses of the interviewee. Data analysis was based on Strauss and Queen's paradigm model. The results of the study finally presented as a model with a lack of tendency to qualitative research in academic studies. In this model, the causative conditions, intervener and dominant context were identified and the main category in this model was tendency to qualitative research and the interaction of interactions was related to the component of educational system improvement.
