چکیده
هدف پژوهش حاضر واکاوی وضع کنونی برنامه ‏های درسی رشتۀ مهندسی کامپیوتر، با رویکرد کیفی و روش داده ‏بنیاد، است. حوزۀ پژوهش شامل همۀ اعضای هیئت ‏علمی و دانشجویان رشتۀ مهندسی کامپیوتر بود که ازطریقِ نمونه‏گیری هدفمند از نوع ملاک‏محور انتخاب شدند. داده‏ها ازطریقِ مصاحبۀ نیمه ‏ساختاریافته با 11 دانشجو و 16 عضو هیئت‏ علمی جمع‏ آوری شد. به‏ منظور تحلیل داده‏ها، از روش کدگذاری باز، محوری و گزینشی استفاده کردیم. برای تأمین روایی و پایایی، از معیارهای گوبا و لینکن استفاده کردیم. یافته‏ های پژوهش نشان‏دهندۀ 22 مفهوم محوری و 8 مقولۀ منتخب است که در قالب الگویی، شامل برنامۀ درسی ناسازگار با تحولات به‏ عنوان شرایط محوری، شرایط علّی (تمرکزگرایی در طراحی، تدوین نامناسب و اجرای معیوب برنامه‏ های درسی)، عوامل زمینه‏ ای (زمینۀ ابعاد رفتاری، زمینه‏ های سیاسی و زمینه‏ های محیطی)، راهبردهای پیشنهادی (تأسیس دانشکدگان موضوعی، ترویج مطالعات تطبیقی، شبکه‏ سازی، واگذاری اختیار به دفترهای برنامه ‏ریزی آموزشی دانشگاه و طراحی باز برنامۀ درسی رشتۀ مهندسی کامپیوتر)، عوامل مداخله‏ ای (نیازسنجی، مؤلفه ‏های ساختاری، استانداردهای آموزشی‏ ‏پژوهشی و پایگاه علمی رشتۀ مهندسی کامپیوتر) و پیامد (کاهش اثربخشی و کارایی برنامه ‏درسی) سازمان یافت. با توجه به یافته ‏ها، نتیجه می ‏گیریم که بهبود برنامه ‏های درسی رشتۀ مهندسی کامپیوتر نیازمند طراحی باز و مشارکتیِ برنامه های درسی و ایجاد دانشکدگان مهندسی کامپیوتر در دانشگاه ‏هاست.

چکیده English

This study aims to investigate the current state of computer engineering curricula. This study was conducted using a qualitative approach and a data-driven method. The research area included all faculty members and computer engineering students selected through a purposive sampling of the criterion-based type. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with eleven students and sixteen faculty members. Open, axial, and selective coding methods were used to analyze the data. Lincoln and Cuba criteria were used to ensure validity and reliability. The research findings indicate twenty-two central concepts and eight selected categories that are organized in a paradigmatic model including curriculum incompatible with developments as central conditions, causal conditions (centralism in design, inappropriate formulation, and defective implementation of curricula), contextual factors (behavioral dimensions, political contexts, and environmental contexts), suggested strategies (establishing subject-specific faculties, promoting comparative studies, networking, delegating authority to university educational planning offices and open design of the computer engineering curriculum), intervention factors (needs assessment, structural components, educational-research standards and scientific base of the computer engineering discipline) and consequence (reduction in curriculum effectiveness and efficiency). According to the findings, it can be concluded that to improve computer engineering curricula, attention should be paid to open and participatory curriculum design and the establishment of computer engineering faculties in universities.
