Abstract

Since the beginning of the Islamic Movement in Iran, the issue of university and establishment of a desirable university system has been one of the most essential concerns. With the direct reference to the ideas and thoughts of the leaders of the Islamic Revolution, the model of the University at the level of the Islamic Revolution can be defined, and its characteristics and functions can be identified. For this purpose, the speeches, messages and deeds of Imam Khomeini (RA) from 1340 to 1368 and those Ayatollah Khamenei from 1368 to 1396, were selected, studied and analyzed through a qualitative method of thematic analysis. A comprehensive model including 4335 original themes were identified and grouped into 328 organizer themes (indicators). Having categorized them at different levels, these themes were eventually organized in 17 subject areas, then in 5 aspects including "outcomes", "results", "outputs," "processes," and "capitals and infrastructures", which constructed the final pattern. One of the unique features of the pattern in addition to the comprehensiveness of the ideas of the Supreme Leaders of the Islamic Revolution, is that due to its consistency with planning, management, and strategic planning models, it is possible to monitor its implementation and progress.
