Identifying Educational Technology Indicators Based on Brown's Model With Thematic Approach (Case Study: 7th Grade Work And Technology Book)

The purpose of this study was to identify educational technology indicators Educational technology indicators based on Brown model with content analysis approach. The research method was done in the qualitative part of the case study and in the form of content analysis. The sample was selected by purposive sampling using the criterion-based technique. The sample size up to the stage of emergence of order and lack of expansion was more than 18 people. Data collection tools included two sections: semi-structured interview in the field section and review of upstream documents and training documents in the library section. Data analysis was performed based on content analysis in ATLASTI software. The research model consists of 4 comprehensive themes, 11 organizing themes and 41 basic themes. The 4 main themes are: purpose, content, method and evaluation. Work and technology textbook design is based on paying attention to individual differences between learners. Technology education, work and skills training will lead to personal development, increase productivity, participation in social and economic life, reduce poverty, increase income and development.

Detailed abstract
Introduction: One of the important goals of the world is after its economic. This is due to the strengthening of international relations and the opening of borders, and this means more competition not with other companies in a city and a region, but in the whole world. The workforce also needs different skills from the previous ones. The above changes have important implications for the curriculum, the most important of which is how curriculum designers should be. Textbooks are of special importance in terms of their role and position to maintain the credibility and scientific and cultural prestige in the educational system. Textbooks are books that are authored, printed and published based on specific curricula and with a specific purpose based on the basis, fields and mental conditions and age of the learners, and on the other hand, they have been approved by competent authorities in the Ministry of Education and have been introduced in formal classes in formal classes. . Schools teach. Then they are evaluated and their learning becomes a degree. Revision and revision of textbooks will lead to growth and development of curriculum and consequently growth and improvement and academic progress. Therefore, considering the role and importance of textbooks in the progress of education and considering the system of educational changes, it is important to review and analyze textbooks. Technology training, work and skill training will lead to individual progress, increase in productivity, participation in social and economic life, poverty reduction, increase in income and development. It refines and invests in manpower training, considered for the future. In the seventh grade, work book and book are important books being taught to combine basic education with the labor market and current technologies in the society. Instead of jobs needing people with specific knowledge and expertise that is the reason for a change in nature, they need people who have a set of skills. The aim of the research was to identify educational technology indicators based on Brown's technology model with thematic analysis.
Research questions: What are the indicators of educational technology from Brown's point of view in the 7th grade workbook and technology according to teachers and experts? What is the status of technology education indicators from Brown's point of view in the 7th grade work and technology book according to teachers and experts? Is the educational technology model from Brown's point of view in the 7th grade workbook and technology appropriate for teachers and professionals?
Materials and methods: The research method was carried out in the qualitative part of the case study and in the form of thematic analysis. The selection of the sample was done by the method of purposeful sampling with criterion-oriented technique. The sample size was 18 until the emergence of order and non-excessive expansion. The data collection tool was two parts, semi-structured interview in the field parts and review and exploration of upstream documents and education documents in the library part, data analysis was done based on thematic analysis in ATLASTI software. The research model consists of 4 inclusive themes, 11 organizing themes and 41 basic themes. 4 main themes are: purpose, content, method and evaluation. Textbook design is work and technology to pay attention to individual differences among learners.
Results and discussion: Technology training, work and skill training will lead to individual progress, increase in productivity, participation in social and economic life, poverty reduction, increase in income and development. In total, the pattern of achievements in the current research consists of 4 dimensions, 11 components and 41 codes in the order of priority. The results and findings of the current research can be discussed in comparison with two aspects: First, the findings and final results of the current research are a relatively comprehensive and complete model based on the requirements and characteristics of seventh grade students, and it is more suitable than other models presented by experts considering that it was developed for non-seventh grade communities. Other models provided for communities such as math books, Persian and other textbooks, and if some of them are very brief for work and technology units and their comprehensiveness and generalizability are very low, they cannot be a suitable model for reviewing work books and or have a job 7th grade technology. Second, the obtained model shows more comprehensiveness compared to other obtained models, surveys, components and indicators. This issue is with some foreign researches and comparisons, but at the same time, the internal model of the current research has been identified and counted from most of the components and their indicators, new components and indicators, which is a point for the current research in the current research and is its main goal. The comprehensiveness of the model and its nativeness for work and technology education are based on the characteristics of seventh grade students and also Brown's educational technology.
