Abstract

the present article aims to answer the following question: What success level was obtained by unofficial curricula of Teacher Training University from students' viewpoint, for training the required manpower to implement the national curriculum document in the realms of arts and culture? The statistical population of this article included all the students of Teacher Training University, and the methods used were "documentary research", "participant observation" (participant as observer) and "interview" (the General Interview Guide). 35 students and 5 cultural managers were selected for interview through purposeful sampling. Interviews were analyzed via Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory. In the course of our analysis, 695 issues emerged, which were arranged in 12 categories and under 3 main headings. To establish data trustworthiness, Lincoln and Guba's fourfold criteria for a qualitative research were used: "credibility", "transferability", "dependability", and "conformability". The findings show that University's informal curricula have been successful in training the qualified manpower for furthering the intended objectives in the realms of arts and culture. Teachers and students, who took active part in these programs, achieved the required skills in both direct and indirect ways.
