Abstract

Purpose: Learning strategies play an important role in performance and academic progress, and the design of various models can be effective in this field. As a result, the present research was conducted with the aim of designing a model of learning strategies.
Methodology: The current research was cross-sectional in terms of time, applied in terms of purpose, and qualitative in terms of execution method. The research community was academic documents and experts about learning strategies in 2021. The sample of the research was 15 documents and 20 university experts who were selected as a sample based on the principle of theoretical saturation and after checking the inclusion criteria with the purposeful sampling method. The tools of the current research were note-taking and semi-structured interview, the validity of which was confirmed by the triangulation method and the reliability was obtained by the agreement coefficient method between two coders of 0.85. Data were analyzed by coding method in MAXQDA software.
Findings: The findings showed that the pattern of learning strategies had 47 indicators, 7 components and 2 dimensions; So that the dimension of cognitive strategies had 4 components of repetition strategy, expansion strategy, organization strategy and evaluation strategy, and the dimension of metacognitive strategies had 3 components of planning strategy, monitoring strategy and organizing strategy.
Conclusion: According to the indicators, components and dimensions of the learning strategies model, to improve the performance and academic progress of learners, it is possible to improve the identified dimensions and components of learning strategies.
