Abstract

The overall purpose of the present study was to investigate the impact of research-based schools on factors facilitating student learning in Mazandaran province in order to present a model.

The statistical population included 39220 teachers and staff working at the schools of the Education Office of Mazandaran province. Based on Cochran formula, 380 people were selected using cluster-stratified random sampling. To collect the data, a researcher-made questionnaire on research-oriented schools was used which included 81 questions and 13 dimensions, and a 30-item, 5-dimension learning facilitation questionnaire. The face and content validity of the instruments were confirmed by experts, and their reliability was calculated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient which was 0.89 for the questionnaire of research-based schools and 0.87 for learning facilitation questionnaire. Structural equation test was used for data analysis. The results showed that the effect of research-based schools on factors facilitating student learning in Mazandaran province Education Office is positive and significant, and the presented model has good fit.
