Abstract
En 中文
The K-12 educational system in Iran faces challenges in preparing students for success in higher education and beyond, including their future professional careers. This study examines whether students are solely responsible for their struggles at the higher education level, or if the current K-12 policies contribute to an environment that limits students' potential. A total of 317 undergraduates (aged 19-23) were purposefully selected to participate in this qualitative research, with data collected through interviews. The analysis was conducted using Strauss and Corbin's (1998) Constant Comparative methodology to explore the research question. The findings suggest that while the educational system in schools is largely test-and outcome-focused, the teaching environment does not adequately support students in developing the skills and mindset needed for success after school. Therefore, improvements in the educational system are necessary to better prepare students for their future endeavors.
