ABSTRACT
This study tries to design and validate the experiential curriculum model putting emphasis on phenomenological scientists' viewpoints. This study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, the model was designed based on a theoretical study emphasizing the perspectives of Van Manen and Ted Aoki. In the second phase, a phenomenological study was conducted. Students of dentistry and master of nursing in Khorasgan Azad University and Isfahan University of Medical Sciences were deep interviewed and the results were analyzed using Van Manen model. The levels of the designed model included Expected Curriculum, Imaginal Curriculum, Concealed Curriculum, Interactive Curriculum [pedagogical action, in loco parentis, covered curriculum], Pedagogical Influences and Self-reflection. One of the basic needs of educational institutions is to increasingly adapt to the parenting criteria, norms and relations which parents themselves seem to have forgotten. This issue poses the need for a profound relation between the essence of teaching and parenting, one that seldom receives attention. The [influence] has to be on the heart and the center of interactions and specific situations as well as on the communications between the instructor and student that are aimed at students' self-reflection
