Purpose: The aim of this study is to identify the components of an educational model suited to the e-learning environment based on the domains of the Fundamental Reform Document of Education (FRDE) for the second level of elementary education.
Methodology: This study employed a qualitative approach using thematic analysis. The participants included 10 experts from the Mashhad Department of Education with experience in elementary education policy and administration. Purposeful sampling continued until theoretical saturation was reached. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using a six-phase thematic analysis method including data familiarization, initial coding, theme identification, thematic mapping, network analysis, and report development.
Findings: The analysis revealed that the educational model appropriate for the e-learning context should comprise four main categories: environmental factors, individual factors, institutional factors, and organizational factors. Each category included key components such as creative and open environments, intrinsic motivation, educational packages, organizational support, mental health, lesson plans, and proper administrative structures—each aligned with the balanced development emphasized in the FRDE.
Conclusion: The proposed model, derived from the research findings, provides a practical framework for policymakers and educational planners to implement effective e-learning in second-level elementary education and supports the achievement of balanced development through attention to human, institutional, environmental, and organizational factors.
