Abstract

The purpose of this study was to design a model for acceleration of physical education faculties towards the fourth generation universities based on Strauss and Corbin model. The research method was qualitative and derived from data (study of articles and documents and purposeful snowball interview) and the use of Delphi method. The statistical population was sports management professors with outstanding executive, scientific and research background. Data collection continued until the theoretical saturation of the data with semi-structured interviews. In order to analyze the data, a systematic method based on the Strauss and Corbin model including three-step open, axial, selective and Delphi coding was used. Coding results in the model identified 5 dimensions and 12 variables, causal conditions with two variables (scientific-social responsibility and environmental dynamics and organizational mission), intervention conditions with four variables (reproductive growth centers, information systems, relationships with industries and customers and competitors), contextual conditions with two variables (role of government and structure and context), strategies with two variables (top management and leadership, human resources) and consequences with two variables (role of fourth generation physical education faculty and quality educational and research). According to the results, the need to use a native model of the fourth generation physical education faculty, to a large extent and to cover the gaps in the commercialization of scientific research of physical education faculties, as the most important feature of the fourth generation university, seems necessary.
