Abstract

The present study is aimed towards identification the indices of desirable teaching and learning activities in regard with the Humanity Courses for universities and the extent to which these indices are attention. In the present study, exploratory mixed-methods research was used. For the qualitative section, we underwent quasi-structured interviews with 20 distinguished and qualified experts and faculty members of universities having their expertise in teaching and learning activities design. Also, 360 of the students of universities comprised the quantitative statistical population. In the quantitative section, a descriptive-survey method was employed. This number of participants was selected using multistage cluster sampling method. To examine the reliability of interview questions and questionnaires, we recruited formal and content reliability. And, we used Cronbach's alpha coefficients to evaluate the validity of our questionnaires. We also employed descriptive and inferential statistics to wage on analyzing the data. The results indicated that the interviewees outlined 10 indices as the salient indices of teaching and learning activities. The quantitative data also indicated that the range and degree of implementing and corresponding to the indices of teaching and learning activities seem to be less than desirable. Therefore, it necessarily requires far more significant attention.
