Content Analysis of the Fundamental Transformation Document Based on Torrance’s Organizational Creativity Components

Modern educational systems require organizational creativity to cope with rapid changes and achieve sustainable development. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct a content analysis of Iran's "Fundamental Reform Document of Education" (FRDE) based on the four components of Torrance's organizational creativity model (Fluency, Flexibility, Originality, and Elaboration) to evaluate the richness and adequacy of this strategic document in terms of innovation and transformation. The research employed a descriptive-analytical approach, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative (thematic) content analysis. The study population and sample comprised the entire text of the FRDE, analyzed through a census method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made checklist based on Torrance's model, whose content validity was confirmed by experts and reliability was established using Cohen's Kappa coefficient (0.83). Data analysis was performed using MAXQDA software and the Chi-square test. The findings revealed that the organizational creativity profile of the document is asymmetrical and polarized. "Originality" ranked first with 36.6% frequency, emphasizing indigenous identity and the avoidance of imitation, while "Elaboration" ranked second (28.4%) due to macro-structural engineering. Conversely, "Fluency" ranked third (20.4%), and "Flexibility" ranked last (14.4%), suffering from severe structural rigidity and centralization. The Chi-square test confirmed a statistically significant difference among the frequencies of the components (p<0.001). In conclusion, the FRDE serves as a structured and indigenous roadmap but lacks agile and flexible mechanisms to adapt to individual, cultural, and regional diversities. It is recommended that in future revisions, regional authorities for operational localization be enhanced, multiple and alternative models for operational strategies be designed, and a bottom-up feedback system be integrated into the document's institutional framework.
