Introducing a Model for Infrastructure Improvement to Develop Intelligent Schools

Somaieh Alavi

Abstract


Intelligent schools have faced many challenges, and little research has been conducted to review the challenges of developing these schools. There are models for solving the challenges and barriers to the implementation and development of such schools, but still, the challenge of infrastructure is considered the most fundamental challenge in the development of intelligent schools. In this paper, a model is proposed to solve the problem of infrastructure in the development of intelligent schools by identifying important features based on the existing features regarding the creation of intelligent schools. This model was evaluated by ten experts in the implementation of intelligent schools. The proposed model can be used to improve the problems of infrastructure in the process of creation and implementation of intelligent schools.
