description Background and Objectives:The purpose of the present descriptive-survey study is development and validation of teaching - learning process instrument in smart schools in educational system of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Methods: The research tool i.e. the researcher-made questionnaire was designed and implemented based on research background. First, the theoretical foundations and research background in this field were studied And three dimensions of indicators, components and tools were extracted and designed in the form of scale items. In the next step, to evaluate the validity of this scale, item analysis method was used and all items had the required validity more than 0.4. In addition, the reliability of the scale was determined and confirmed by Cronbach's alpha. then The designed questionnaire was provide after validation to statistical sample of 216 teachers of smart schools in Gorgan randomly selected based on the sample size formula in the academic year of 1395-1396. who were. Finally, The results were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Friedman test and one-sample t-test statistical techniques were used to analyze statistical data. Findings The results of this study show that the teaching and learning indicators in smart schools have the greatest impact on creating a dynamic and attractive environment for students' creativity and the least amount is related to the promotion of the assessment of high levels of thinking, knowledge and skills. In terms of teaching and learning components of intelligent schools, the highest level of influences is on teachers' familiarity with IT skills and the least amount on the promotion of critical thinking and students’ self-directedness. Also, regarding teaching and learning tools, smart schools have had the greatest impact on hybrid technology (film, image, etc.), and the least amount of influence on the production of blogs and educational sites. Conclusion: Smart schools are one of the most important achievements in the development of information technology in order to fundamentally change the educational system. Technology can be used as a powerful tool to improve the quality and efficiency of education, but it should be noted that the combination of information and communication technology with education and learning system is a multifaceted and complex process. According to the findings of the present study, in examining the infrastructure of smart schools, quantitative and qualitative aspects of indicators, components and effective tools of smartening up process should be considered. Undoubtedly, development of smart schools in the country will not be successful regardless of the attitude of the authorities, parents, students and most importantly teachers to this technology. In other words, to succeed in this, determining the factors affecting a positive attitude to technology-based learning is of particular importance because a positive attitude increases motivation and better acceptance of technology as well as active participation in the related activities. Moreover, With a scientific and technological view of the current situation of the country's educational system and producing various electronic content and empowering teachers in the field of information technology it is possible with a long term planning to provide a dynamic ground and bring about structural developments in all dimensions for the educational environment and the teaching-learning process in smart schools. In knowledge-based societies, the development of smart schools is welcomed as a way to train creative and entrepreneurial force and is considered as a way of sustainable development. According to this principle, the entry of our country into this field can provide the ground for increasing and sustainable development.   ===================================================================================== COPYRIGHTS  ©2020 The author(s).
