<Abstract>This study aimed to identify the components of a curriculum model for Work and Technology in the lower secondary education of Fars Province. Considering the necessity of curriculum localization and its adaptation to regional needs and conditions, this qualitative research was conducted using a thematic analysis approach. Participants included 20 faculty members from reputable universities, selected through purposive non-random sampling. Data were collected via interviews and analyzed in three coding stages: basic, organizing, and global themes. The findings revealed that the Work and Technology curriculum model is structured around four main components: Objectives, Content, Teaching Methods, and Assessment, further detailed into sixteen sub-components across four dimensions. These components can serve as a suitable model for revising and enhancing the Work and Technology curriculum in Fars Province.</Abstract>
