high school mathematics.
Methodology: The present study in terms of purpose was applied and in terms
of implementation method was qualitative, which was performed in two stages
of synthesis research and content analysis. The research environment in the
synthesis research stage were all reference texts about recognizing the needs of
the high school mathematics curriculum in the period of 2007 to 2020 years,
which number of 47 sources were selected as a sample by purposeful sampling
method. The research environment in the content analysis stage were all
reference texts of educational reform of the high school mathematics curriculum
and national and regional support in the period of 2010 to 2020 years, which
number of 7 sources were selected as a sample by purposeful sampling method.
The content validity of the data was confirmed by 5 experts in the field of
curriculum and education of mathematics and their reliability was obtained by
the agreement coefficient method between the two coders 0.88. Data were
analyzed by synthesis research and content analysis methods via deductive.
Findings: The results of synthesis research showed that for the effective factors
on educational reform were identified 5 components and 12 subcomponents,
which the components included the need to review the curriculum, preparation
of teachers to change the curriculum, the need for teacher training, supervision

7 subcomponents, which the components included preparation teachers to
change the curriculum and providing curriculum implementation arrangements.
Finally, the diagram of the effective factors on educational reform at the level of
