Purpose: The purpose of the current research is to extract the components and dimensions of digital transformation and determine the levels and sequence of dimensions in Iran's education and upbringing, for the planning and implementation roadmap.Method: This research has a mixed approach (qualitative-quantitative). The qualitative section was able to extract the components of digital transformation by searching for authentic Persian and English articles published in the last ten years. With the help of seven experts, the digital transformation components were classified into eight dimensions in the form of 109 identified sub-components using the ISM method. Dimension levels were determined by SSIM matrix calculations in the quantitative part. MICMAC software version 5.3.0 was used to calculate the impact of relationships.Findings: Based on the opinion of experts and the results of ISM calculations, the identified dimensions including: institutional, education, technology, infrastructural, social, cultural and economic were placed in four levels.Conclusion: According to experts, the institutional dimension, being placed at the fourth level, has the greatest impact on digital transformation in Iran's education. Therefore, it is one of the key dimensions to achieve digital educational transformation that is placed at the first level of the model. According to the results of ISM, the economic and cultural dimensions were placed at the third level. Also, in analyzing the impact of relationships between dimensions using MICMAC software, the results indicate that the institutional dimension has a significant impact on infrastructure development.
