摘要：The aim of this study was to develop a model for assessing the performance of student Research Centers in Isfahan Province. In this regard, for the evaluation and analysis of the data, six indicators were put forward for the measurement and analysis of performance, which for these indicators in proportion to the purpose of the research centers, 47 markers were defined. The present study is an applied research study and conducted with the research approach in the field of Research Centers’ performance in Isfahan Province during the academic year of 2013-14. Also with respect to the quantitative parameters used in research, the used model is the type of operational research one and carried out based on the data from the survey. Moreover, with regard to the adopted research methodology (descriptive research), the method of data collection was to survey the comments of Research center authorities. The statistical population of this study consisted of 21 research centers running in the province which all 21 centers were included in the sample of this research. The analysis method is based on the concepts of analytical hierarchy method which is a graphical illustration of the real complex problem. The general purpose of the problem is on the top and values and options are located on the lower levels. The findings of the indicators, which in a way demonstrates the set markers based on the articles of the association of research centers, opinions of elites and authorities of the research centers at the disposal of research center managers showed that the weight of each indicator in measuring the performance is as follows: Indicators related to festivals and competitions (CR: 0.003, 0.229), dissemination of the research culture (CR:0.003, 0.218), human resources (CR: 0.003, 0.096), Research center management (CR: 0.003, 0.096), development of Research Center (CR: 0.003, 0.147), Educational space, information, and administration (CR: 0.003, 0.146). Also, a certain weight is set for markers of each indicator for performance assessment in accordance with the priorities of the indicator. The results of the research led to the formulation of the proposed model of performance, based on the measurement criteria and markers derived from the research centers objectives
