Objective: The teaching-learning process is a complex interplay of pedagogical methods, educational content, and institutional resources, necessitating a thorough examination of students' perspectives to identify deficiencies and inform effective improvements in higher education settings.
Methods: The present study employed grounded theory methodology at the conceptual organization level to examine the issues involved in the teaching-learning process at the College of Humanities in Islamic Azad University (Science & Research Branch) from the perspective of students. A purposive sampling method was utilized by conducting semi-structured interviews with 15 students (5 males and 10 females).

The identified themes revealed students' viewpoints and experiences regarding challenges in teaching methods, educational content, interaction with faculty, facilities and resources, and assessment methods.
Conclusions: In summary, the study identified significant deficiencies in the teaching-learning processes suggesting that targeted improvements in teaching methods, resource allocation, and interaction could enhance educational effectiveness and student engagement.
