description BACKGROUND: Classroom behavior is one of the important variables for the curriculum in the learning path of learners. The aim of this study was to explain the classroom behavior process of medical sciences students. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a qualitative study using the grounded theory approach, the classroom behavior of 21 students from different medical fields was assessed. Purposeful and theoretical sampling methods were used. Data collection tools were semi-structured interviews. Sampling was continued until saturation, and data analysis was performed according to the Corbin and Strauss 2015 approach. The study was done from 2020 until 2023. RESULTS: The results of the data analysis were divided into three main categories (representation scene, behavioral representation, and representation effect) and nine subcategories. The representation scene consisted of the following subcategories: learner features, teacher and teaching features, classroom environment, and educational content. Behavioral representation was the second category and included groupism, the behavioral continuum, and students’ expectations. The representation effect was the third category and included academic progress and positive and negative emotions. CONCLUSION: Students’ classroom behavior is affected by various factors. Professors and policymakers of educational programs can strengthen the positive classroom behaviors of medical students in the shadow of learning theories by recognizing, paying attention, and planning to get closer to educating students with professional behavior and performance.
