The approach of the current research is qualitative and its method is synthesis research. The research community is all the articles (148 articles) that have been presented in specialized and scientific databases since 2012 and 2013 on learning culture based on the theory of social constructivism. The sample of the research is 33 articles, which were selected based on thematic monitoring, theoretical data saturation, and purposefully. The research data were collected from the qualitative analysis of the studied documents. In order to analyze the data, content analysis was used in the method of categorization based on Roberts' synthesis research model. In order to check the validity of the findings, the recoding of the findings was used based on Scott's method (2012) and the agreement coefficient between the evaluators was calculated as 79%. The components and indicators of the learning culture based on social constructivism in 8 dimensions, 36 axes and 124 categories including goals, learner characteristics, teacher characteristics, teaching-learning approaches, content, environment, evaluation characteristics and The factors became effective.
