Abstract: Technological learning is one of the most important functions of technological collaboration in developing countries, and the success of collaborations also depends on it. In the current qualitative study using a case study approach, an attempt has been done to determine the dimensions of technological learning in the foreign investment contracts of the oil industry. Data analysis was performed using theme analysis method and a qualitative research model was designed. According to the findings of this study, the technological learning framework has several main categories, namely: 1) contract features; 2) infrastructural aspects; 3) characteristics of technology receiver; 4) characteristics of the foreign partner; 5) the nature of knowledge.
