On the other hand, many courses that are held in person or virtual with the purpose of training teaching to the professors do not serve the expected effectiveness. Hence, this study was conducted with the aim of examining the effectiveness of an electronic off-line course for development of faculty members which was held in one of the high-rank universities of Iran. This course titled "Teaching Competencies in the Virtual Classroom" was designed and implemented in order to improve the competencies of the professors in the three fields of teaching, assessment and electronic content development in the virtual classroom. The current research design was quantitative and the research strategy was a quasi-experiment of the pre-test and post-test type. The participants of this course were 33 university faculty members who completed the course in 5 weeks. In order to collect data, several self-report questionnaires were used, which were designed based on the level one and two components of Kirkpatrick's model. The results of the research showed that the reaction of the participants (satisfaction, involvement and relationship with the job) was positive towards the course and also this course had a significant effect on the perceived knowledge and skills of the participants. However, in the dimension of attitude, it had a negative effect on the attitude of the participants towards teaching. In addition, the self-confidence and commitment of the participants did not show any significant changes. These results have been discussed in relation to the eight pedagogical and andragogical features of the course, and the reasons this course has not been able to have the expected effects on the attitude, self-confidence and commitment of the professors has also been discussed. Also, the effects and application of these findings in both theoretical and practical fields are presented. Manuscript profile -

The research approach was quantitative-qualitative (mixed method). The statistical population in the qualitative phase included the principals of boys' high schools in one district of Sanandaj (Iran). Consequently, 8 individuals were selected as the study sample using the purposeful sampling method and phenomenological strategy. The study data were collected through conducting interviews including open-ended questions. The findings revealed: a) the concepts of professional ethics that educational managers adhere to with regard to the specific regulations of a profession, religious principles and values, and social norms; b) principles such as self-management, having a vision, professional capabilities, respect, commitment, and responsibility in the job; c) challenges such as structural challenges (lack of comprehensive standard, contradiction between administrative regulations, centralized management, ambiguity of goals) and individual challenges (passivity, limited visions). In order to collect the data, interviews were conducted with managers to obtain their views toward principles and standards of professional ethics, and they were asked if they adhere to these principles. Next, the data obtained from interviews were compiled and implemented in the form of a researcher-made questionnaire which was divided into two aspects: occupational principles and the other pedagogical principles. In the quantitative phase, the community (n=283) included all the teachers, assistants, and principals of boys' high schools in one district of Sanandaj. Using convenience sampling method, 163 individuals were selected as the study sample. Confirmatory factor analysis, one-sample t-test, and Friedman's test were used for data analysis. Finally, according to the results of the one-sample t-test, higher than average level of commitment was reported for managers. Also, the researcher-made questionnaire.

The theoretical model gap in this area and the increasing demand of organizations for decision-making are the main motivations for the author's research. For its theoretical model, this mixed research employed a theoretical research method in the qualitative section and a survey method in the quantitative section. In the qualitative section, after purposeful selection of experts from among managers and training professionals (using a snowball sampling method), the main factors influencing decision-making models were determined using a semi-structured approach. The participants in this section included twelve experts, and the results of the qualitative research section were extracted using thematic analysis. For the quantitative section, the validity of the questions was first confirmed by experts using the CVR method. Following the distribution and collection of questionnaires, they were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, T-test, and central indices. Afterwards, the influential factors in determining training methods and human resource development were identified. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Expert Choice software were used for weighting these factors. The influential factors, after identification with their weight coefficients, include Audience Level (0.161), Competency Development Program Scope (0.162), Competency Coverage Level (0.139), Competency Development Objective (0.044), Cost Allocation for Competency Development (0.284), Desired Competency Development Duration (0.067), Feasibility of Learner's Real Experience with Competency Phenomena (0.076), and Desired Learning Transfer Duration (0.064). To make the findings practical and direct their practical application, the results were presented in the form of fully functional decision-making software that aims to empower the organization in decision-making.
