  The main objective of this paper is the presentation of superintendent competency model for Iran’s General Inspection Office. Thus exploratory mixed method was used and the qualitative research methods is based on grounded theory approach. Data collection tool was Interview (structured and semi-structured) with 15 managers and superintendents that were selected using snowball sampling and the method for data analysis is content analysis. Competency codes and components (155 key concept, 33 sub-categories, 11 main categories) were extracted from interviews and a conceptual grounded model was developed. The central concept is "personal characteristics of the superintendents" in the four dimensions of characteristics: personality, moral, insight and analysis. The model was prepared and completed according to causal conditions (personal factors, organizational factors), contextual conditions (individual conditions, organizational conditions), intervening conditions (constraints, environmental conditions), strategies (superintendent’s personal development, organizational development) and consequences (superintendent competency development at the individual level, improving the quality of the organization). With use of the Delphi research methodology, a questionnaire was designed and the model was modified and approved by experts. The test for research hypotheses were formulated and the tested questionnaire was designed and completed by 170 managers and superintendent and the collecting and analyzing of the data and testing of the hypotheses were done by using confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis using SPSS, and PLS. The results of the quantitative phase showed that the relations in the model were confirmed with a satisfactory impact coefficient except 4 out of 16 cases as follows: the impact of the organizational factors on the personal factors, impact of the personal factors on the organization development strategies, personal conditions on the personal development of the superintendents, and environmental conditions on the organizational development strategies. Therefore, the above mentioned factors were not significant and these routes were not consistent with the designed model in the quality department and was not verified as for the quantitative aspect.

  The purpose of this study was to analyze the current status of training evaluation in private banks and identify the challenges in it. The present study was carried out qualitatively with the case study method. In this regard, the statistical population of the present study consisted of all training experts and specialists working in Private Banks that were selected non-randomly and purposefully. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the research data. Also, for analyzing qualitative data, Graneheim and Lundman's method was used. To determine the validity and reliability of the data collected, the guidelines provided by Creswell and Poth was used. The results showed that per 1,000 Employee 2/6 training staff are in the training unit of the organizations. Also, 78% of the staff in the training unit in organizations have university education unrelated to their career. Another finding was that all private banks use Kirkpatrick's model to evaluate their training courses, and only three of the organizations have used other models to evaluate their training courses. Finally, the challenges faced by organizations in the field of training evaluation were categorized into 13 categories. Manuscript profile

  In virtual in-service teacher training, instructional support or scaffolding is an essential component of effective training that can be provided in the form of computer-based scaffolding. Personalization of computer-based scaffolding is achieved with dynamic computer-based scaffolding. The purpose of this study is to design and validate a model of dynamic computer-based scaffolding in virtual in-service teacher training. The research method used in this research was mixed method with sequential exploratory design. In qualitative research, the synthesis research method was used and the components of the model were extracted and a concept and process model was designed. Quantitative research was used to validate the model and survey research method and questionnaire were used and the internal validity of the proposed model was confirmed. Dynamic computer-based scaffolding model in virtual in-service teacher training has 8 main components and 47 sub-components. Key components include analysis with 11 subcomponents, design with 16 subcomponents, development with 3 subcomponents, implementation with 3 subcomponents, evaluation with 8 subcomponents, dissermination with 3 subcomponents, process evaluation and revision, and review and revision with 3 subcomponents. Internal validaty findings from experts showed that concept and process model have a high internal validity. Dynamic computer-based scaffolding model in online in-service teacher training can be used to design dynamic and computer-based instructional support and lead to learning and independent performance in the future.
