        The present study aimed to provide a structural model of professional self-development of faculty members. The research method was descriptive-correlation and structural equations. The study population consisted of all faculty members of Tehran, Shahid Beheshti and Allameh Tabatabai universities, 3460 people, which was determined using random sampling method and with the help of Morgan table, 346 people. To collect the data, a researcher-made professional self-development questionnaire with reliability (α = 0.97) was used, which examines 5 dimensions of professional self-development. The results of analysis with the help of LISREL software and structural equation modeling analysis showed that the professional self-development structural model of faculty members has five key dimensions including professional self-development competencies, professional self-development action and implementation, professional self-development planning, professional self-development tendency and professional self-development effective factors. Which has a good fit with the data. The results showed that the effective factors with path coefficient (γ = 0.52) affected the tendency to professional self-development. Also, inclination with path coefficient (γ = 0.92) has affected professional self-development planning. In addition, path coefficient planning (γ = 0.95) has influenced professional self-development action and practice. Finally, action and practice have affected the professional self-development competencies with path coefficient (γ = 0.83). Manuscript profile

        Abstract The present research aims at investigating the feasibility of establishing the workplace curriculum in Iranian universities. This research seeks to answer the following question: Is it possible to establish the workplace curriculum field at the Iranian universities to train specialists in this field? The present study is qualitative research in terms of the purpose, nature, and implementation facilities. Semi-structured interviews with ten workplace curriculum specialists were used to conduct the research. Since this research focuses on the workplace curriculum, the critical case sampling method was used in this research. The information of the interviews was analyzed using the content analysis method. Based on the findings, the opinions of workplace curriculum specialists were categorized into three groups of proponents, conditional proponents, and opponents of establishing this field. Then, the roles and capabilities of the workplace curriculum graduates and their expected competencies were identified. Based on the finding of the research,the opinion of the education specialists in response to the necessity of establishing a field at university are divided into three thematic categories as "factors related to the field of curriculum studies", "factors related to similar fields and university majors" and "factors related to the workplace".Then, by analyzing the content of the experts' opinion in response to the topic of "preconditions necessary for the establishment of university field", two thematic categories of "executive conditions", "scientific conditions" and sub-themes were introduced. At the end, the roles , abilities and competencies of the graduates were examined. 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.
