Education is a very complex and sensitive issue, and the sustainability of a society depends largely on the efficiency and effectiveness of the education system. If the education system can properly fulfill its mission of individual and social development, it will also provide a favorable environment for cultural, economic, political and social development in society. It goes without saying that a great deal of the complexity and sensitivity of the education system goes back to the competencies of senior education managers. One of the challenges of HRM in organizations, especially in education, is how to select and promote managers. In this regard, the evaluation process process is used as a guideline for evaluating and effectively developing competencies in workplace-like conditions. Therefore, the present study was designed to identify the competencies of higher education managers and to present managers' competency models for use in evaluation centers. Mixed research approach was used to conduct the study. The research population in the qualitative section was all experts, professors and senior managers in the field of education, who were interviewed with 17 experts using snowball based sampling and the statistical population was all of the education managers in Tehran. 462 individuals were selected using cluster sampling method. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire in the quantitative phase. Its validity was confirmed by experts and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test. Semi-structured interviews were used in the qualitative part. In the second step, quantitative method was used in descriptive-analytical method. Based on this, competencies of education managers for use in evaluation center were identified and then the model of competency of higher education managers for use in evaluation center was presented. To estimate the validity of the proposed model, second-order confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling with partial least squares method were used. The results showed that the components of the model of education managers competency for use in the evaluation center are: knowledge competence, professional competence, personality competence, executive performance competence, leadership and guidance competence, communication competence and perceptual competence.

In our country we face the fact that many faculty members of the universities have not received formal teacher training but they teach and this has been one major concerns in the field of education. 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
