Designing a Teacher's Competency Model with a Meta-Composite Qualitative Approach

The current research was conducted with the aim of designing a teacher's competency model, using a qualitative approach. It was conducted within the framework of a qualitative methodology, employing the meta-synthesis method based on the seven-step approach of Sandelowski and Barroso (2007). The research focuses on all Persian and English studies published between 2000 and 2024 in the field of teacher competencies. To gather relevant articles, keywords related to the research aim were systematically searched, and the retrieved articles and documents were examined using a purposive sampling method based on predefined inclusion criteria. The selected studies were analyzed through a three-stage coding process (open, axial, and selective) using MaxQDA2020 software. The data analysis revealed 52 open codes, which were organized into three main categories and ten subcategories: individual competencies (including individual performance, self-efficacy, and communication skills), organizational competencies (including organizational innovation, positive organizational transformation, knowledge sharing, and organizational learning), and professional competencies (including educational, research, and digital competencies). Based on the findings, teacher competencies can be developed within educational organizations, encouraging teachers to foster creativity and innovation in their roles.
