Abstract

The purpose of this research is to validate the physical mechanisms of the teacher's competence in the role of a lifelong learner. The statistical population of the research was 269 faculty members of public universities in Tehran, of which 150 were selected as a sample using a targeted sampling method. The research synthesis method was used to review the literature and research background. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire, which the researchers prepared based on the findings of the synthesis method. Collaborative review and triangulation of data sources were used to determine the validity of the questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used for the reliability of the tool, and the coefficient was 0.94 indicating high reliability of the tool. To confirm the findings of the questionnaire, one-stage and two-stage confirmatory factor analysis was used. Findings: The physical mechanisms of a teacher's competence in the role of a lifelong learner include four main dimensions, including individual competence, motivational competence, informational and technological competence, and proactive competence that explain the significance of physical mechanisms and their validity is confirmed.
