Educational systems do not develop beyond the ability and motivation of their teachers. The teacher is the main factor in implementing educational programs in the school. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors, criteria and indicators for measuring teacher readiness in primary school. We conducted a systematic review in the period 2000-2021 and searched scientific databases including ProQuest, Eric, Google Scholar, SID, Ensani, and Magiran. We analyzed 67 documents based on PRISMA criteria. The results of the analyses led to the identification of 191 indicators, 21 criteria and 8 main factors. In the next step, the effect of each criterion on each other was estimated using the Dematel technique. Findings indicated that the first 5 criteria with most impact, respectively, include teaching aptitude, moral sensitivity, commitment and responsibility, rational and ethical training and being research-oriented. Also, by calculating the net impact, the top criteria include basic teacher prerequisites, general and superior mental abilities, teaching aptitude, attitudinal and emotional characteristics, and communication skills, respectively. The results of the rankings show that the criteria related to the teacher prerequisites factor have the greatest effect

Schools are considered as the most important foundations of education; therefore, all educational policies need to be focused on factors affecting school performance. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to identify and determine factors, criteria, and indicators of effective primary schools. To meet the study objectives, a systematic and comprehensive review was conducted on the research literature. In this way; the databases of Sage, Emerald, ERIC, Taylor & Francis Online, Science Direct, Civilica, Magiran, Scientific Information Database (SID), and Noor were searched. After excluding articles irrelevant to the purpose of the research, a complete overview was performed on 32 remaining ones. The results of the systematic review led to the extraction of 5 general factors, 15 criteria, and 163 indicators of effective schools. It was concluded that factors related to individual’s behavior in school (mainly administrators and teachers), school-related individual’s behavior (mostly parents), status of educational materials (e.g. quality of school curriculums), and school culture (e.g. school climate or atmosphere) had been significantly taken into account in these articles.
