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.
