Abstract

The aim of this research was Validation the paradigmatic model of teachers’ sustainable professional development.
This research was applied in terms of purpose and mixed method, sequential exploratory.The qualitative stage was based on a grounded theory approach. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview. Open, axial, and selective coding and maxqda (2020) were used to analyze the data. In the quantitative stage, The statistical population of the study was all elementary school teachers in schools in Ardabil province, 5009 people, of whom 360 people were selected using a multi-stage cluster sampling method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire.To examine the significance of the relationships between the variables, partial least squares model, convergent and divergent validity, Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability, SPSS and Smart PLS 4 were used.
The results showed that the path coefficients between latent variables and main constructs were higher than 0.7 and the factor loadings between latent and observered variables were higher than 0.5, also the p-values were lower than 0.05 and the t-statistic was higher than 1.96, so the relationships between latent and observered variables with the main constructs were significant. Also, the average variance extracted (AVE) values were higher than 0.5 and the heterotrait-monotrait ratio values (HTMT) were lower than 0.9 and the variable items had appropriate internal correlation and discriminant validity. It can be concluded that the results from the quantitative stage confirm the paradigm model obtained from the qualitative stage of the research and this model has appropriate validity.
