The method and tool of data collection was fieldwork and semi-structured interviews. Descriptive methods were used to analyze the data.
Conclusion: The research findings indicate that the identification of educators' competencies includes knowledge competencies (including 18 sub-competencies), skills competencies (including 20 sub-competencies), attitudes competencies (including 17 sub-competencies), and personality competencies (including 24 sub-competencies). It was suggested that the competency model identified in this study be sent to the Nizaja Assessment Centers and the Paydan Center so that, while selecting instructors based on the specified competencies, they can be evaluated and measured accordingly. It should also be sent to the Deputy Ministers of Education and Training as well as the Nizaja Inspectorate to hold empowerment courses in this regard.
