Purpose: The purpose of this study was to design and validate a comprehensive education model for student-teachers based on the Holy Quran and the Fundamental Transformation Document of Education in Farhangian University.
Methods and Materials: This applied study employed an exploratory mixed-method design consisting of qualitative and quantitative phases. In the qualitative phase, 20 experts in teacher education, Farhangian University administrators, and faculty members were selected through purposive sampling based on the saturation principle. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and data were analyzed using thematic analysis and three-stage coding (open, axial, selective) in MAXQDA. In the quantitative phase, the population included managers, faculty members, and student-teachers, from whom 821 participants were selected using Cochran’s formula and cluster sampling. A researcher-made questionnaire with 74 items was used, and its validity was examined through CVR, CVI, and construct validity via CFA; reliability was confirmed with Cronbach’s alpha and composite reliability. Quantitative analyses were conducted using SPSS-21 and LISREL-8.
Findings: Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the Quran-based model contained 33 indicators grouped into 6 significant components with excellent model fit (RMSEA=0.066, CFI=0.97, GFI=0.94). Similarly, the model grounded in the Fundamental Transformation Document included 41 indicators organized into 8 components with strong fit indices (RMSEA=0.070, CFI=0.95, GFI=0.93). One-sample t-tests indicated that the final model significantly met criteria of alignment, comprehensibility, generalizability, and theoretical control.
Conclusion: The results confirmed that a coherent and validated student-teacher education model—grounded simultaneously in Quranic principles and the Fundamental Transformation Document—can effectively guide the enhancement of teacher education processes in Farhangian University, offering a reliable framework endorsed by experts and supported by robust statistical evidence.
