IntroductionThe current research was conducted with the aim of investigating the competence of teachers in the role of lifelong learners in the general education system of Iran MethodThis research was a part of the combined research, of sequential exploratory type and classification model, which was conducted in two qualitative and quantitative stages. The qualitative part was conducted using the synthesis research method and in six stages by Sandlovsky and Barroso (2003). The results of the qualitative stage include the individual mechanism, the motivational mechanism, the mechanism of information and technology literacy, and the mechanism of activism. The quantitative part was done using a descriptive survey method and a researcher-made questionnaire. In order to determine the validity of the three data sources, Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.94 indicated the reliability of the tool in this research. The questionnaire was given to 150 experts in the field of curriculum planning and educational psychology, and the data were collected using One-step and two-step confirmatory factor analysis method was analyzed with the help of Lisrel softwareResultsIn the qualitative stage, the results of the synthesis research showed that the dimensions, components and characteristics of the teacher's competence as a lifelong learner can be examined from the four dimensions of the individual mechanism, the motivational mechanism, the mechanism of information and technology literacy, and the mechanism of activism. In the dimension of individual mechanism (metacognitive skills, personality traits, communication and interpersonal skills)", motivational mechanism (belief, motivation and emotional skills), "information and technology literacy mechanism (digital skills, familiarity with information literacy, interaction with technology in the scope of life) )" and "activism mechanism (activism in teaching-learning process, reflection, professional learning, intellectual ability, developed professional identity, familiarity with pedagogical knowledge management, foreign language mastery)" were placed. In the Chargob accreditation section of the competency model of a teacher as a lifelong learner in Iran's education system, first- and second-order confirmatory factor analysis was used.The findings of this section indicated that the items of the individual mechanism element with a factor load of 0.91-0.80, the items of being equipped with a motivational mechanism with a factor load of 0.91-0.68, the items of the information and technology mechanism element with a factor load of 91 0.94-0.0 and the items of the activism element with a factor load of 0.93-0.85 are significant explanations for the mentioned model and their validity is confirmed. DiscussionAccording to the statistical results, the design and accreditation of the teacher's competence model as a lifelong learner in Iran's education system was achieved and its important components were determined

IntroductionDigital competence includes safe use of information technology, exchange of information and communication and participation through internet networks. Therefore, teachers' familiarity with competences leads to the use and exploitation of these skills as well as their acquisition and strengthening. MethodConsidering that the purpose of the current research is to review the digital competence of teachers in the post-corona era, the research approach is applied qualitative, phenomenological and descriptive method. For this purpose, by using semi-structured in-depth interview technique of perception and lived experience, 27 primary school teachers of Sari city, who were selected by purposeful sampling with maximum changes and criterion-oriented methods, were examined and analyzed. It should be noted that in order to validate the findings, the method of review by members and examination of two external experts was used to control the data. The data was analyzed based on the seven-step strategy of Collaizi. ResultsThe research findings in the interview section with primary school teachers showed that teachers' perceptions of digital competencies in the post-corona era include 20 themes (information and digital literacy, creating digital content, digital resources, technology and information skills, digital communication and collaboration, digital interaction, activity Digital team, digital collaboration, digital creativity and innovation, individual empowerment, power of inference, digital behavioral action, teaching and learning, classroom management, teaching methods based on digital conditions, digital evaluation, digital problem solving, data safety and protection, and digital environment. search, digital research and development, increasing knowledge) and 60 sub-themes. DiscussionAlthough Corona caused a big shock to the education system of the country, this shock caused significant growth in different dimensions and in many cases turned into an opportunity. School teachers who add the experience of Corona to their field of possibility, bring a new type of education, teaching, learning, assignment, evaluation, companionship and cooperation to the field in addition to the previous possibilities. Thus, in the post-corona era, new tasks have been assigned to teachers due to digital competences and technological skills, as a result, teachers must have the necessary digital competence and increase their professional credibility.

Abstract Introduction: The professional identity of teachers is affected by many factors and conditions inside and outside the educational environment. Teacher professional identity is a fundamental issue that encompasses the overall career advancement of teachers. Professional identity is a teachers' interpretive framework that is created through different interactions of teachers with different working conditions and their fields of work. Professional identity is considered to be a dynamic thing that develops over time, which is why many factors affect the development of teachers' professional identity. Identifying these factors and paying attention to them will improve the efficiency of teachers. The present study aimed to identify the factors affecting the growth of a teacher's professional identity. Methodology: The method of this research is based on studies conducted by a narrative-research method, which has been done with studying their autobiographies. According to the research method of the society and the research sample, the life stories of the narrator (researcher) are formed. Data collection tools in this study are researcher’s narratives from his/her life, education and working life, which are based on the principles of narrative research by Clandin and Conley (2000). These principles are based on the focus of narrative on three elements of time, place and interaction, and through this, the life story of the storyteller is re-told. In this approach, researchers collect descriptions of events or happenings and present them as a story using a plot. To evaluate the validity and reliability of the findings, two methods of triangulation and group-evaluating have been used. Findings: The study of the course of narratives showed that the formation of the teacher's professional identity from the following stages: individual negativity, zigzag, social negativity and affirmativeness. Also, factors affecting the development of teacher professional identity were organized in the following four dimensions: Individual and family (including components of education, personality, life events, family atmosphere, beliefs and interactions), factors related to the educational life (including components of interactions, behavioral, contextual, formal curriculum and unknown curriculum), factors related to the employment life (behavioral-managerial, contextual, supervisory and educational components) and socio-political dimension (including social and political components). Conclusion: The formation of professional identity is a complex and long process that is full of challenges and problems. This process takes place in a specific cultural context and is influenced by personal, social, cultural, political, professional and global factors.
