The statistical population in the qualitative phase of the study included education experts and distinguished teachers in education office districts. The sample size in the qualitative phase was calculated based on the theoretical saturation principle using purposive sampling method. In the quantitative phase, the statistical population of the study included all 3,500 primary school teachers of Tehran. Cochran's formula was used to estimate the sample size and 350 participants were selected using cluster sampling. Interviews and questionnaires were used to collect data in the present study. The validity and reliability of the instruments were reviewed and confirmed. In the qualitative phase, the data analysis method was theoretical coding that was done using MAXQDA software. In the quantitative phase, inferential statistics tests such as Pearson correlation, one-sample t-test, structural equation modeling, and heuristic factor analysis were performed using SPSS-v21, Smart Pls-v2, and Lisrel-v8.8. The results of factor analysis showed that out of the 120 available indicators (items), 18 main components were identified. Accordingly, the components of knowledge, skill, attitude as constituent factors and individual factors, organizational factors and group factors were identified as effective factors.
