Abstract
Introduction: The present study was conducted with the aim of presenting a model of strategic inquiry for the sustainable development of the public education system.
Research methodology: In order to achieve this goal, the mixed research method(qualitative with grounded theory approach and quantitative survey type) has been used. The statistical population in the field of quality consists of experts in the field of educational sciences who were purposefully selected as a sample through semi-structured interviews with 12 people based on the theoretical saturation of the findings. The statistical population in the quantitative field also includes school principals, specialized teachers and experts in educational management, of which 261 people were selected by cluster sampling. The data collection tool is semi-structured in the qualitative part of the interview and a researcher-made questionnaire in the quantitative part. The validity of the questionnaire was determined by assessment of experts (eliminated 18 components out of 60 components) and its reliability was determined by Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.8). In order to analyze the data, in the descriptive part, the statistics of frequency percentage, average, etc., and in the inferential statistics section, confirmatory factor analysis and SmartPLS 3 software were used to explain the model.
Findings: The research findings in the qualitative part include causal, contextual, intervening, strategic, consequential, and pivotal components. In the quantitative part, the fitness of the model assessed by the GOF criterion, which indicates an acceptable fit.
Conclusion: Therefore, the prepared model can play an important role in the sustainable development of the public education system.
