Abstract

The purpose of this study was to design a model for accrediting the international standards of the Farhangian University evaluation system accomplished through the mixed-methods procedure (qualitative and quantitative) and exploratory design. The statistical population of the study consisted of two groups. In the qualitative phase of the study, professors and experts familiar with the field of accreditation of the validation system, and in the quantitative phase, all faculty members and adjunct professors in the Farhangian Universtity of Razavi, North, and South Khorasan Provinces participated including 741 participants. In the qualitative phase, 18 scientific experts were selected through judgmental purposive sampling and based on the saturation principle. In the quantitative phase, 256 participants (based on the Morgan table) were selected by stratified random sampling to answer the questionnaire. To collect the data in the qualitative phase, this study used the structured and semi-structured interview and in the quantitative phase, a researcher-made questionnaire was used. The present study used the grounded theory methodology to analyze the qualitative data, and the analysis of variance and covariance to analyze the quantitative phase. KMO and Bartlett’s test was used for sample adequacy test and correlation. Furthermore, the model was designed using structural equation modeling. The result of the quantitative phase showed that all fit indices used in this model have a very convenient fit. The most significant factors in accrediting the international standards of the evaluation system in Farhangian University were identified as “setting goals in comparison with the optimal patterns in order to achieve the desired set of results”, making sure employees have a healthy and transcendent work environment align with the social responsibilities”, and “the extent to which the mission and goals are specified”
