Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to determine the efficiency of the Physical Education Deputies of the General Education Offices (located in the provinces) of the Iranian Education Ministry throughout the country using the CCR model. The present study is, in terms of paradigm, a meta-proof research with a quantitative approach, and is an applied one in terms of purpose. The technique used in this study is data envelopment analysis. The statistical population includes the deputies of physical education headquartered in the 31 provinces of Iran. The tool used was a five-valued questionnaire, which was evaluated on the basis of a fuzzy method. The content and face validity of the questionnaire was approved by the focus group of the research, including supervisors and consultants and two experts in the field of sports management based on CVR and CVI forms. Finally, experts, including 30 senior managers of the Ministry of Education, deputies of physical education at the national level and sports teachers who had international championships, commented on the importance of each of the input and output indicators. The results of the study, which was about the efficiency of the deputy of physical education of the provinces based on the CCR model in the years 1394-98, showed that the provinces of Ardabil, Ilam, Tehran, Khorasan Razavi, Northern Khorasan, and Khuzestan enjoyed the necessary efficiency. The outcomes of the sensitivity analysis of inputs and outputs in the CCR model indicated that "budget" and "championship sport", respectively, played a greater role in determining the efficiency of the deputies. Also, the results of the correlation test showed that there was a significant relationship between the average inputs and outputs and the average efficiency of the deputies in the CCR model.
