Abstract :

The present study was conducted with the aim of pathologizing the current status of the teacher-researcher program (research in practice) and providing solutions to strengthen and expand it in the Iranian education system. The type of research is qualitative and phenomenological design has been used and semi-structured interview tools were used to collect data, so that research questions were answered through interviews with information groups. The face and content validity of the interview was reviewed and finally confirmed by several experts in the field of action research. To determine the "reliability of data", two criteria used by qualitative study experts were used, including: reliability and acceptability. The statistical population included all research teachers, principals and research experts of Kermanshah province, from which 30 people from all three groups were selected by purposive sampling. The results showed that the most important obstacles to the implementation of the teacher-researcher program were: cultural, managerial and administrative barriers, dissemination and application, motivation, implementation and content, and in the presentation of solutions, the results showed that Awareness-raising, motivational incentives and content improvement are effective in strengthening and expanding the teacher-researcher program in the education system.
