        The purpose of this research is to systematically study the components of professional competence of faculty members in the universities. The research methodology is content analysis. For this purpose, by using thematic analysis techniques, the dimensions and components of the professional competence of Iranian university professors were extracted from the scientific articles published in the journals. The studied population was all related research articles indexed in the ISC database, finally 29 articles were selected and analyzed. To check the validity of the research, the method of negotiation with peers was used, and to confirm its reliability, the method of checking the coding and the agreement of at least two researcher coders was used. In this order, after identifying and determining the articles, the two researchers simultaneously and separately extracted and named the desired codes. And then they confirmed the similar cases and reported the disputed materials with negotiation and agreement. After the completion of the report, the third person, while reviewing the complete process and especially its coding, confirmed it. The rate of coding agreement between two researchers was used using non-parametric statistics, and the Phi coefficient was reported as 0.89. Scientometric techniques and thematic analysis were used to analyze the data. Analyzes were done in Excel and MAXQDA10. Scientific findings show that with the passage of time, the number of researches conducted on this issue has increased. A large number of articles have been published in the "Teaching Research" magazine, with the organizational name "Islamic Azad University" they have done more research on this issue, most of the research done with a few articles and the professional records of the professors of "universities" "Comprehensive" has been done. It has been done from other universities. The findings of the theme analysis indicated that there was a difference between the competencies of the professors of different universities. All universities share "individual/personal competences", knowledge competences, "educational competences" and "communication competences", while some universities have a series of specialized competences in addition to these competences. Comprehensive universities have the scope of "professional competences" of professors, and Farhangian, comprehensive scientific-work and industrial universities have reported the lowest number of professional competences. The conclusion that comes from the research is that the type and nature of competence of specialist professions is a type of university where the professors serve. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study was to investigate key features of competency-based curriculum and the factors influencing employability of graduates at University of Applied Sciences. Data were collected and analyzed through interviews and qualitative descriptive-deductive methods. In terms of the objective, it is applied and in terms of implementation, it is a qualitative and phenomenological study. Population comprised curriculum specialists, 10 of who were selected via purposeful sampling. Validity and reliability were approved by four experts. Results show that provision of appropriate education based on businesses’ needs, alignment with rapid technological changes, flexibility, assessment of graduates' professional competence before entering labor market, and nurturing creativity and entrepreneurship skills are key features of competency-based curriculum. Familiarizing students with new job skills, implementing real-world apprenticeship and internship programs, and gaining genuine pre-employment experience enhance employability. In contrast, higher number of theoretical hours, old-dated curriculum, restricted real job experience and not sufficient career ready practices are the main reasons for low employability. Strengthening the composition of specialized curriculum committees, implementation of professional qualifications system, alignment of practices with real needs of labor market, continuous and efficient monitoring, establishing connections between the ISCO, ISCED and the Labor Market Information systems are recommended.
