Abstract :

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.
