| Professional learning networks (PLNs) are an emerging research area that requires further exploration. We need more information about the basic processes of teachers' learning in these networks. The present study aimed to identify and validate the dimensions and components of the professional learning network model of elementary school teachers in Tabriz. In this study, a mixed method (qualitative-quantitative) of sequential exploratory type was used. In the qualitative part of the research, the required data was collected using the meta-synthesis method, and in this regard, 35 articles were purposefully selected and included in the analysis. Also, the fuzzy Delphi method was used to confirm and screen the findings, and the final weight of the desired dimensions and components was obtained using the SWARA method. In the quantitative part, to examine the fit of the identified model, the research components were collected in a questionnaire and distributed among elementary school teachers in Tabriz using cluster and stratified sampling methods. The data in this section were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis in SPSS26 and AMOS26 software. In total, 308 codes were extracted from the studied sources. These codes were included in 15 concepts and 3 main categories: individual, group, and organizational, and a model of teachers' professional learning networks was formed. The concepts of valuing people, the occurrence of change, and progress were introduced as the most important. The fit indices of the measurement model show that the identified dimensions and components had a good fit. | ||
