Abstract

Teachers do not know how not to forget their best-beloved selves during their careers. Therefore, this research has sought to understand and describe the effective elements in achieving the best-loved self in teachers. Based on the findings, a framework for teaching the best-loved self to teachers would be extracted. Therefore, according to experts' advice, the participants were selected using obvious purposive sampling from groups of student teachers participating in the Jihadi project of Farhangian University of Yazd, teachers with a maximum of 5 years of experience, exemplary teachers, and teachers who had retired early or changed jobs. Then, the findings of the semi-structured interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis to gain valuable insights from the interviewees. The alignment method was used to validate the qualitative data. The findings include 72 basic themes, 21 organizing themes of the first and second level, which include logic (encouragement of humanistic culture, self-enrichment, development of educational love, etc.), purpose (social-cultural, individual, professional, etc.), content (attitude, skill-scientific and...), teaching-learning strategies (exploratory learning, mutual learning, etc.), teaching materials and resources (technology,...), learning activities (narrative reconstruction, storytelling, etc.) ), space (classroom, group meetings, virtual space, etc.), time (during all sessions, flexible, etc.), and evaluation methods (self-evaluation, peer evaluation, etc.), from which, by combining these categories, the curriculum framework based on the education of the best- loved self was extracted for teacher training.
