Purpose: The purpose of the current research was to identify and validate the explanatory components of support in Iran's secondary education system.
Methodology: The research method was qualitative-quantitative, the statistical population of the qualitative section was experts and specialists in the field of learning-teaching, teaching methods and building support and written documents related to the subject, including articles and scientific researches and related books authored and in the quantitative part, the teachers of the first and second year of high school were all over the country. In the qualitative part, using the snowball sampling method until reaching theoretical saturation, an in-depth interview was conducted with 13 experts, and 18 documents (texts) were examined with a targeted method for documents, and in the quantitative part, to evaluate the model, a researcher-made questionnaire with 134 Likert scale items was distributed among 384 people with a multi-stage relative cluster sampling method. To determine the validity and reliability in the qualitative phase of the necessary checks including acceptability (review by experts) and verifiability (re-review by experts) and in the quantitative phase, the validity of the questionnaires was verified by three methods: formal, content and structural. The method of determining factor loadings of items, Cronbach's alpha of components (between 0.749 and 0.864) and composite reliability (between 0.827 and 0.916) were confirmed. Qualitative data were analyzed through theoretical background and quantitative data with structural equation modeling technique and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis tests in Smart PLS software and Friedman test in SPSS software.
Findings: The results of the qualitative part indicated that the pattern of support in Iran's secondary education system includes 10 categories (development of human and non-human resources, improvement and development of the educational system, teaching-learning methods, culture and communication, laws and supportive behaviors, performance monitoring, strategies based on cognition and metacognition, strategies based on motivation, mental progress and scientific progress), 21 subcategories (development of human resources, empowerment of students, development of hardware and software facilities, cooperative and interactive teaching , task simplification, virtual learning, teaching based on scientific theories, culture building between parents and teachers, effective communication, supportive behaviors, internal and external strategies and instructions, mental and academic engagement, continuous assessment, metacognitive strategies, cognitive strategies , cognitive and metacognitive strategies, motivational strategies, mental well-being, actualization of potential talents, improvement of learning process and academic progress) and 134 indicators that are in the form of causal, contextual, interventional conditions, strategies and consequences in the research paradigm model. took place The results of the quantitative part showed that all the components of the research model were confirmed.
Conclusion: Based on the obtained data and based on the results of the research, suggestions are presented as follows: - strengthening the causal conditions, - strengthening the environmental conditions, strengthening the intervention conditions, strengthening the strategy (solution).
