Abstract
The present study, with a qualitative approach and using thematic analysis method and the MAXQDA18 software, explores, on the one hand, the conceptions and competencies of the ideal teacher according to the views of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution based on his statements to teachers from 1989 to 2024, and on the other hand, critically examines the prevailing views in the field of curriculum planning. The findings of this study indicate that the model of competencies of the ideal teacher, according to Ayatollah Khamenei, emphasizes the concept of the teacher as a prophet in five dimensions: expertise in specialized knowledge, expertise in the teaching role, expertise in the educational role, expertise in the cultural-social role, and finally, the personality and character of the teacher. In contrast, prevailing views are generally influenced by the teaching role and focus on the concept of the teacher as an instructor, mainly emphasizing the first two dimensions mentioned above. However, in these views, there is also a gradual and sometimes increasing attention to the competencies related to the educational and social roles, albeit based on different foundations. In this regard, the necessity of addressing three largely neglected competencies in teacher education planning is increasingly emphasized.
