Purpose: Primary education, as the foundation of lifelong learning, relies heavily on teacher competence; however, the assessment of teacher competencies requires revision and the adoption of innovative approaches. This study aimed to analyze the challenges in evaluating primary school teachers’ competencies and to propose modern solutions to improve evaluation processes through the use of digital technologies.
Methods: This qualitative research employed a thematic analysis approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 17 participants (primary school teachers with at least five years of teaching experience from urban and rural areas of Tehran Province), using purposive sampling.
Results: Data analysis resulted in 198 open codes and identified three main themes: challenges in competency assessment (lack of transparent criteria, insufficient constructive feedback, regional inequality), teachers’ needs (training on evaluation standards, continuous feedback, digital tools), and innovative solutions (interactive training, transparent policymaking, integration of technology in assessment). The proposed model presents a unified framework for evaluating primary teachers’ competencies emphasizing digital technologies, interactive training, and transparent policies. The findings suggest that identified challenges such as lack of transparency and regional disparities hinder the effectiveness of assessments, while the incorporation of digital technologies and clear policies can enhance evaluation processes.
Conclusion: It is recommended that the Ministry of Education implement technology-based training programs and transparent policies to support teachers’ professional development. This study provides a foundation for future research on digital assessment within developing educational systems.
