Abstract
The aim of the current research is to evaluate the development pattern of teachers' and students' participation in the research activities of student research centers. The present research method was quantitative-survey and practical in terms of purpose. The statistical population included 250 university professors, school principals, research institute managers, research institute experts, and science and technology park experts. The research tool included a questionnaire made by the researcher based on the background texts and interviews of the qualitative part of the research. Reliability and validity in PLS were evaluated in two parts of measurement and structural models. Also, structural equation method using Smart-PLS software was used for data analysis. The findings showed that the path coefficient of the influence of background factors on strategies was (0.24), causal conditions on strategies (0.44), intervening factors on strategies (0.32) and the impact of strategies on outcomes (0.73). Also, the predictive power index of Q2 for the dependent variables of strategies (0.429), consequences (0.412) is at a very favorable level, and the index of the coefficient of determination of the model for the variables of strategies (0.754) and consequences (0.534) is also estimated at a high level. The GOF fit index was equal to 0.573, which shows the overall strength of the model. It can be concluded that the proposed model has a suitable fit and can be taken into consideration by the planners of the country's education system.
