Abstract

The current research was conducted to design and evaluate a model for virtual education management. The research method is applied research method, and it is exploratory in terms of the research family. In the qualitative part, using the foundation's data research method, first data were collected then items were determined. Then they were coded and analyzed.

The statistical population in the qualitative section were professors and specialists in educational management and virtual education at Tehran University and Mohaghegh Ardabili University. In the quantitative phase, the questionnaire was compiled. The statistical population in the quantitative part includes 172 postgraduate students of Mohaghegh Ardabili.

Data were analyzed in the form of a structural model. The validation of the designed model was done in the quantitative part. In the quantitative stage, analysis was done based on SPSS and Lisrel software.

The results indicated that the variables of causal factors, contextual factors, interfering factors, strategic factors, and determined items are meaningful predictors for virtual education management. Also, the output of Lisrel software indicated that the model has a good fit. According to the results, causal factors, contextual factors, interfering factors, and strategic factors have a direct and significant effect on virtual education management. They can be considered effective factors for designing the virtual education management model.
