Abstract

Introduction and Objective: Talent identification and academic guidance, as fundamental pillars in developing students' potential and shaping their educational and career paths, require comprehensive and scientifically validated models. The present study aimed to develop the components and elements of a talent identification and academic guidance model for students and to validate its applicability in Alborz schools.

Methodology: This qualitative study employed a grounded theory approach. The statistical population included experts and specialists in counseling, career guidance, and academic advising. Twelve individuals were selected through theoretical sampling for in-depth interviews, which continued until theoretical saturation was achieved. To validate the proposed model, 14 specialists were purposively sampled and involved in the study. The research instrument consisted of interviews with specialists and school counselors. Content validity of the proposed model was assessed using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and the Scale Content Validity Index (S-CVI).

Findings: The Content Validity Index (CVI) demonstrated the comprehensiveness of judgments regarding the validity or applicability of the final model or instrument. As the minimum acceptable CVI score is 0.79, the results indicated that this value exceeded 0.79 for all criteria in the model. Therefore, it can be concluded that the proposed model possesses appropriate content validity.

Discussion and Conclusion: According to the results, the talent identification and academic guidance model can enable students to strategically design their educational and career futures, boosting their confidence and optimism in achieving their goals.
