Abstract

Background and Objective: Talent identification and academic guidance are fundamental pillars for developing students' talents and determining their educational and career paths. These processes require comprehensive and scientific models. The aim of this study was to develop the components and elements and to determine the validity of a model for talent identification and academic guidance for students in Alborz province schools.
Research Methodology: This research was conducted using a qualitative approach based on grounded theory. The statistical population included experts and specialists in counseling, career guidance, and academic advising during the 2023–2024 academic year. Among them, 12 individuals were selected through theoretical sampling for in-depth interviews. Interviews continued until theoretical saturation was achieved. To validate the proposed model, 14 experts were selected using purposive sampling. The research tools included interviews with experts and school counselors. To examine the content validity of the proposed model, the Content Validity Index (CVI) and the Scale-level Content Validity Index (S-CVI) were utilized.
Findings: The Content Validity Index (CVI) indicated the comprehensiveness of judgments regarding the validity or feasibility of the final model or instrument. As the minimum acceptable value for CVI is 0.79, the results showed that this value exceeded 0.79 for all criteria of the model. Therefore, it can be concluded that the proposed model has appropriate content validity.
Conclusion: The results suggest that a combination of intelligence tests, paper-based assessments, interviews, observations, and other evaluation methods, along with consideration of influential factors such as family, peers, and the school environment, can significantly enhance the academic guidance process. Implementing this model in schools could improve the accuracy of field-of-study selection and consequently increase students' educational and career satisfaction.
