Providing a model leadership and managing change in the education system with a data foundation approach

Leadership and management in the formal and public education system as a mission-oriented activity is based on the principles, mission, goals and missions of the formal and public education system. The purpose of this study is to provide a model of leadership and managing change with a data foundation approach in the Iranian education system. The research method is mixed. Qualitative stage of inductive method and strategy of data foundation and Delphi fuzzy data theorizing and in quantitative stage, descriptive-survey type, fuzzy gap analysis strategy was used. Data collection is theoretically sufficient. Simultaneous coding and data chain coding was performed using Maxqda 18 software in 129 documents and in-depth interviews with 11 experts, which reached theoretical adequacy with 119 categories. The initial pattern of axial coding was provided to 12 experts from Farhangian University, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Payame Noor and Azad, until the final pattern was determined by fuzzy Delphi method. A total of 80 categories remained in the final axial coding pattern. Theoretical and selective coding of theoretical ideas was obtained through writing techniques from the relationships between the categories in the central coding model. By de-fuzzy and fuzzy gap analysis, the desired and existing status of the components was expressed and using the importance/ performance matrix, it was determined that there is no indifference and loss domain and all indicators are important and were placed in two areas of acceptance and weakness
