Abstract

Objective: The primary purpose of the present study was to compare the professional competencies of teachers who graduated from Farhangian University with those of Madeh 28.
Methods: It is quantitatively applied research designed to compare the knowledge of two groups of teachers. The statistical population included all the teachers who graduated with a Bachelor's degree from Farhangian University and those of Medeh 28 between 2015 - 2019. A total of 440 graduated teachers were sampled from the primary education, English language, mathematics education, social sciences, and counseling fields of study using the multi-stage sampling method. A set of performance-based tests were developed to collect the data. Descriptive statistical measures and t-Test were employed to analyze the data.
Results: The findings indicated that the highest and the lowest average performance belonged to the primary education and mathematics education teachers who graduated from Farhangian University, respectively. A significant difference was found between the performance of the two groups of teachers in content knowledge (CK), technological knowledge (TK), and pedagogical knowledge (PK), and the differences in TK and PK are in favor of those of Bachlo's degree graduated from Farhangian University. However, the significant difference in CK was in favor of Madeh 28 teachers.  
Conclusion: Recruiting teachers’ method is one of many factors that impact teacher qualification. The Bachelor's degree teachers who graduated from Frhangian University performed higher in PK and TK than those of Madeh 28. In contrast, Madeh 28 teachers performed better in CK than the other group.
