Abstract

Aim: Actions in education will lead to achieving the desired goal when they are properly planned. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the challenges facing Article 28 teachers and find solutions to these challenges based on their lived experiences in order to transform educational planning for them.
Methodology: The research approach was qualitative and the research strategy was phenomenological, of the 4-stage type of Van Manen. A researcher-made structured interview tool was used to collect data. The research field included the ninth series of skilled teachers in Kurdistan Province in the academic year 1402-1403, totaling 150 people based on the data saturation criterion, 27 people were selected.
Results: The findings were obtained in two steps: The first step included the challenges facing Article 28 In this regard, 5 overarching themes, 15 organizing themes, and 117 basic themes were obtained. The organizing themes are related to evaluation challenges, management challenges, teacher expertise and classroom management, induction course challenges, administrative challenges, challenges related to holding in-service courses, communication with parents and students, and challenges related to school facilities and educational equipment In the second step, Article 28 teachers' solutions to overcome the challenges were outlined. The findings of this step included 5 overarching themes, 13 organizing themes, and 109 basic themes. The organizing themes include: solutions in the field of teaching methods and tools, empowering teachers, solutions in the field of evaluation, providing quality to university infrastructure, solutions related to administrative affairs, providing quality to in-service courses, effective communication with parents and students, and equipping schools with all educational facilities.
Conclusions and suggestions: The findings indicate that the teachers of Article 28 are not prepared for education and the low quality of the Podman course which has caused fear and anxiety in new teachers and lowering the quality of teaching and learning. In this regard, empowering teachers and the efforts of educational system employees play a significant role in the dynamics and development of the educational system. Therefore, considering the challenges facing Article 28 teachers, it is suggested that their current educational planning be transformed based on the findings.
