Abstract

Lifelong learning is an essential prerequisite for the development of societies and organizations. Educational system, which is the provider of human resources as the first and the most important factor of development, needs lifelong learners. Possessing a valid and reliable instrument to measure this characteristic is an important step for planning the related research; therefore, the Since there is no tool for assessing lifelong learning literacy in Iran, the purpose of this study is to validate the Iranian version of the 49-year Li and Tsai Lifelong Learning Literacy Questionnaire. In order to determine the content and face validity the questionnaire was translated and it was given to six faculty members, and after the needed reforms, it was approved. The method of this study is a applied survey method. The statistical population of this study is all secondary school teachers in the city of Birjand with a total of 500 people, 300 of whom were selected as cluster samples. Confirmatory factor analysis indicates that the eight factors pattern fits well with the data.( X2/DF=1/53, CFI= 0/964, NFI= 0/967, RMSEA= 0/06). Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the components was between 0.78 to 0.93 which shows acceptable reliability. Based on these results, it can be said that lifelong learning literacy questionnaire is an appropriate instrument for Iranian Studies.
