In recent years, mixed methods research has gained popularity in doctoral theses, particularly in educational administration and higher education. This study delved into the approach, design, and research methodologies employed in these theses. By thoroughly analyzing the abstracts and third chapters of 85 doctoral theses, the research aimed to elucidate the prevailing trends in mixed methods research within the realm of education. The findings of this study reveal that a significant majority, 73%, of the examined doctoral theses aimed at developing patterns or models. Furthermore, 63% of the studies adhered to a sequential exploratory mixed methods approach during their exploration. Moreover, the qualitative phase of the majority (60%) of the research papers utilized grounded theory as a methodological framework. Concerning the quantitative phase, 60% of the studies relied on multiple correlation analysis. These findings not only provide valuable insights for instructing both quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research methodologies in doctoral programs but also underscore the significance of fostering innovation in research designs within the domain of behavioral sciences. Particularly noteworthy is the emphasis on the emergence of pattern development as a burgeoning focal point within doctoral studies.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the reflective leadership assessment instruments at schools. Literature review suggests, although reflective learning is not new knowledge, reflective leadership is a novel approach at school management and leadership, and in few studies in this field have not established valid tools for revealing this concept at schools. Extensive research literature review, the dimensions and statements of the principals’ reflective leadership scale were stablished based on Castelli’s (2012) reflective leadership model, and the data was compiled with the participation of 327 secondary teachers. Along with the face and content validity assessment of the itemsand dimensions by educational management practitioners, teachers and applying their views, participants' comments on the ambiguity, repetition, and relationship of the statements with the concepts and dimensions through the implementation of the scale in pilot study were applied. Results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis show that 29 items are in five factors: sense of safeness, openness, purpose, challenging beliefs and feedback provide reflective leadership measurement tools. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was calculated for each factor and the total reliabilityy was estimated 0.97. This study is a pioneer research in measuring principals’ reflective leadership at schools. Reflective leadership is a fundamental factor in the positivist paradigm shift to interpretation at Iranian schools. Research findings for education practitioner will be useful in assessing and deploying reflective leadership at schools.

هدف پژوهش حاضر ، سنجش روایی و پایایی مقیاس رضایت از کیفیت خدمات سفرهای هوایی در کل کشور بود. جامعه آماری پژوهش، کلیه مسافران خطوط هوایی داخلی در کل کشور بودند. با استفاده از روش نمونهگیری خوشهای چندمرحلهای از میان فرودگاههای کشور، چهار فرودگاه (مهرآباد تهران، اصفهان، شیراز و مشهد) به شیوۀ هدفمند و 20 زوج شهر بر اساس میزان تعدد پروازها و حجم مسافر جابجا شده انتخاب شد. اجرای مقدماتی و نهایی در بازه زمانی تابستان و اوایل پاییز سال 1389 بوده و تعداد 2194 پرسشنامه معتبر تکمیل شده است. پرسشنامه اولیه (60 سؤالی) بر اساس 5 عامل مدل سروکوال (عوامل فیزیکی، پاسخگو بودن، همدلی، اطمینان خاطر و قابلیت اعتماد) تدوین شد؛ پس از اجرای مقدماتی و با استفاده از نرمافزارهای تحلیل سؤال (Multilog و Statistica) در رویکرد IRT و نتایج تحلیل عاملی تأییدی مرتبه اول و دوم، دادهها تحلیل و ابزار اندازهگیری رضایت از کیفیت خدمات سفرهای هوایی رواسازی شد.
