The statistical population was 4269 primary school teachers of Kermanshah city in the academic year of 1402-1401, of which 352 were selected using the accessible method.

The validity of the questionnaires was checked and confirmed by the supervisors and advisors, and their reliability was measured using Cronbach's alpha. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS and PLS software.

Also, research capabilities had an indirect, positive and significant effect on professional development with the mediating role of research motivation (p=0.000, β=0.178) and research capabilities on professional development with the mediating role of research self-efficacy (p=0.044, β=0.234).
