Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the teachers barriers in improving the basic psychological needs of high school students. In this study, using a multi-explanatory blend methodology, an attempt was made to understand the barriers. Accordingly, a questionnaire on the basic psychological needs of students at school was used to determine the students psychological needs (Tian & et al., 2014). In the qualitative section, samples were selected based on simple random sampling method among teachers. In a quantitative section, 150 students responded using a simple random sampling questionnaire. In qualitative section, 15 teachers were selected from the schools. The results showed that the level of satisfaction of basic psychological needs in male and female students is relatively low. In addition, the results of the interviews showed that the culture and context of the school and the organization, lack of attention to the inner motivation of the students, inadequate teachers 'knowledge about the needs and ambiguity of the role in this field and inadequate teachers' motivation were the most important deterrent factors.
