A students). All of them completed faculty members’ Teaching qualification (Robert et al, 2009), faculty members’ professional competence (Robert et al, 2009), cooperative learning (Moghimi & Ramezani, 2013) and students’ academic achievement (Pace & Kuh, 2000) scales. The data were analyzed by using statistical correlation techniques and path analysis after the validity and reliability of the scales were assessed. Based on the purpose of the study, the following hypothesis was considered and followed up.

Results The findings showed that there is a significant positive relationship between Teaching qualification, professional competence of faculty members, cooperative learning and students’ academic achievement. Teaching qualification of faculty members has an indirect and significant effect on students’ academic achievement with the mediation of cooperative learning, but the direct effect is not significant. professional competence of faculty members has a direct and significant effect on students’ academic achievement but it does not have an indirect and significant impact on students’ academic achievement with the mediation of cooperative learning. Teaching qualification and professional competence of faculty members and cooperative learning explain 18% of variance of students’ academic achievement. Discussion The results of this study indicated the importance of paying attention to the Teaching qualification and professional competence of faculty members and cooperative learning in increasing the students’ academic achievement. The use of question generation techniques in implementation of teaching, assessment of students’ knowledge, insight and skills in accordance with teaching objectives; challenging students in relation to teaching activities; using appropriate evaluation methods and providing proper learning opportunities by faculty members can improve students’ professional achievements. Also, fostering students’ mental achievement by faculty members through supporting students in solving problems associated with the lesson, challenging students’ ideas on educational activities; using different resources to improve educational activity, and students support in order to find suitable educational resources can also be another reason for the findings of this study.
