On the other hand, parents are children's first teachers, and the importance of their participation and empowerment in educational courses is not hidden from any education experts and policymakers.

However, in the quantitative phase, a descriptive study of the developmental-applied type was designed and conducted. The statistical population in the qualitative phase include all specialists in family psychology and psychometrics in Zanjan province; The sample consisted of 12 experts who were selected using available sampling method until theoretical saturation was reached. The statistical population in the quantitative section consisted of all parents of students in the Zanjan province in the academic year 2020-2021. The sample consisted of 2217 parents of students who were selected by stratified random sampling method. The collected data were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis using SPSS.26 and AMOS.24 software.
Results: The results of the face and content validity of the questionnaire were confirmed qualitatively and quantitatively. Also, the results of exploratory factor analysis were extracted and named on the items of this questionnaire using the principal component method, five factors named «personal and family facilitators», «school-related facilitators», «facilitators related to the teacher and the content of the courses», «parents' preferences and needs», and «parents' external motivations» were extracted and named. The consistency of the questionnaire using Cronbach's alpha method for each of the factors was higher than 0.60. The findings of confirmatory factor analysis also showed that the Parental Participation Facilitator Questionnaire is relevant to the data (p< 0.001).
Conclusion: The results of this research showed that the mentioned questionnaire can be used by researchers in the field of family and education as a valid and reliable instrument.
