Identification of obstacles and solutions to the development of scientific capital in the academic field: From the point of view of Shahid Beheshti University actors

In today's world, scientific development and progress is the basis for advancing knowledge, research and technology of elites, researchers and scientific activists; In fact, the concept and process of scientific development includes discovering and inventing new knowledge, applied research, providing innovative solutions for complex problems and increasing understanding of real environment phenomena; In other words, such development is no longer one-dimensional and is not solely focused on economic growth; Rather, the development and progress of science is dependent on several factors such as the development of science discourse, the development of knowledge-based economy, and the development of scientific capital along with material capital. In this regard, in the current research, it has been tried to examine the obstacles and solutions to the development of scientific capital as a fundamental factor in the scientific development of the country's higher education system from the perspective of academic activists; For this purpose, by applying Fairclough's critical discourse analysis method, 56 activists who had lived experience in Shahid Beheshti University and had reliable information about the research topic were interviewed; The sampling method was purposeful. The findings of the research showed that according to the activists of Shahid Beheshti University, "structural-management barriers", "cultural barriers" and "social and communication barriers" are the factors preventing the development of scientific capital and "playing the role of Efficient in scientific collaborations and communication", "attention to the position and role of scientific capital in the university" and "continuous interaction between the structures and functions of the university to evaluate educational and research activities" were identified as strategies for the development of scientific capital in the academic field.
