Abstract

The commercialization of research has expanded in recent decades as a new approach to academic research and natural science. The goal of present study is explaining the Factors Affecting the Commercialization of Research in Educational Sciences. The research approach used the kind of qualitative methodology by Content analysis, in this research, interviews using the conceptual linkage of common features between open source code, combined concepts and concepts or concepts have been identified. The sampling method used in this research, it is a qualitative-purposeful sampling And using the theoretical saturation index 16 educational science researchers were interviewed as a sample of the research community. Their attitude and attitude towards the challenges and challenges facing the commercialization of educational science research were examined. Data analysis and conclusions from the research findings were used through content analysis. Then the researcher, the opinions of experts and educated people, Obtained work experience and experiences related to the research topic through semi-structured interviews this led to the development of new components for commercialization in the field of education. The commercialization approach of research for the educational sciences can to achieve scientific competence, strengthen the scientific nature and increase understanding of public awareness as a feedback process is the result of commercializing research it promotes academic excellence in the educational sciences, and contributes to its functioning, application and effectiveness in society.
