Introduction

The basis of the power of life in today's world comes back to the extent of having knowledge. Today, the majority of the directions of the world are towards the production and development of science and technology, and the developed countries are transitioning from industrial society to societies that are called information society or scientific society, and the weapon of science has become a strategic weapon in these countries. Today, scientific development is an example of the country's national authority and a platform for development in all matters. Raising the awareness and knowledge of the society in all fields requires scientific development more than ever, and in order to realize scientific development, the field of science production must be provided. Today, the role of producing science and conducting research has gone beyond an increasing factor of well-being and has become the only way to remain in the field of life and an effective presence in the busy world of technology and progress. Research and production of science is one of the basic needs of every university. Examining the development policies and programs of industrialized countries is indicative of the fact that these countries are aware of the importance and status of science and technology and have considered this era as the center of their economic, social, political and cultural development (Nowrouzzadeh, 2018). Thus, the future of countries and their development is completely related to the production of science, its expansion and benefit, and the superiority of countries over each other depends on science, its results and applications. It can be admitted without a doubt that the independence and development of any country depends on its scientific and technological independence. The production of science, which is itself a result of independence, will create a prosperous and knowledge-oriented economy. Today, the production of knowledge and the creation of the necessary skills to exploit it is a fundamental and determining goal for all countries. Therefore, like other countries, Iran considers itself to be in need of progress in the field of science and technology. (same source) 1-1 statement of the problem Research, along with educational activities, is one of the important and expected functions of university faculty members. Today, research is the most important indicator of the development of societies to reach a knowledge-oriented society and is a way to create technology, development, progress and increase production capacity. Therefore, respecting the position of researchers, identifying and proposing their problems to improve the level of research is considered as one of the requirements (Amiri, 2011). What factors cause the stagnation of research activities in our universities. Various factors prevent the realization of this important matter, among the factors preventing research in universities, including Farhangian University, we can mention the following: lack of allocation of sufficient funds for research, the existence of various intellectual challenges and concerns to cover research costs, insufficient familiarity with research methods, doubt in the quality of information gathering and incoherence in the structure and research findings, difficulty in accessing resources, inattention or lack of attention to real and current needs, lack of books and The required specialized scientific journals, the difficulty of using foreign researches due to the lack of familiarity with the English language (same source)

In this research, the main issue is: What factors do the members of the university faculty consider as an essential axis in research activities as obstacles to effective research? Research and research in our country has little fruit, it is almost accepted by scientific units, researchers, researchers and even centers that want to benefit from these researches. Since the range of influence and influence of research activities and scientific researches is relevant at the national level, it seems that in order to institutionalize research, it is necessary to first identify the roots and factors of apathy among researchers, and then by removing the barriers that prevent the practical and effective entry of these people into the research process.The three main functions of today's academic institutions or higher education system, which UNESCO also emphasizes, are:

Production of knowledge (or research)

Transfer of knowledge (or education)

Dissemination and dissemination of knowledge (or services)

The optimal performance of each of these tasks and functions requires scientific research. The supply of specialized services to the society will only be through the scientific understanding of the problems of that society and the presentation of successful scientific solutions. It will not be possible to review the research without a detailed evaluation of this factor. Currently, for various reasons, most of the professors are more inclined towards education and consider education as primary research in their activities. (Alemdari Vafshon, 2011).

Farhangian University in the country's higher education family has a unique mission of training teachers. Micro, macro and macro researches serve the main purpose of the university, which is to create opportunities and fields for building the character of future teachers. This university is the most prominent human-building and progressive scientific organization in which the need to pay attention to research and conducting research, especially applied and developmental research, is felt. Making the university research-oriented is considered the first prerequisite for scientific success in the global and international arenas. It seems that examining the obstacles to research in the university is the main, most important, and of course the first step in making it research-oriented.

Knowing the obstacles to research can facilitate the problem-solving process by improving the communication between researchers and users of research results and actually lead to the use of research findings. (Dadkhah and others, 1382).

In this regard, obstacles should be realistically discussed and investigated. Obviously, it will be very useful to analyze research obstacles through scientific elites who are more than any other group related to research and technology. In this regard, university professors are the main group who can use their ability, experience and intelligence in the service of removing obstacles to research and research.
