Obstacles of Educational Research in Gaza Universities as Perceived by
the Faculty Members and Suggestions to Improve it
Abstract: This study aimed to know the obstacles of educational research in
Gaza universities. To achieve this aim, the researcher designed a
questionnaire which was distributed to a random sample of (40) faculty
members in Gaza universities in the three specializations (foundation
discipline, curricula and teaching methods and psychology). The study
reached to several results, the most important of them are:
1 - In descending order of obstacles of educational research in Gaza
universities as perceived by the faculty members was as follows: (obstacles
related to the publishing and distribution, followed by physical and moral
obstacles, then the domain of professional growth associated with
educational research to the faculty member, and obstacles related to
management, and after obstacles of working conditions, finally, obstacles of
sources and information for educational research).
-2-
2 - There is no difference in the estimates of the faculty members to the
obstacles of educational research in different scientific qualification (PhD,
MA) in the total degree of the questionnaire and its domains except the
domain of the physical and moral obstacles for the favor of a doctorate.
3 - There was no difference in the estimates of faculty members to the
obstacles of educational research in different specialization (foundation
discipline, curricula and teaching methods and psychology).
The study ends by a number of recommendations to avoid obstacles of
educational research, including: there is a need for attention to publish
educational research, a provision of specialized scientific journals to assist
in this, and a focus on the financing of educational research to contribute to
the development.
