چکیده

این پژوهش با دغدغه قابل تأملِ ایجاد رابطه اثربخش میان پژوهش با نیازهای جامعه و صنعت در حوزه‌ علوم انسانی و اجتماعی انجام شد. هدف پژوهش توسعه الگویی برای سنجش سطح آمادگی پژوهش‌های علوم انسانی و اجتماعی جهت کاربردی شدن است و منطق آن ملهم از مفهوم شناخته شده سطح آمادگی فناوری است. گردآوری داده‌ها از طریق مصاحبه‌های نیمه‌ساخت یافته با 27 نفر از رؤسای دانشگاه‌ها، پژوهشگاه‌ها، متخصصان و سیاستگذاران حوزه علوم، تحقیقات و فناوری انجام شد. گردآوری داده‌ها تا حد اشباع نظری ادامه یافت و تحلیل داده‌ها به روش تحلیل تم انجام شد. از میان رویکردهای چهارگانه مطرح شده در قالب نسبتِ پژوهش‌های علوم انسانی و اجتماعی با مفهوم سطح آمادگی فناوری، رویکرد چهارم یعنی رویکرد جایگزینی مدنظر قرار گرفت. بر این اساس، به جای سطوح 9‌گانه آمادگی فناوری که سطح بلوغ یک فناوری برای ورود به عرصه کاربرد را نشان می‌دهند، دو معیار توانمندسازی و نتایج به عنوان تم‌های اصلی جایگزین شدند. بر اساس الگوی توسعه‌یافته، آموزش، پژوهش، اشاعه و ترویج به عنوان توانمندسازها و نتایج اقتصادی، اجتماعی- فرهنگی و حاکمیتی به مثابه نتایج در نظر گرفته شدند. بر اساس دیدگاه سیستمی این الگو، توانمندسازها می‌توانند از طریق بهبود فرایندها و ظرفیت‏ها، به طور ضمنی زمینه‏ساز تحقق دستاوردها و نتایج کاربردی پژوهش‌های علوم انسانی و اجتماعی باشند..

چکیده [English]

This research was carried out with the serious concern of creating an effective relationship between research and the needs of society and industry in the field of humanities and social sciences. The research aims to develop a model to measure the readiness level of humanities and social science research to be applied. The logic of this model is inspired by the well-known Technology Readiness Level (TRL) concept. Data collection was done through semi-structured interviews with 27 deans of universities and research institutes, experts, and policymakers in the field of science, research and technology. The data collection process continued until reaching theoretical saturation and data analysis was done by thematic analysis method. Among the four approaches proposed in the field of relationship between humanities and social science research with the concept of technology readiness level, (TRL), the fourth approach, i.e., the replacement approach, was considered. Further, instead of Technology Readiness levels that show the maturity level of a technology to enter the field of application, two criteria of enablers and results were replaced as the main themes of the model. Based on the developed model, education, research, dissemination, and promotion were considered enablers; and economic, socio-cultural and governance results were considered as results. Based on the system view of this model, enablers of humanities and social science research can implicitly be the foundation for the realization of practical achievements and results of humanities and social science research through improving processes and capacities.
