Abstract

One of the significant functions of universities and academic institutions is to generate new knowledge and the rapid comprehension and application of this knowledge through research activities. Yet, most of the country's educational institutions have not fulfilled this function. The current study was conducted to discover the challenges and barriers facing researchers at Kabul University. This applied descriptive research was carried out by using a questionnaire.  The questionnaire was given to faculties of Kabul University, and finally, 80 responded. Data were analyzed using the SPSS program, and descriptive scales and correlation coefficient statistics were calculated. Financial, family, personal obstacles and challenges, equipment and facilities, legal and administrative were considered major challenges, respectively, and there was a strong to moderate correlation between all these components (p<0.05). In order to overcome these challenges, it is suggested that Kabul University be changed to a research university, that the expenses of scientific research should be included in the national budget, and special material and spiritual benefits should be considered for researchers.
