A Commercialization Model of Research in the Field of Educational Sciences

The present study aimed to prepare a model to enable commercialization of educational science research. The study was an applied research with a mixed approach and the sampling method was also purposive sampling according to the research method. For this reason, after the semi-structured interview with 16 expert’s interviewees, data were collected, coded and analyzed simultaneously. In the quantitative part, the questionnaire was distributed among educational and economical students and practitioners; according to Morgan table, statistical sampole was 152 out of which 260 participants were selected by simple random sampling. The data collection tool was in-depth interviews with experts and 46 questionnaires in qualitative and in quantitative sections, respectively. In addition, LISREL software was used for data analysis and also structural equation modeling (SEM) technique with LISREL software was used for confirmatory factor analysis and presenting the research model. According to the coefficient of variables and prioritizing the factors influenced the commercialization of research in the field of educationit indicated the highest priority was related to the component of structural strategies with an impact factor of 0.95 and the law, management and environmental guidelines with an impact factor 0.9, 0.86 and 0.58, priorities, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that the rules of law were one of the influencing factors on the commercialization of research in the field of educational sciences.
