چکیده

هدف: مرور و نقد تاریخی سیر پژوهش کیفی در علم اطلاعات و دانش‌شناسی.
روش/ رویکرد پژوهش: با مرور متون پیشین، نقدی تاریخی بر روند پژوهش کیفی در علم اطلاعات و دانش‌شناسی انجام شد.
یافته‌ها: چندین دهه است که در علم اطلاعات و دانش‌شناسی بر فنون کمّی در نقش بهترین و گاه تنها فن مناسب برای پژوهش تأکید شده است. مرور تاریخی روند پژوهش کیفی در این رشته نیز حاکی از ضعف پژوهش کیفی بوده است و نشان می‌دهد رویکرد اثبات‌گرایی همچنان در پژوهش‌های علم اطلاعات و دانش‌شناسی یکّه‌تازی می‌کند. از این رو، تأکید بر ابزار و غفلت از نظریه‌سازی در این رشته آشکار است.
نتیجه‌گیری: جا دارد در بیان مسائل پژوهشی علم اطلاعات و دانش‌شناسی به موضوعاتی توجه شود که به بسط ابعاد نظری رشته کمک می‌کنند.

Historical Review of Qualitative Research in Knowledge and Information Science

نویسنده [English]

  • H. Mokhtari
چکیده [English]

Purpose: Historically reviewing and criticizing the trend of qualitative research in the field of knowledge and information science (KIS).
Methodology: Literature review.
Results: Quantitative research techniques have been focused for many decades as the best and sometimes the only appropriate methodology in KIS. The historical review of the field shows the weakness of qualitative research approaches and reveals that positivistic approach is still at work. Therefore, focus on instrumentation and ignorance of theory-building is seen in the field.
Conclusion: It is suggested that subjects that help in expansion of theory-building are considered when stating research problems.
