The present study seeks to investigate the concept of scholarship from the viewpoint of faculty members in different disciplines. To this end, a consequential mixed approach was applied. The first part of the study was conducted with exploratory purposes, a phenomenological method and interview with 30 faculty members who taught and conducted research in different fields of science. Subsequently, in order to generalize the results, the research was continued using a descriptive survey method with a sample of 120 faculty members. Data gathering tools were semi-structured interview and a researcher-made questionnaire based on the results of the qualitative section. The results of the qualitative section demonstrated that the experience of faculty members could be categorized into five patterns: research as professional responsibility, artwork, journey to unknowns, puzzle and judgment. The researchers also managed to extract five patterns from quantitative data, which were almost equivalent to qualitative concepts: discovery of reality, information gathering, problem solving, re-exploration and misconception of research. The findings of the quantitative section also indicated that the type of faculty and consequently, the specialized field of faculty members cannot make a significant difference in the average of most of the main factors of faculty members’ perception of the concept of research. Patterns and factors taken from the concept of scholarship provide a way to understand problems or failures in the lack of course and research completion due to the incompatibility of the concepts and perceptions of professors and student.

native science and its relation to religious science in recent decades has been the focus of Muslim scholars. According to some readings of native science, the pursuit of wisdom to science, all indigenous and historic. This approach usually taken as relativism and pluralism knowledge and in conflict with the principles of Islamic epistemology. Contrary to popular perception, relativism is not a unified whole and have varieties. Kachooyan is one of the scholars of Islamic methodology of human knowledge, which explain the historical nature of human and assert pluralism in humanities. This is reason to the accusation of radical relativism from some alternative streams in religious knowledge. The authors have tried to carefully distinguish between What is known as relativism, wise relativism and not acceptable relativism, and by explaining the views of the community of this Muslim thinker, to show that his ideas about native science, has no epistemological objections of fails types of relativism.

Creative and cultural industries are among the most rapidly growing sectors at global level. It is expected that this sector will play a greater role in the world economy. Increasing growth of these industries, will bring about impacts and outcomes other than economic consequences, which will be of more importance at firm level. Change of the society's identity, lifestyle, and approach to national independence, etc. can be among the impacts of creative industries. Therefore, the government should monitor the impacts and outcomes of creative industries through establishing a particular mechanism. The present research has presented a monitoring system of "creative industries impacts" which matches the Iran’ s value system by using a grounded theory method and interviews with experts, and applying the standardized framework of OECD. Through this, three major categories including monitoring of the political impacts of creative industries, impacts on national development and impacts on identity, and also fifteen central concepts were identified under these categories. Finally, validation of the research findings was carried out by utilizing a Fuzzy Delphi method.
