The present study aimed to analyze the qualitative content of the Supreme Leader's statements on scientific authority in the field of science and technology, during the period of 2005 to 2003. This study was performed using the qualitative content analysis method with an inductive approach and based on the paradigms of Heim and Lundman (2004). The data were selected from 30 selected lectures out of 74 existing lectures using purposive sampling and were categorized and analyzed through open coding. The results were categorized into eleven main themes including developing youth talents in the path of scientific progress, activating and developing the country's scientific capacities, expanding useful and problem-oriented knowledge, targeted guidance of research and research policy-making, responding to the country's basic needs and issues through science, creating scientific wealth and strengthening the knowledge-based economy, creating a scientific platform for the country's qualitative development, promoting socially influential science, transforming and promoting the humanities based on Islamic principles, achieving scientific excellence at the global level and international competition, and establishing a new Islamic civilization based on science and technology. Each of these themes includes numerous subcategories that collectively reflect the intellectual and strategic system of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution in order to realize the scientific authority of the Islamic Republic of Iran. |
