Pathology of content production with an oral history approach

The aim of this study is investigated the harms on the production of science with the approach of oral history from the perspective of experts in the field of oral history.

 The present study was conducted using Delphi method using a researcher-made questionnaire. The statistical population includes 30 experts in the field of oral history who were selected by snowball sampling method, but only 17 people agreed to cooperate.

The analysis of the obtained data indicates that the lack of an academic position in the field of oral history in society, the lack of a purposeful principle on how to ask questions for information on oral history, the involvement of personal reasoning in interviews, the cost and time consuming nature of this process are among the most important challenges in producing science with an oral history approach from the point of view of experts in this field. These challenges and disadvantages cause damage in this area, such as the lack of uniformity in the work of oral historians, which leads to the loss of national capital, manpower time. Losing the opportunity to collect information from subjects due to old age; collecting incomplete or distorted data
