A Review of Registered Works for the Academic obtaining Rank of Teaching Assistant in Higher Education Institutions of Afghanistan in 1398

Research

Abstract

This research employs an analytical-statistical approach. Our fundamental objective in the present study is to demonstrate the extent of the use of research, authorship, and translation processes within the academic system of Afghanistan. The findings indicate that the year 1398 saw the highest number of registered topics for research, authorship, and translation compared to previous years, aimed at obtaining the rank of Professor. Notably, there is an observable difference of approximately 45% between the years 1397 and the preceding year. This significant relative increase is due to the increased pressure from the Ministry of Higher Education in recent years regarding the attainment of academic rankings in higher education institutions. Therefore, the focus on achieving academic ranking in these institutions has become a priority. Although the number of research, authored, and translated works remains modest, it represents a significant and valuable step towards strengthening the materials and resources for research within the country's academic system. The primary question addressed is how to initiate the processes of research, authorship, and translation in higher education institutions in Afghanistan, utilizing the works and research of other nations to achieve academic rank. As observed, the trend of research, authorship, and translation in 1398 has been unprecedented in Afghanistan's higher education institutions compared to the 1990s.
