This study aimed to uncover the most important obstacles to the application of researchers, faculty members in the College of Education at King Saud University, to qualitative research in the educational field. It also aimed to uncover statistically significant differences, if any, in the response of the sample due to the variables of sex and academic rank. To achieve the objectives of this study, the descriptive and analytical approach was used by applying the questionnaire to 130 faculty members of the researchers at the rank of professor, associate professor, and assistant professor, in each of the educational departments: educational policies, educational administration, special education, and psychology. The results showed that the most important obstacles that got to the sample response to a very large extent are: psychological, training, skill, and field, and they showed statistically significant differences in the response of the sample in favor of males and those with a lower academic rank. Based on the results, the study presented a set of recommendations and made several proposals. (Published abstract)
