Background and purpose: The present study was conducted with the aim of identifying methods of validating methods of resources among sports science students of Birjand University.
Method: The current research was conducted with the grounded theory method and with a qualitative approach. The statistical population of the research included sports students of Birjand University and included 67 people. Data collection was done with the help of semi-structured interview. The process of conducting interviews continued until the saturation point was reached. From the 16th to the 20th interview, the obtained data were duplicated, so the researchers stopped the data collection. The simultaneous analysis of the collected data was done using coding with the help of MAX QDA version 2020 software. To determine the validity of the research, the member review method was used, and for this purpose, after the initial coding, the codes and categories were sent to at least 10 interviewees and were approved by them. In the current research, the constructionist approach is based on Grounded Theory, so the paradigm model was not presented.
Findings: : In the axial coding of the data, a total of 6 main challenges related to the validation methods of resources of sports students present in the interviews were found, such as lack of familiarity with investigating research violations, lack of familiarity with plagiarism, lack of familiarity with plagiarism software, etc. Also, 15 core codes related to the second research question, how to accredit sports students, were obtained.
Conclusion: teaching the method of validation of the resources is felt by sports students present in the research, and their training can reduce the challenges of validation of the resources among students and improve the method of validation of their resources.
