Scientific education and knowledge of scientific research methodology in master's students

Abstract

This research called “scientific education and knowledge of scientific research methodology in master's students”, it has like general objective to establish the relationship between scientific teaching and knowledge of Methodology of Scientific Research in Master's students. The sample was 94 students using stratified probabilistic sampling whom were given the two questionnaires with 35 items each to measure the response of scientific teaching with its five dimensions: motivation, use of audiovisual aids, application of techniques, realization of experiences (workshops) and practices (formulation of the project). For the descriptive data, statistical tables were used specifying quantities and frequencies per the obtained results, in order to test the hypothesis, we used the Spearman Rho correlation coefficient test. From the result analysis, the following conclusion was reached: the dimensions of the knowledge variable methodology of scientific research such as: research project and implementation of that project, it was evidenced that there is a moderate direct relationship with the scientific teaching of 0.516 and the level of significance was 0.000 (p <0.05) While the development dimension of the research project was the one that had the least correlation during the research process.
