Uso del conocimiento científico en académicos de una institución de educación superior

Abstract

Scientific training in higher education institutions is essential to promote scientific research among its students. The objective of the present work was to verify the differences in the use of scientific knowledge by gender, academic degree and teaching experience and to look for its possible relationship between variables. A descriptive correlational study was carried out on 75 academics (45 women and 30 men). A questionnaire measuring the use of UCC scientific knowledge was applied (11 questions). The study showed that professional experience is decisive at the UCC in a regional university, so the results suggest that higher education institutions should link researchers to strengthen the scientific literacy of undergraduate students.
