PRODUCTION OF SCIENTIFIC articles: AN ANALYSIS OF THE PERCEPTION OF THE STUDENTS OFACADEMIC MASTERS

ABSTRACT:

This research aimed to analyze the perception of 90 students of the Academic Master Program of Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ) from the poles 'Social Demand' and 'Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia from Goiás (IFGO) and Espírito Santo (IFES)', about the processes of producing and submitting scientific articles to journals. Furthermore, we wanted to check the knowledge gained after some training on these processes. It was a qualitative-quantitative study with training workshops and the application of questionnaires to raise students' perceptions. As a training result, we perceived an average knowledge gain of 53.86%, an average of 60.80% for Social Demand, 46.53% for IFGO, and 54.26% for IFES. Regarding the students' initial perception, the average was 23.06% for Social Demand, 36.40% for IFGO, and 29.86% for IFES. As for the final perception, the average was 82.93% for Social Demand, 82.93% for IFGO, and 84.13% for IFES. These numbers reflect the ineffectiveness of institutional actions to teach a research methodology encompassing the processes studied here, showing that the subject is complex and that better planning should be conducted for more effective training.
