INTEGRATIVE REVIEW ON EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE TRAINING OF SCIENTISTS

ABSTRACT:

The training of scientists is a long-term social investment that contributes to society through the construction of knowledge that can be applied to urgent societal issues. Training scientists requires the mobilization of various chains of social actors. Nevertheless, scientific literature presents numerous reports of experiences from around the world at different institutions that contribute to the development and discussion of scientist training. This study aims to identify and understand the main strategies adopted for training scientists found in the scientific literature. An integrative literature review was conducted between 2003 and 2022, focusing on scientist training, in order to identify and understand the reported experiences of scientist formation. As a result, experiences of interdisciplinary training, methodological capacity-building, internationalization of training, educational management activities, and the incorporation of scientific dissemination into the curriculum are identified as beneficial training practices for aspiring scientists.
