This study was designed to evaluate the perception of students and interns toward research.
The study was conducted in January 2014. Participants of the study were fourth, fifth, and 6 year students and interns. A questionnaire comprised thirteen questions was distributed to evaluate students' and interns' perception about the importance of research in their learning.
The results showed that interns and 6 year students were more interested in research as compared to their junior counterparts as they realized the importance of research in their educational growth. This was reflected by the number of interns who completed the questionnaire.
Dental students realized the importance of research in the education, but it was found that the proportion of students who did research as part of their course was very low. Students should be actively engaged in research, which can be achieved by introducing research as a compulsory component of their course.
本研究旨在评估学生和实习生对研究的认知。
该研究于2014年1月进行。研究参与者为四年级、五年级、六年级学生及实习生。发放了一份包含13个问题的问卷,以评估学生和实习生对研究在其学习中的重要性的认知。
结果显示,与低年级同学相比,实习生和六年级学生对研究更感兴趣,因为他们意识到研究在其教育成长中的重要性。这从完成问卷的实习生数量上得到了体现。
牙科学生意识到研究在教育中的重要性,但发现将研究作为课程一部分的学生比例非常低。学生应积极参与研究,这可通过将研究作为课程的必修部分来实现。
