To provide relevant insight into the current degree of usage of the research potential of students of biomedical sciences in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The chosen data collection method was online surveying via Google search engine. The target group were students of biomedical sciences in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The surveying was conducted in July 2019, and responses were subjected to descriptive statistics.
Although the majority of participants claimed that they were familiar with the seminar and scientific papers writing methodology and that the related course is available in their faculty's curriculum, the quality of such courses may be questioned as the majority of study participants self-reported that they do not possess or did not posses necessary knowledge for writing and publishing a scientific paper. Also, the majority of respondents reported that they have never participated in any scientific research, which questions the involvement of students in scientific research in our country as well. More than half of respondents were actively reading scientific papers, but a third of them did not have that habit. Two-thirds of students reported that they have never attended any scientific event where they could learn more about the scientific research methods. Inadequate awareness of the importance of research, lack of students' interest in making a research, and lack of knowledge were characterized as main obstacles in conducting scientific research according to survey responses.
Information obtained through research indicate that the student potential in scientific research in Bosnia and Herzegovina has not been used in its maximal capacity, requiring several steps to be taken towards its improvement.
深入了解波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那生物医学科学专业学生研究潜力的当前利用程度。
所选的数据收集方法是通过谷歌搜索引擎进行在线调查。目标群体是波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那生物医学科学专业的学生。调查于2019年7月进行,对回复进行描述性统计分析。
尽管大多数参与者声称他们熟悉研讨会和科学论文写作方法,且相关课程在其所在学院的课程设置中也有,但此类课程的质量可能受到质疑,因为大多数参与调查的学生自我报告称他们不具备或未曾具备撰写和发表科学论文所需的知识。此外,大多数受访者表示他们从未参与过任何科学研究,这也对我国学生参与科学研究的情况提出了疑问。超过一半的受访者积极阅读科学论文,但其中三分之一没有这个习惯。三分之二的学生表示他们从未参加过任何能让他们更多了解科学研究方法的科学活动。根据调查回复,对研究重要性的认识不足、学生对开展研究缺乏兴趣以及知识欠缺被视为开展科学研究的主要障碍。
通过研究获得的信息表明,波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那学生的科研潜力尚未得到最大程度的利用,需要采取若干措施加以改进。
