Impacto en la Producción Científica de un Programa Experiencial de Preparación para la Investigación Dirigido a Docentes Universitarios

Abstract

Changes in scientific production in a group of university professors after participating in a Preparation for Research Program are analyzed. Between April and September 2017, a quantitative, descriptive and quasiexperimental study was carried out at universities belonging to zone 3 of Ecuador. Several measures were taken: a pretest before the program was implemented, a postest (1) just at the end of the first cut of the training activity and a postest (2) six months after the program was started, applying the same questionnaire to both groups. Among the most relevant results was found that while in the control group there were no changes, the experimental group increased the production of papers, scientific review papers, original papers and articles published in indexed journals significantly in posttest(1).
