Resumen

The purpose of this study was to assess the views of first-year university students in the northern macroregion of Peru on scientific research and to identify the ways in which these perspectives are influenced by demographic elements and specific dimensions related to research. For this purpose, a technique based on the sociodemographic study of data from 384 university students was used. Participants completed questionnaires designed to gauge their views on research in various aspects, such as writing scientific papers, being involved in research and being involved in initiatives undertaken by universities to promote research. Trends and correlations among variables were statistically significant. Positive attitudes toward research were more prevalent among women, students from private universities, and those under 30 years old. However, the research acts and parameters of universities were viewed with greater skepticism and ambivalence. It is necessary to adopt specific educational measures to foster a strong research culture, as student attitudes toward research are influenced by a mix of sociodemographic characteristics and academic experiences.
