“…De estos factores, el sistema de creencias que un estudiante tiene respecto de sí mismo (en este caso, en el contexto académico), de sus habilidades en relación con la investigación y las ideas que tiene sobre la actividad de investigar, se convierten en un factor central y es el punto medular en el proceso de evaluación que realiza. Se puede observar algunas aproximaciones al respecto en Portocarrero y Bielich (2006) y en estudios sobre autoeficacia (Alegre, 2014;Balloo et al, 2016;Chumwichan, & Siriparp, 2016;Lambie et al 2013;Mohamed, & Nordin, 2013;Reyes & Gutiérrez, 2015).…”

“…Así, se ha encontrado evidencia sobre el papel mediador de la autoeficacia en este tipo de actividades (Alegre, 2014;Balloo, Pauli, & Worrell, 2016;Chumwichan, & Siriparp, 2016;Lambie, Hayes, Griffith, Limbert, & Mullen, 2013;Mohamed, & Nordin, 2013;Reyes & Gutiérrez, 2015); procesos motivacionales, sobre todo intrínsecos (Kozlova, & Atamanova, 2013;Rietveldt, & Vera, 2012); expectativas de los resultados de la investigación (Chumwichan, & Siriparp, 2016); actitudes hacia la investigación (Rietveldt, & Vera, 2012).…”

<p>A pesar de la necesidad de investigaciones científicas en Psicología para dar respuesta a los diferentes problemas psicosociales del país (violencia familiar y corrupción, por ejemplo), los estudios en esta área son aún insuficientes. Una de las formas de incentivar las investigaciones es a través de la realización de tesis. Sin embargo, muchos estudiantes optan por otro tipo de trabajos para tal fin. El objetivo del estudio es identificar, describir y explicar aquellos factores que influyen en la decisión de realizar o no realizar tesis para obtener el título profesional en estudiantes de pregrado de la carrera de Psicología. Se empleó una metodología cualitativa y el diseño Teoría Fundamentada. Se realizaron 7 entrevistas individuales y 2 grupos focales a un total de 28 estudiantes universitarios (20 mujeres y 8 varones), residentes en la ciudad de Lima, de 2 universidades nacionales y 3 particulares, que cursaban los últimos ciclos de la carrera de Psicología. Los resultados sugieren que existen factores psicológicos, circunstanciales, familiares, relacionados a la universidad, sociales y culturales cuya compleja interacción influye en los procesos psicológicos del estudiante para tomar la decisión de realizar o no realizar una tesis, representando el sistema de creencias del estudiante respecto de sí mismo y en relación con la actividad de investigación un factor psicológico central. </p>

“…Difficulty of students in research methodology is understandable. Previous literatures, (e.g., [38][39] [40]) also have discussed the difficulty of students in understanding research methodology. Similarly, studies also revealed that lack of knowledge of research methodology is one of the barrier in reading and understanding research articles [41][42] [43].…”

Research literacy is defined as the ability to search and identify relevant research articles from relevant resources, and interpret and evaluate research articles. Although there is increasing literature on the importance of research literacy, empirical data on research literacy concept is still lacking especially in the field of education. Therefore, based on the meta-data analysis, this study conceptualizes research literacy and develops Research Literacy Test (RLT) composes of three main components such as information literacy, knowledge of research methodology and statistical literacy. This study determines research literacy level of postgraduate research students in education using the Rasch Measurement Model (RMM). After confirming that all items in RLT are statistically reliable and valid for the operational use, the test then distributed to 236 postgraduate research students in the field of education from five research universities in Malaysia. Findings show that the level of overall research literacy, knowledge of research methodology and statistical literacy of postgraduate students are at Moderate Low, while their information literacy level is at Moderate High. Due to the lack of research literacy, postgraduate students should not be left alone to pick up research skills as and when they could in the process of doing research. Faculty should consider improvising the current status and function of the existing research related courses. Encouragement from the supervisor is also essential. Lastly, postgraduate students themselves should take the initiative in updating their research literacy by participating in a range of appropriate activities and share their research with others.
