Scientific research is fundamental to the development of one´s self, it is the knowledge of the people, and it plays a fundamental role in all academic levels, in this context, research begins by knowing the perception of teachers and students in regards to the process of research teaching & learning at the Faculty of Engineering of the UNAH, during the third period of the 2014 academic year.
The research began with the application of a survey aimed at teachers who teach methodology courses and research techniques. It was also applied to students who have received research seminars in their last year’s program.
The data was analyzed utilizing descriptive statistics. In this regard, frequency distributions (absolute and relative) and central tendency measures were used.
As a result, valuable information was obtained and it will identify appropriate policies to improve outcomes in terms of research generation in the Faculty of Engineering. As a result of the research, one fact stands out: the faculty has hired young and highly qualified teachers, with an age range between 34 and 57 years, mostly male teachers.
Professors also show a positive attitude towards research, since 89.9 % agreed to be in favor of developing research. In students, the results pointed out that only 44.4 % were committed to research, 27.8 % are neither in favor nor against and a smaller percentage does not agree at all.
From the methodological point of view, this research will help implement a better method for the generation of valid and reliable knowledge within the area of the social sciences in general. In terms of scope, this research opens new opportunities for researchers in similar situations.
