ABSTRACT
El deficiente hábito de lectura de los estudiantes que llegan a la educación superior no solo afecta su cultura general sino repercute significativamente en sus aptitudes investigativas,; demostrando desinterés por las investigaciones, en ocasiones carentes de innovaciones carentes de pensamiento crítico, e incluso reflexivo, lo que limita su papel proactivo., por ellos aplicamos como método una revisión del estado del arte en la temática. De este modo, el presente artículo tuvo como objetivo reflexionar acerca de la implementación de estrategias conscientes para incentivar la comprensión lectora en los estudiantes que ingresan a la educación superior. Se utilizaron métodos teóricos y empíricos como el análisis y la síntesis, el inductivo-deductivo, la revisión bibliográfica y la observación. Se abordaron temáticas relacionadas con la comprensión lectora, las aptitudes investigativas, y se estableció su relación con la docencia, mediante técnicas didácticas que incentivaran al estudiante a la lectura reflexiva y a la investigación acerca de temáticas de gran pertinencia social. Este estudio sustenta que el ámbito académico de la educación superior presenta un papel protagónico para inducir los hábitos y las aptitudes lectoras en los estudiantes. A través de situaciones polémicas, se incentiva la investigación como manera de desarrollar las capacidades necesarias para, una vez graduados, los estudiantes estén dotados de los conocimientos y las herramientas necesarias para transformar la sociedad., haciendo altamente pertinente su perfil profesional para el cual fue preparado(AU)
Poor reading habits of students who reach higher education not only affects their general culture but also has a significant impact on their research skills; for example, they show lack of interest in research, sometimes with little innovation or critical thinking capacities, and even at the reflective level, which limits their proactive role. Thus, the present article aimed to reflect on the implementation of conscious strategies to encourage reading comprehension in students entering higher education. Topics related to reading comprehension and research skills were addressed, while their relationship with teaching was established, through didactic techniques that would encourage students to use reflective reading and research on topics of great social relevance. This study sustains that the academic field of higher education plays a leading role in inducing reading habits and skills in students. Through controversial situations, research is encouraged as a way to develop the necessary skills so that, once they graduate, students are endowed with the knowledge and tools necessary to transform society, making their professional profile highly relevant, for which they were prepared(AU)

Background: Epidemiology batch posting (EBP) is conducted only in a few Indian medical colleges for undergraduate students to orient them with research methodologies. EBP is designed to overcome the lacuna in knowledge on attitude towards scientific research amongst medical students. The objective of the study was to study the effect of EBP in improving attitude towards research among medical students.Methods: A pre-post study was conducted on a batch of 40 students (consecutive sampling technique) posted for EBP in Department of Community Medicine, at VMMC and Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi during October-November 2017. This was well above the required sample size of 16 calculated using G Power 3.1. Data was collected using R-ATR (revised attitude towards research) Data was found to be non-parametric by applying tests of normality. Hence Wilcoxon sign rank test was used to find the statistical significance in change of attitude between pre and post-tests.Results: Participants mean age was 20.50±1.58 yrs and 75% of them were males. The median attitude towards research usefulness increased from 5.25 to 6.75 following EBP. In the domain of positive predisposition towards research, there was an overall positive change in attitude from a median of 4.00 to 5.25. A negative change was shown in ‘research anxiety’ domain, from a median score of 5.00 to 3.00.Conclusions: Authors recommend that Indian medical curriculum should mandate a small group learning model such as EBP for all undergraduate medical students to bring about a positive attitude towards research and to reduce their anxiety levels.
ABSTRACT
The amount of the research-oriented graduates is increasing in affiliated hospitals of medical universities.To create an effective training model can not only help students to succeed but also contribute great to the research level of hospitals.In this study,we summarized our experience,such as individualized teaching,the unity of thinking and performing,words and deeds as well as unity of clinic and research on the formation of research ideas,attitudes and styles.Based on our experiences we hope to provide meaningful methods for the training of medical graduates.
