Perception and attitude on the development of thesis in university students

Abstract

The purpose of the university is to train the individual from a humanistic, scientific and technological perspective, considering the realities and needs of society. For this, it is necessary to encourage research throughout the training process of university students, who at the end of their studies must present a thesis to obtain the academic title; However, when preparing the thesis, perception and attitude play a very important role, therefore, the objective of the research was to determine the relationship between perception and attitude towards the preparation of thesis by 112 undergraduate students of the language specialty of a Peruvian public university, who responded to two surveys on perception and attitude in the preparation of theses. The investigative work focused on a quantitative approach, of a non-experimental, correlational design. The results showed that the statistical test of the Chi square was significant, concluding that there is a relationship between attitude and perception to produce theses at the undergraduate level.
