Analysis of the discussion section of the scientific articles of the faculty researchers UNCP, 2008-2012

Abstract

The discussion of scientific articles written by researchers of the UNCP teachers, between 2008 to 2012 was analyzed. The study popu-lation consisted of all scientific papers produ-ced annually by educational researchers. The sample consisted of 48 items, obtained pro-babilistically; for N = 2118; Zα2 = 1,962; for a 95% confidence; p = expected proportion (5% = 0.05); p q = 1- (1-.05 = 0.95); d = Accuracy (10%). In each school they were ran-domly selected 8 scientific papers. The survey data come from the database of the resear-chers of the Research Center of the UNCP. With the achieved findings we conclude that; the percentages of levels of data interpreta-tion are: 39.6% medium level; 52.1% low level; and 8.3% from zero level; percentages levels implications of the data are: 6.3% low level; and 93.8% of zero level; the percen-tages of levels of definition of the potential limitations of the study are: 6.3% of the me-dian level; 4.2% of the low level; and 89.6% of zero level; the percentages of the levels of concordance or discordance with previous publications include: 12.5% of medium level; 20.8% low level; and 66.7% of zero level; and the percentages of the levels of the practical applications of the results are: 6.3%% low le-vel; 93.8% of zero level.
