For this reason, a national survey involving 852 researchers from all disciplines was conducted in Argentina. The results showed that the factors affecting scientific vocation are many, and that, regardless of differences in gender, age or discipline, the greatest influence on the decision to go into scientific research is exerted by teachers. The analysis also demonstrated that different manifestations of PCST (science books, press articles, audiovisual material, and activities such as visits to science museums) play a significant role in awakening the vocation for science. From these results it may be stated that PCST-in addition to its function of informing and forming citizens-exerts a significant influence in fostering scientific vocation. © The Author(s), 2010. 2010 https://bibliotecadigital.exactas.uba.ar/collection/paper/document/paper_09636625_v19_n5_p625_Stekolschik http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12110/paper_09636625_v19_n5_p625_Stekolschik |
