Abstract

Scientific research helps enable students to access theoretical and practical knowledge in depth. However, stimulating student participation in scientific research is challenging for universities and colleges nationwide. This study was conducted on 224 students majoring in engineering at An Giang University to investigate the factors influencing student involvement in scientific research. The survey results showed that from 2018 to 2020, there were no student scientific research projects, while in 2021 there were 02 and in 2022 only 01. Among the 7 surveyed influencing factors, personal interest was the highest, accounting for 36.61%. Regarding the 4 levels of satisfaction surveyed, the majority of students were satisfied with their supervising professors, accounting for 38.83%. For accessing scientific research, understanding of scientific research accounted for only 8.93%. Therefore, we propose several solutions such as increasing bonus points for academic achievements, allocating more funding support, organizing research groups, and promoting scientific conferences within the university to enhance student participation in scientific research.
