CASTILLO VARGAS, Andrés. Attitudes toward the dissemination of science in academic research. Reflexiones [online]. 2018, vol.97, n.1, pp.11-25. ISSN 1659-2859.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rr.v97i1.33284.

This research had as main objective to know what were the attitudes around communication processes of science, on the teachers who research at the University of Costa Rica (UCR), specifically the dissemination processes. To do this, we used the Theory of Reasoned Action (TAR) with the aim of building a system based on the methodology of structural equations, which allows identifying the factors that facilitated the intention of performing dissemination around communication processes of science on the researcher personnel working of the UCR. Among the main findings, a positive assessment on the attitudinal discourse on the dissemination and popularization of science is identified. However, this assessment does not necessarily imply a practical correlate. Similarly, a preference for oral communication activities against the written character.
