Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In Lebanon, given that research and teaching are dual roles and given the limited number of studies regarding the topic at the national level, analysis of factors that may influence university students’ knowledge and attitudes toward research and stratification of gender and study major was conducted. This study aimed to assess research-related knowledge and attitudes and associated factors; a secondary objective was to stratify the results on gender and students’ field of study. A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to May 2022 among 445 university students using a validated questionnaire. Higher knowledge about research was significantly associated with graduate student and majoring in health, medicine, or science. High and intermediate GPAs and checking research carried out by instructors were associated with a better attitude towards research. There were also discrepancies between universities in that regard. Knowledge and attitudes about research among university students are multifactorial.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
