This study is prepared by Katerina-Despoina Zacharis on Monday December 23rd
In the context of CAS Project “Bring Researcher in the Center” on Friday January 20th 2013 was conducted a research to IB Students of HAEF, in order to assist us to construct :
Ü a Questionnaire that will be distributed in Greek and International Researchers
Ü an Interview Sheet to be used in Interviews with some top Researchers
There were 119 questionnaires completed but 3 omitted as completely insufficient and 2 partially acceptable.
Results Tables – Quantitative
Questions 1-3
Questions 4 & 7
Results Tables – Qualitative
Question 4 received 9 suggestions for extra areas to be covered in this site, question 5 received 46 recommendations and question 6 240 questions to be used in the next phase.
Results TABLES ANALYSIS and graphs
The most essential outcomes of this study as follows:
QUE.1 choose ONE area (A, B, C, or D or Other) that you want to follow as part of your university studies
From the 22 students that chose Other, they wish to study

Que.2 HOW likely is it that you will follow a CAREER as a Research Scientist? – Results
Only 12.7% plan to become Research Scientists, totalling 40% to those who have chance vs 60% to those that have no such plans.
However, the most important table is the next one that measures not the no of Students per Study field / total no of Students who plan to become Research Scientists, but intra-discipline.
In this table 45.5% of the Biology Students (5 out of 11) plan to become Research Scientists and 71.4% of Medicine and Pharmacy ones have some chance to become.
In Graph 1. Chance becoming a Researcher vs Area of Studies is clearly depicted this fact.
QUE.3 Do you agree that the ROLE of the research scientist in a modern society is very important?
HAEF IB Students have a great impression about the role of the Research Scientist in the modern society with almost 90% to agree and strongly agree vs 2% on the other side of the scale.
