Abstract
In this quantitative study, research assistants’ perceptions toward science and scientific activities were investigated. More specifically, in this study, the perceptions of research asistants towards science and scientific activities were comparatively analyzed in terms of status of assistantship (FDP-Faculty Development Program research assistant and department research assistant), gender and major fields (Natural Science, Social Science and Engineering). Survey method was employed and 347 research assistants working in a state university were participated in the study. Chi-Square Test was used to analyze the data.
