| Sumario: | The scientific practices of university academics impact their scientific and academic work; therefore, it is necessary to know its dynamics to understand the generation of knowledge and the training of human resources in each science and academic unit. The aim of the present work was to relate the scientific practices of medical academics FCM-UNC with gender and working hours.
A descriptive, transversal study was performed. Universe: FCM-UNC Medical Careers Teachers; N: 1028. A non probabilistic, accidental, quota sampling was carried out; n: 310. Instrument: Self-administered Questionnaire. 96 questionnaires were retrieved: 10 Full Teachers, 8 Associate Teachers, 26 Adjunct Teachers and 52 Assistant Teachers.
Out of the 1028 professors of the career, 498 (48%) were women, 14 of 45 were Full Professors and only 5 (11%) of them were full time (FT), 11 of 28 were Associates and 4 (14%) with FT, 74 of 142 were Adjunt Professors with 38 (27%) FT, 399 of 813 Assistants and 45 (6%) of them were FT. Of the 96 academics who responded the questionnaire, 58 were women and 38 men. Of these, only 69 investigated: 43 of the 58 women (74%) and 26 of the 38 men (68%). Of the 69 researchers, 46 (67%) were directing projects, 31 of these 46 (67%) were women; 41 of the 69 (59%) carried out extra-university activities, 23 of these 41 (56%) were women and 17 of the 23 (74%) directed (χ2 = 21.64; C = .50; V = .41; p≤.02). Addiotionally, 43 of the 69 academics worked in networks with other institutions; 29 of the 43 (67%) were women.
From these results it can be concluded that: when decreases the hierarchy in the position increases the presence of women and FT are scarce. Some scientific practices of medical school academics are associated with gender and working hours, since women are proportionally the ones that direct a higher amount of projects; at the same time they carry out extra-university activities, they work in networks with other institutions and with minimum dedication to the research activity. While no significant difference was found in other practices, such as: scientific production and human resources training. |
