Use Cases
Analyze the relationship between academic performance and research attitudes based on the reported significant predictor.
Identify the most common structural barriers to student research based on reported frequencies like insufficient training (81.0%).
Compare research knowledge scores across different academic years based on the finding that fifth-year students demonstrated the highest scores.
Study gender differences in research engagement based on the reported 70.7% male participation and no significant knowledge difference by gender.
Strengths
Includes survey responses from 1,387 participants, providing a substantial sample size.
Data collection is clearly defined as occurring between April and July 2025.
Specific statistical results are reported, such as a mean knowledge score of 2.8/10 and barrier percentages (e.g., 81.0% cited insufficient training).
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analyses.
