Abstract

Writing a scientific article is a challenging task for most undergraduate students, since there may be gaps in the academic trajectory that interfere in the understanding for the practice of scientific research. Therefore, this work aims to analyze the difficulties found in the preparation of articles by students, who concluded in 2019, of the Higher Technology course in Secretariat of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Piauí - IFPI, Teresina Central Campus, in the preparation scientific articles. This is a descriptive and exploratory study with a quantitative approach. The procedures are bibliographic, documentary and case study. Data collection took place through a questionnaire applied to students enrolled in the Course Completion Work (TCC) discipline, in that course. The results demonstrate that for the students, the greatest difficulties presented were the little theoretical reference in the area, the unavailability of the advisors, in addition to the lack of sufficient books in the library. With the research, it was verified the necessity of carrying out actions of the Institution to minimize the obstacles mentioned in the elaboration of articles, in the course of Technology in Secretariat.
