Demographic data, student's perceptions of the educational- research environment and interest in the research were collected by a three- part questionnaire including 49 questions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), and analytical statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t- test, Tukey test and ANOVA) through SPSS.
results show that there is a significant positive correlation between educational- research environment and interest to the research (r= 0.40, p≥0.03). There is also a significant negative correlation between age and interest in the research (P≥0.001, r =-0.38). A significant difference was found between the educational environment and the college of education (P= 0.006).
There was a positive and significant correlation between educational- research environment and research interest in Master's students of Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences. So deputies of education as well as research and technology should considered the result of this research and by doing proper intervention try to promote the level of educational- research services of students.
