ABSTRACT
Background: the study addresses the problems associated with an insufficient mastery of research skills in Psychology students.Objective: to design activities that will contribute to the development of research skills in first year Psychology students through the subject Research Methodology, in the Medical University Branch of Placetas.
Methods: a study, with a qualitative methodology, was conducted from September 2011 to June 2012. Theoretical and empirical methods were used, among the latter, documentary analysis, semi-structured in-depth interviews with teachers, participating and non-participating direct observation of students, initial diagnostic questionnaire and group interview. A methodological triangulation of sources was carried out. In addition, from the mathematical level, a percentage analysis was conducted. Expert judgment was used to evaluate the proposal.
Results: there were difficulties in taking on the research process from the subject Research Methodology, and in the context of students’ scientific activity. There was a poor command of theoretical and methodological knowledge to effectively develop research work, and lack of motivation for research in the professional area. Therefore, it is proposed the use of workshops that contribute to the development of research skills in this context.
Conclusions: the proposal was assessed by specialists, who considered that it was relevant and effective, assuming as indicators the topicality, structure, utility, quality, scientific approach, feasibility and necessity of its introduction, and impact in improving the quality of the teaching-learning process in the university context.
