EVALUATION OF RESEARCH TRAINING IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY IN TWO STATE UNIVERSITIES; [EVALUACIÓN DE LA FORMACIÓN INVESTIGATIVA EN ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS: ESTUDIO COMPARATIVO EN DOS UNIVERSIDADES ESTATALES]

Abstract

Research has become synonymous with quality. The university that does not produce research does not contribute to the development of knowledge, therefore, it is relegated in the academic context; a professional who does not do research cannot develop professionally or academically. Understood in this context, research training is a means of access to a new society, characterized by the massive production of new knowledge from the research processes that are developed mainly in the university. In this sense, the objective of the research consisted of evaluating research training through the perception of undergraduate students in two state universities in Lima, Peru, in a sample of 216 university students, to whom an instrument developed through the Google Form application was applied, in order to be answered online. The results of the research show the problems and difficulties that the students themselves perceive through their own limitations in developing their research projects and theses. © 2022, University of Cienfuegos, Carlos Rafael Rodriguez.
