The research culture and the development of research ability in students of the faculty of social and health sciences of the Peninsula Santa Elena State University, Ecuador, during the period 2018-2019

Abstract:

Training in the research culture of university students represents a great challenge in a social context dominated by globalization. The university student must assume an investigative and critical attitude in their training. Far from focusing on updating the latest advances in knowledge of your specific career, it must be assumed from the perspective of comprehensive, ethical, scientific and humanistic training. The objective of the study is to evaluate the influence of the research culture on the development of research skills, applying research methods, techniques and instruments, aimed at 300 students from the Faculty of Social and Health Sciences. A correlation test was applied to verify related dimensions between the variables, research culture and development of research skills. There is a direct correlation between the variables of research culture and development of research skills. It is concluded that, as long as an adequate research culture is encouraged, research skills will be developed in the student of the Santa Elena Peninsula State University.
