R a t i o n a l eT h e d e v e l o p m e n t o f re s e a rc h competence in higher education students has become a challenge in the curricula defined by different academic programs.However, studies reveal the deficiencies that university students present in knowledge related to research methods, as well as the limited applicability and usefulness of these methods, which are often seen as boring and abstract topics (Reid, 2018).This reality highlights one of the main concerns of the higher education system: the lack of research skills and competencies among students, which is reflected in the scarcity of scientific research outputs during and after their studies (Ávalos et al., 2019).In response to this situation, governments and education administrations have implemented various actions aimed at specialized centers, innovation centers, and mostly universities, in order to achieve scientific excellence (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development [OECD, 2016]).The goal is to ensure greater integration of students in investigative processes, which would have a positive impact on their own professional and academic practice, as well as on INPLASY
