- Abstract
Peru is one of the Latin American countries with the lowest research productivity. Therefore, we designed and tested a training model to teach research skills to students for one semester. We implemented the model in one mid-sized Peruvian university, analyzing 400 students (Experimental Group=200, Control Group=200) in their third undergraduate year. Our educational model resulted in favorable changes in the students' knowledge of research methodologies and the motivation to do research. The paper ends with practical advice and applications for tertiary education institutions that look for strategies to boost research productivity through the involvement of undergraduate students in the research process.
