The Development of Attitudinal Skills for the Research Work of Students in Teacher Training: Autonomous, Critical and Creative Learning

Abstract

This research has been proposed, from the implementation of a program for the development of research competence in Initial Teacher Training (FID), to account for the perceptions that students have, with respect to the achievement and development of learning autonomous, critical and creative for research work. This study has been developed from the theoretical and methodological foundations of the qualitativeinterpretive research approach and particularly, with the application of the evaluative level case study method. We worked with a sample of 80 students in teacher training at a Honduran university, to whom a semi-structured qualitative interview was applied. For the processing of codes and the categorization of the units of analysis, the specialized program for qualitative data AQUAD 6 was used. Among the most relevant results, it is evident that the students have perceived their own achievement of attitudinal skills to self-regulate their learning process with critical judgment and innovative responsibility during the investigative work. And all this, within the framework of a pedagogical environment full of practical experiences of collaborative work between peers and with the support of teachers; and reinforced with information and resources hosted on the web.
