Abstract

The research training has been constituted in the last decades in a fundamental field for the initial preparation of the teaching staff. In this sense, this work presents the results of a study aimed at evaluating the development of research skills in students of the distance program of the National Pedagogical University Francisco Morazán. The research was conducted from a methodological approach that combines quantitative and qualitative techniques. 163 students participated in professional practice and 6 teachers who facilitate training spaces oriented to research. The results reveal that, the level achieved by the students is intermediate-advanced and no significant differences are identified by headquarters location. Regarding the assessment of the teaching staff, it is concluded that the didactic strategies that are privileged are the active, collaborative and those that link the theory and practice.
