Research skills and formulation of technological research projects in students of a public university

Abstract

Research skills and the formulation of technological research projects are key elements in the professional training of students in the technological area. The objective of this work was to establish the relationship between research skills and the formulation of technological research projects in students of Production Mechanics education at a public university. Research of a quantitative approach, hypothetical-deductive method, applied type, with non-experimental design, transectional correlational. The study population is constituted by students of the superior level of the Production Mechanics specialty, with a non-probabilistic sample intentional in a census way, due to the conditions and characteristics of the work, totaling 30 people. Through the statistical test called Spearman's correlation, a value of rho= 0.940 and a Sig. (Bilateral) = 0.000 < 0.05 (significance level), with these results it is concluded that there is a significant relationship between research skills and the formulation of technological research projects in students of the Production Mechanics specialty of a public university.
