Teaching research methodology in university education.

Abstract

The purpose of this intellectual research product is to present the State of the Art on the teaching of research methodology in university education, since this knowledge that reifies the facts to be investigated seems to become, thanks to this way of seeing the method, in one of the most common and worrying epistemological obstacles in the failure of the university student, in his construction of his research products. To do this, we go through a heuristic and interpretative-critical exercise in various documentary sources. First, some important sources are taken, namely, Unesco statistics, regarding the number of researchers by region of the world, doctoral theses were consulted from 2016 to the present on the different web pages of the national universities where The Doctorate program in Educational Sciences is dictated, such as: UNESR, ULA, UPEL, UCV, UCAB, USM, URBE, where no precedents were found in this regard, international universities were consulted. 25 research methodology books were consulted, in order to obtain the concept of methodology, resulting in only three books, as well as the similarities and differences in the way of developing the problem and the research process, books were also consulted. Related to research training and Science, among the search, 20 articles from scientific journals were selected, obtaining information on the teaching of research methodology, the obstacles to investigate. It can be concluded that the teaching of the methodology must be complemented with the different approaches, methods and paradigms.
