Undergraduate research in Mexico: Opportunities in a country of contrasts

Abstract

In studies on the development of undergraduate research, questions arise to identify training practices that may shed light on other contexts. Among the questions are located the organizational conditions and infrastructure available, the training of teachers, the methodological strategies that are usually integrated in the different disciplines, the challenges to promote research learning and the purposes of linking research with teaching-learning processes. Swank & Lambie (2016) invite to continue developing and evaluating educational interventions that promote research competences from training. As well as the search for solutions for sustainable development, supported by scientific knowledge and processes to generate solutions in higher education institutions (García-González & Ramírez-Montoya, 2021). What types of competencies are substantial in this training?
