Open-access Development of research competencies in teachers: a multifactorial approach

Abstract

The study analyzes factors that influence the development of research competencies in seminar teachers and research methodology in South America, employing a quantitative approach and a non-experimental design. A sample of 150 teachers was used, and data were collected through validated surveys (α = .98). The results reveal that institutional indicators have low priority in Bolivia (60 %), Ecuador (46 %), Paraguay (46 %), and Venezuela (40 %). Furthermore, the perception of tutors' academic preparation varies, being moderate in Bolivia (53 %) and favorable in Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, and Venezuela (46 %). Student interest is occasionally present, and cognitive skills show variability, highlighting the need to strengthen institutional indicators and improve teacher training.
