| Sumario: | The objective of this study was to implement a project-based learning methodology to improve research competence in Health Sciences students, belonging to the second cycle of a private university in Lima. This is a qualitative case study and research-action design. The sample consisted of 116 second cycle students and 3 teachers of the Communication course. As information collection techniques, documentary analysis was applied to student portfolios; and the focus group, to the teachers. The information was analyzed using the Atlas.ti software, considering five axes associated with investigative competence: determination of the topic, search for reliable information, processing and analysis of information, scientific writing, and socialization of the product. Among the findings, the motivation shown by the students in the free choice of a subject related to their medical specialties stands out. Also, thanks to teacher mediation, they highlight their strengths in the search for reliable information. However, difficulties were found in the analysis and processing of information, in addition to some writing skills. In sum, the effectiveness of the methodology was verified, as long as the teacher assumes an active role of constant feedback. |
