Habilidades investigativas y competencias digitales en cursos remotos de investigación para fin de carrera

The objective of this research was to establish the association between investigative skills and digital competencies in university students who are taking remote research courses for degree completion. A sample of 102 university students was selected, and two questionnaires were administered to them, each with an adequate level of reliability measured by Cronbach’s Alpha. The results showed that 65.7% of the students had a high level of investigative skills, while 61.8% of them were at a high level of digital competencies. As for the inferential analysis, a Spearman’s Rho of 0.769 was calculated with a significance level less than 0.001. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a moderately high correlation between investigative skills and digital competencies in remote research courses for degree completion.
