Investigative competences of professors of the primary education teaching degree

Abstract

Since the importance that performing investigation has in the educators of future teachers, the present study researched the investigation competencies developed by the professors from the Primary Education Teaching degree of a university of El Salvador. The authors carried out a quantitative study, in a transactional exploratory, non-experi- mental type. The results in the study show, on one hand, strengths in the development of the investigation process regarding the search, analysis, and interpretation of information. On the other hand, it also presents that professors have some weaknesses in the academic-scien- tific writing process. It seems necessary to carry out studies which permit to investigate about the lack of scientific writing products.
