Abstract (English): Peru is one of the Latin American countries with the lowest research productivity. Therefore, we designed and tested a training model to teach research skills to students for one semester. We implemented the model in one mid-sized Peruvian university, analyzing 400 students (Experimental Group=200, Control Group=200) in their third undergraduate year. Our educational model resulted in favorable changes in the students' knowledge of research methodologies and the motivation to do research. The paper ends with practical advice and applications for tertiary education institutions that look for strategies to boost research productivity through the involvement of undergraduate students in the research process.

Abstract (Spanish): El Perú es uno de los países latinoamericanos con menor productividad en investigación. Por lo tanto, diseñamos y probamos un modelo de capacitación para enseñar habilidades de investigación a los estudiantes durante un semestre. Implementamos el modelo en una universidad peruana de tamaño mediano, analizando 400 estudiantes (Grupo Experimental = 200, Grupo de Control = 200) en su tercer año de pregrado. Nuestro modelo educativo resultó en cambios favorables en el conocimiento de los estudiantes sobre las metodologías de investigación y la motivación para hacer investigación. El artículo finaliza con consejos prácticos y aplicaciones para instituciones de educación terciaria que buscan estrategias para impulsar la productividad de la investigación a través de la participación de estudiantes de pregrado en el proceso de investigación.
