The purpose of the study was to evaluate research training for prospective and methodological learning in university students. The study was developed in April 2019 with students from the 10th cycle of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, belonging to the National University "San Luis Gonzaga", Ica-Peru. The trainin course "Thesis project and scientifi c research thesis for university students" was considered. The population sample was of 18 university students, and through non-probability sampling, by convenience (afternoons: Tuesday and Thursday), the number of attendance was measured, while the research training (FI) was measured on Thursday afternoon. The percentage of progress in the methodological structure of the thesis project was considered, where the following was established as a nominal qualitative criterion FOR the latter indicator: effi cient FI (100-85%), regular FI (84-75%), poor FI (less than 75%). For each day, a percentage of progress of the training course was indicated, and although only one student was absent, there was a statistically significant difference (t = -95.82) when compared to Tuesday (94.44 %) and Thursday (100%). According to the percentage of the advancement of the thesis project's methodological criteria, the FI was efficient since 15 students out of 18 complied with the established (83.33%). It is concluded that investigative training requires assistance during training and being offered by the teacher, dosed topics that allow the development and understanding of concepts and procedures.
