The Research Competence: Acquisition and Development Among Undergraduates in Education Sciences

Known as one of the competences of the 21st century, research competence can help students navigate through the complexities of a continuously shifting world. This study aims to analyze the acquisition and development of this competence in a sample of 154 undergraduate students of two bachelor’s deg...
