An observational, descriptive study was carried out between August 2018 and August 2019, in which a population of 704 students was worked; a semi-structured questionnaire was prepared and a group interview was applied to 32 Nursing professors at the Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil, who taught their subjects in the different Units of Basic Curricular Organization (Basic, Pre-professional and Degree). It was found that the motivation for the realization of scientific works by the professors still found in the initial state (67.24 %); the 26.55 % of the students respond that there is a lack of systematic planning of actions and strategies in terms of linking research in the context of pre-professional practice and acquired skills, and construction of the research projects; and only 22 % manifest it is useful to be able to select and prepare their information, which demonstrates that the existing methodology in the program has yet to be adjusted for such effects.
