Resumen

El estudio analizó cómo el diseño metodológico y el análisis de datos se configuraron como experiencias formativas articuladas que potenciaron el aprendizaje investigativo en educación superior. Se desarrolló un estudio mixto, de alcance descriptivo-correlacional y diseño no experimental transversal, con una muestra de 90 estudiantes universitarios que elaboraban proyectos académicos. Se aplicó una rúbrica de coherencia metodológica y una escala de percepción de aprendizaje investigativo. Los datos fueron analizados mediante estadística descriptiva, correlación de Pearson y análisis cualitativo complementario.

Los resultados mostraron niveles predominantemente medios de coherencia metodológica, con mayores fortalezas en la formulación del problema y debilidades en la interpretación de resultados. Se identificaron correlaciones positivas y significativas entre coherencia metodológica y aprendizaje investigativo, particularmente en pensamiento crítico y comprensión metodológica. Los hallazgos sugirieron la necesidad de integrar curricularmente metodología y análisis estadístico, así como implementar evaluaciones basadas en coherencia investigativa. El estudio propuso el Modelo de Articulación Método–Datos (MAME), que integró coherencia epistemológica, consistencia metodológica, pertinencia analítica e impacto formativo como dimensiones interdependientes del aprendizaje investigativo.
