Resumen

The objective of this research was to establish the association between investigative skills and digital competencies in university students who are taking remote research courses for degree completion. A sample of 102 university students was selected, and two questionnaires were administered to them, each with an adequate level of reliability measured by Cronbach’s Alpha. The results showed that 65.7% of the students had a high level of investigative skills, while 61.8% of them were at a high level of digital competencies. As for the inferential analysis, a Spearman’s Rho of 0.769 was calculated with a significance level less than 0.001. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a moderately high correlation between investigative skills and digital competencies in remote research courses for degree completion.
