Abstract

This work is a case study, whose objective is centered around determining if students in 11th grade at International School of Tegucigalpa, Honduras are apt to carrying out an investigation project. The population that was the objective of this study was accompanied with the dynamic of "Learning by doing", with the purpose of perceiving the expectations a priori, along with the strengths and weaknesses in regards to acquired skills for the development of an investigation. In the results, there are stages in the teaching and learning process in regards to the investigation that are shown as evidence in a quantitative order, obtained from the student´s projects. Although the focus of the study is strictly qualitative. The main idea of the study was to discover if the students receive the procedural competences in order to realize an investigation project, detecting their strengths and weaknesses.
