The role of motivation in developing research skills: an interdisciplinary perspective

This article explores the development of research skills in students within the context of an interdisciplinary approach. Research skills refer to students’ ability to conduct research, analyze information, and solve complex problems. The interdisciplinary approach integrates multiple disciplines into the learning process, providing students with a broader perspective and fertile ground for the development of research skills. Motivation plays an essential role in this process, and the relevance of the subject to students’ individual interests can be a significant source of motivation. Teachers, as mentors, have an impact on students’ motivation by providing guidance and positive feedback. Effective time management and the promotion of reflection on research experiences complement this framework for the development of research skills. Through the interdisciplinary approach and active involvement of teachers, students become capable of tackling complex issues, exploring the world with curiosity, and developing essential skills for their future success.
