Zusammenfassung

With the aim of diagnosing the state of the Historical Research in the educational context of the Faculty of Sciences of Education, Humanities and Technology at the UNACH an applied research of the descriptive type was developed. For the analysis of data, Descriptive statistics was applied. The main obtained results were: The School of Social Sciences keeps a high level of admission, and most of its students report to be interested in the study of History. The levels of Historical Research in the universe studied is insufficient, the theme of local history is the most investigated by the students, at the faculty library three of those studies were found with a research methodology that shows insufficiencies. The students report that most of the times, they have researched historical topics as part of their school tasks assigned by their teachers, mostly as literature reviews. Professor and students of the population coincide that access to the primary document sources of information is very difficult; they use mostly the resources available on the Internet. The members of the population who say the Tutors of Higher Education need training on methodology for historical research were the predominated ones. (Alonso, S.; Palomares, A., 2013).
