Abstract
Research methodology is an important but challenging subject for many university students. In this study, a systematic literature review of the last five years was conducted, selecting twenty-six studies that met the established criteria for methodological and practical quality. Revealing a widespread negative perception surrounding this subject. Despite its relevance, it seems that teaching in this field has not achieved the desired effectiveness. However, a promising approach is observed: the implementation of active learning strategies, such as gamification, flipped classrooms, and active learning, is gaining ground. These strategies aim to make the learning process of research methodology more engaging and participatory. The study emphasizes the importance of providing comprehensive training that encompasses technological, pedagogical, and curricular aspects. Additionally, it highlights the need to reform institutional policies to promote strong research competence. There is a call for a complete transformation in the way research methodology is taught, incorporating gamification and didactic strategies to enhance the quality of the learning process.
