It seems to provide the right approach. I think that above all, the ability to arouse their curiosity, which will lead them to development. But for that to happen, above all, solid foundations and teachers fascinated. Who will be followed by young people. Aroused curiosity is a step away from success. The student or curious student listens to his mentor, talks, and dialogue is necessary, because through this dialogue we translate and arouse another curiosity that begs that they willingly participate in projects that sometimes have no material benefits. Educational and mental development is not always associated with gratification. The very possibility of solving a simple experiment for many students is the step from which the adventure with a scientific career begins. Science clubs in which student ideas are implemented. Often directed by the guardian of the circle. Encouragement through standard classes, lectures and exercises. So all of our hands as lecturers.
I think it is highly dependent on two main aspects:
1. Providing an appropriate material and educational approach to build and enhance their needed skills. Then, guide them to increase distance and self-learning. Making the curriculum of research in schools be really practical and graded if possible is helpful. I think we need to show them some direct benefits and encourage them.
2. Providing some opportunities for those students as making it preferred or so to include one or two students in each project of staff. Additionally, a clear process to make it possible for students to propose, get approvals and start a research project in a systematic way not just individual side efforts with some bonus for this. Also, mentorship programs to assign interested students to qualified mentors may help.
I always thought a neat class would be an entire class being a project. In other words, research on behalf of the good is created by 30 students for credit toward their degree. It would be ran by authority above them and would be a great resume builder. I’ve met nursing graduates who believe the earth is flat, we didnt land on the moon, a full moon affects human behavior, vaccines cause autism, apple cider vinegar will slim you up like a model, fenugreek extract and tribulus can increase testosterone for quick muscle growth, etc etc. Just my opinion being a student again.

I few years ago I developed and implemented a technology for the first steps of students to step into the world of research -- to put technical questions on Research Gate and see the responses, next to tune (rephrase) the question etc. The method's description together with notes for students and for teacher on how to use it can be found on my page in RG.
Of course, this does not solve the problem entirely, but I believe that research skills start from asking appropriate questions.
Dear dr. Mohammed to enhance research skills by our students we should use teaching strategies based on exploration and research. It call Research based teaching.
Thank you for your question. We have a research subject for our 2nd-3rd year undergraduate medical students. They have to finalise their work as a manuscript for submission to a journal.
It was not a smooth experience when we changed the curriculum in 2009, and I started working on the introduction of research (real research) across the departments for our third-year undergraduate medical students. I had to visit the 19 departments and discuss the idea and encourage them to supervise students in research. We have also established training workshops on supervising undergraduate research students. We also have workshops on research methods and designing research and writing skills for students and staff.
In undergraduate university students case , i think learning by doing. In one hand, students need guidance in the research process. On the other hand, teachers can guide them. For learning by doing, teachers can invite students to colaborate with his researchs.
In my opinion, by establishing a network of senior researcher that a student can reach to seek help and participation in any research projects that suit their experience also by providing courses that help students to acquire practical skills these courses can be project-based in which student can learn the research process by practising it.
I suggest the utilisation of researchgate to access the papers without payment. It is a great opportunity to read and contact the authors directly. Another suggestion is to recommend the Publons academy for training them related to the reviews. In this way the students can learn the details observed by scholars. They also can training doing the assignments for this course. Totally free!
In my opinion, a good team is very important, members can cooperate with each other, and encourage existing students to help new students, so that they can easily really understand the research field, open the door to research, and further stimulate their interest.
Our model in Egypt was successful and unique. The impact also extended beyond those involved in the model towards the upcoming generations. We advise the same model in similar LMICs.
