I think the best didactic approach to tech research methods, if possible regarding resources, is to let students do limited research projects on their own under teachers' supervision. The downside is, of course, that this requires much more effort than simply lecturing about methods.
I think the importance of teaching research methods and research skills is pretty much self-evident. If I am understanding correctly your question. The Allan Bryman textbook is a good place to start your preparation of such a course.
I think this kind of teaching is not self-evident. There are many undergraduate courses for technical and professional purposes. In these courses, research is not stimulated ... I also recognize the merit of good methodology books. But, I would like to know the best didactics, in the relationship with the students. How to turn students into genuine researchers?

from experience in field of teacher profesionalisation I can argue that teaching research or separte research skills helps students to tackle their research questions. By teaching about the excisting academic debates students are better equiped in making coiches regarding reserach approaches and methods.
It is extremely important to examine strategies to engage students of the information age. Flipped classes with collaborative problem-solving seems to yield the best results for us.
I work in healthcare and lead value analysis. Return on Investment is critical with reliable clinical outcomes. I evaluate research every day for power , risks, and cost implications and attribute value for care delivery.
Beyond work, In the divisive world we live in value of research is a skill , needed in daily lives, to think about where to find reliable sources, whether you can perform it with the mathematical formulas, or to just have a basic understanding for decision making.
My base experience to do this, if this case about teaching research, at the first you are as a teacher/instructor/facilitator, acknowledge well about your candidate/participant strength & weakness, and your part is to guide, encourage and develop them to follow your instruction according to purpose of the major, on the process you have to monitoring and evaluate their paper work (genuine or not), before giving result.
By researching with them!!! Choose one research question and ask them to get the answer in a determined field. You guide them. When they bring in the results, you analyse it with them. When finished, you give the proper names for the scientific parts. It works so very well!! I thank Professor Giorgio Eugenio Oscare Giacaglia for teaching me to do that!
To educate your students. How to do that? Mainly, building to live together in peace, harmonic, help each other, and any other values, conducted in class and wide community. And what will we do? Becoming example figure in every situation and condition.
