Resumen
CHEVERE-RIVERA, Karisol; VIGO-MOCKFORD, Mónica; CANALES-GUZMAN, Marta M. y SERRANO-GARCIA, Irma. A research training model: the academy hit the road. Interam. j. psychol. [online]. 2009, vol.43, n.1, pp. 91-105. ISSN 0034-9690.
We present a research training model for undergraduate students. It allowed for the development of a practicum experience for the students which in turn facilitated an ambitious research project (LEXIS) in a short period of time. We describe how the integration of two areas of psychology made the collaborative experience possible. Community psychology provided the educational pyramid model to structure the task, while industrial/organizational psychology reframed the collaborative experience with a job enrichment model for the 30 psychology students. Quantitative and qualitative data sustain the use of both models in research training. Student's motivation to participate in research facilitates their participation in LEXIS. Recommendations for use of the research training model are provided.
