The study focuses its attention on the formation of experimental skills in agronomic engineering students. Its objective was directed to propose a didactic conception for the process of formation of experimental skills of physics in the career of Agronomy of the University of Pinar del Río. Theoretical methods (modeling, systemic-structural, analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction) and empirical methods (survey of physics teachers and document review) were used. The research was descriptive and assumed a mixed approach. The work was taken into account with integrative experimental projects with a systemic, investigative and professional approach that regulates didactic mediation and assigns distinctive and leading roles to professors and students to guarantee the efficiency of the teaching-learning process. The evaluation of experts made allows recommending the proposed conception as a valid option to enhance the efficient development of the process.
