This article analyses the factors which influence in the development of students scientific activity. Similar statements appear in the Working Guidelines of the Communist Party, the consequences of the current international context in our economy, and research development, which displaced many topics towards pedagogy and primary health care level resulting in the loss of basic or fundamental sciences research. It is proposed to delimit the current trends which justify research and to identify the theoretical references that support the need of training research skills. On literature review, it is corroborated as a trend training comprehensive professionals, with solid scientific knowledge, with tools for problem solution during his social service and to transform the reality consciously. As a theoretical referent our higher leader, Fidel Castro, at early times insisted on this need, as well as other classical and contemporary pedagogues who highlight the importance of research during the teaching process.
