The data collection was used as direct observation technique; and as instruments, an evaluation guide for the research skills of conceptual, procedural and attitudinal construction, procedural, attitudinal construction and the evaluation of the educational program. The Student's T test was used to the examination of the hypothesis to the independent samples. For the statistical significance was used the reliability of 95%, and a margin of error of 0.05. The results in the application of the educational program was 79.2%, magnitude of the effect; in the experimental group presented advanced level in research skills compared to 20.8% of the control group with medium level research skills; statistically significant differences were found in the scores between the two groups for the research skills in general; and according to conceptual, procedural and attitudinal construction skills dimensions, all with p≤0,000. In conclusion, the educational program has positive effectiveness in the development of research skills in fourth-year nursing students.
