BACKGROUND: Research in universities requires systematic and participatory processes thatintegrate teachers, contents, strategies and tools, and students and their own interests. Therefore,the main objective of this study was to establish the relationship between the perception of theteaching‑learning process (TLP) and the attitude toward scientific research among midwifery students.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Descriptive cross‑sectional study, conducted on 250 students fromsecond to fourth year of study selected by convenience sampling. The data were collected with twoself‑administered Likert‑type scales that were validated in content and construct, both with highreliability. Descriptive statistics were carried out; the Spearman correlation test was used prior tothe application of the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test and Kendall’s tau‑b test.RESULTS: The favorable perception of the TLP was greater among second‑year students (42.6%),in addition, 15.2% agreed that the advice of teachers contributes to the elaboration of the researchprotocol. The attitude of indifference toward research was more frequent in third‑year students (58.2%)and 28.4% were deemed in disagreement to be able to identify and operationalize the variables. Inthe analysis of dimensions, the role of the student had a moderate relationship with the researchdesign (rho = 0.536; P < 0.001), while a weak relationship was demonstrated between media andtechniques with ethical and scientific value (rho = 0.104; P < 0.001).CONCLUSION: The TLP perceived by midwifery students and their attitudes toward scientific researchhad a direct and significant correlation. The proportion of students with favorable perception wasgreater among those with a favorable attitude.
