The objective of this study is to propose a methodology to contribute to the development of investigative skills in students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in health rehabilitation. The methodology used in this research is a predominantly quantitative research strategy followed, at an explanatory level, by applying different methods at the theoretical and empirical levels. As a result, the actions established in each of the stages of the methodology stand out as an element of change within the scientific result. The study concluded that the validity of the methodology was corroborated by the criteria of experts, who stated that it was very appropriate, and the development of a pre-experiment with the students of Sancti Spiritus Medical Sciences University, where it was demonstrated that the development of investigative skills towards health rehabilitation careers was achieved.
