Based on the teaching experience, the authors identify some difficulties that students have to design research proposals related to information management in the Areas of Economic and Administrative Sciences, as well as Social Sciences and Humanities of the Universidad Autónoma de Nayarit (UAN). Attention is given to the development of skills for obtaining adequate information, but emphasizing its use within training of research. With this, we emphasize that the tools offered by the courses contents related to information management are not being incorporated into the practical activities of the students in the subsequent semesters. On the other hand, placing them in the first semester, means that students do not need to use the skills learned until more advanced semesters, this ends up becoming a didactic obstacle.
