Epistemological conceptions about learning and the acquisition of knowledge and attitudes towards research are inherent elements of good professional training. The objective of the present was to relate the epistemological conceptions about learning and the acquisition of knowledge and the attitudes towards research in students of the first semester of two university institutions. The EQEBI Test and the EACIN Scale were applied to a census sample of 520 students. The overall results range from favorable to very favorable. It is concluded that there is good potential for academic and research training, which represents a commitment to sustain and promote that potential, through good educational quality and favorable economic and social conditions for the training of future professionals.
