Resum:	Research competence, internationally recognized as a twenty-first-century competency, helps people to develop clinical reasoning and an increased understanding of the complexity of the reality surrounding us. Research competency is characterized by critical thinking, comprehension of the basics of science, epistemic understanding, research skills, evidence-based reasoning, and contextual understanding. Although scientific thinking is traditionally associated with the natural sciences, it is also necessary for success in the social sciences, arts, and humanities. Since the inception of the Bologna Process in 1999 and the creation of the European Higher Education Area in 2010, all European university grades must include a module on research competence; "research methods" is a core topic, embedded in all educational programs, regardless of field or education level. Additionally, secondary schools must provide activities that foster students' scientific thinking, such as the completion of a research project in 12th grade (International Standard Classification of Education level three). Given the requirement for students to achieve research competency, more work is needed to develop best practices for fostering research skills in the classroom at all levels. With the relevance of scientific reasoning to the improvement of current and future societies in mind, this Research Topic is interested in deepening best practices for teaching and learning research competence through research methods courses. Indeed, it aims to gather contributions that will help us to learn more about how research competence can be fostered among students, whether as a whole or as one of its components.
