Abstract
The research was oriented to determine the functional influence of the investigative
competences in the abilities to solve social problems. The work was located in the
positivist paradigm, quantitative approach, substantive type, non-experimental
design, causal correlation. The sample (141 individuals) was obtained by simple
random sampling. Four instruments were used; subjected to content validity and
reliability by Cronbach's alpha and KR-20. The results were obtained by the
asymptotic free distribution method, also called weighted least squares method; they
allowed to establish structure models. concluding that there was a significant
functional influence of the investigative skills on the skills for solving social problems.
