Abstract	The purpose of this study was to assess students' self-perceptions of their research abilities and develop strategies to improve research skills among undergraduate students. The instrument was administered to students in a Kinesiology department at a university in Midwest U.S.A. Fifteen questions were included in the self-administered questionnaire, which includes research habits, past research experiences, and self-perceptions on research skills and demographics. Data based on a total of 315 respondents showed that most students reported higher levels of self-perceived research skills such as information literacy skills, ethical principles, and communication skills. However, students reported lower levels of confidence in research design and statistical skills. The results of this study illustrate the importance of developing research skills among students. Key strategies include coaching, mentoring, and providing more research opportunities. (As Provided).
