Aim: to describe and discuss the experiences and importance of the research group for the Nursing student training. Method: experimental report study, which addresses the role of the group for professional training and nursing research and presents the contributions that this space of knowledge construction provides to its members. Results: the members of the group are instigated to have a critical thinking and to have the opportunity to relate the knowledge acquired in the university with the experiences in real working contexts and in the nursing praxis through the research projects, which awakens the reflexibility on diverse contexts. Final considerations: involvement in Research Groups allows and facilitates the advancement of knowledge production, which increasingly distances nursing from the old paradigm of "technique through technique" and allows the action of a thoughtful/reflective practice.

Aim: to report the experience of scholarship students participating in the project "Building concepts in undergraduate nursing education in the light of the theory of meaningful learning: construction of concept maps using the Cmap Tools® software". Method: report of experience of scholarship students about a project included in the Integrated Action Notice published by an institution of higher education and developed between the months of January to September 2013. Results: these are presented in three axes proposed by the project: teaching, research and extension. Thus, there was a minicourse on conceptual maps and instruction on the software, the production of scientific papers on the topic addressed and the contribution of scholarship students in scientific studies. Final considerations: the scholarship students reflected on the teaching-learning process, with bases directed to the learner, since it constitutes the subject in training to actively participate in building their cognitive structure
