The present research had as objective to identify, through evaluation, scientific rigor level of
the masters’ theses in education of a public university. We used the documentary analysis
technique; an instrument was made to evaluate the master´s thesis and was validated by the
experts judgment technique. The population was made of a total of 126 master’s theses
published between the years 2012 and 2014, and of a quantitative type, a sample of 72
master’s theses were taken for analysis applying stratified sampling per year publication
and were selected randomly. We evaluated each of the theses that were obtained from the
Education Faculty Library. We evaluated each of the theses that were retrieved from the
Education Faculty Library and we identified to what level they belonged on a scale of five:
high, very high, medium, low and very low. After the descriptive statistical analysis, we can
determine that most of the theses correspond to the average level of Scientific Rigor.
