The implementation of reforms in doctoral education, with the application of the Bologna Declaration, has brought new challenges to universities as well as indicates the need to understand what is meant by this same training. This study aims, through the consultation of a panel of experts from five Portuguese universities, to understand what the is purpose of the first curricular year of a doctoral program and identify which competences related with research methodologies in education should be developed and what strategies can be promoted to this development. Based on the interpretive paradigm and of a qualitative nature, the study was carried out through a survey of open-ended questions, and a content analysis was made using qualitative analysis software. The results show that there is no consensus but diversity in perspectives from the experts on competences to develop and on the strategies to promote these competences. One of the emerging findings of this study points to the need to propose a framework of competences related to research methodologies.
