Fomento de la Educación STEM en edades tempranas. Un estudio sobre la intención del comportamiento y el contexto familiar
Abstract
Existe un creciente interés en el fomento de las vocaciones STEM (Ciencias, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas [Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics]). Esta investigación estudia cómo influye el capital científico de la familia en las actitudes hacia la ciencia de los estudiantes en edad escolar. Además, se analizan los efectos de una intervención educativa STEM mediante un Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos (ABP), sobre la intención de los estudiantes de realizar estudios relacionados con la Ciencia. Lo novedoso de esta investigación radica en las edades de la muestra y en tener como marco teórico de referencia la TRAPB (Teoría de la Acción Razonada y de la Conducta Planificada) de Fishbein & Ajzen (2010). Se ha podido comprobar la asociación entre la intención de realizar estudios STEM y las profesiones de los padres, así como con el rendimiento en Matemáticas y la autoeficacia. Existió una inclinación diferencial entre chicos y chicas.
There is a growing interest in the enhancement of the attractiveness of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) professions. This research analyses the influence that the type of education of parents have on creating positive attitudes towards science on their children. In addition, this research also measures the effect that an educational action with a focus on STEM, through the use of a system of Problem Based Learning, has on students willingness to study fields related to Science. The novel touch of this investigation relies on both the age of the sample and the use of Theories of Reasoned Action and Planned Behaviour of Fishbein & Ajzen (2010) as theoretical framework. Evidence showed the existence of an association between the willingness of a subject to assess STEM studies and three variables, the profession of his/her parents, his/her performance in Mathematics and his/her self-efficacy. Existing differences were also found between genders.
