Resumen
Promover una cultura de la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación desde temprana edad se convierte en una prioridad, movilizando en estudiantes la configuración de concepciones e imaginarios positivos sobre la ciencia, la tecnología y su valor para el desarrollo económico, social y cultural de los países. Por otro lado, en el marco de la crisis de salud pública que se vive a nivel mundial por la pandemia del coronavirus (COVID-19), el sector educativo se enfrentó al reto de ofrecer una alternativa para el proceso de formación de estudiantes de las sedes educativas del departamento del Atlántico, que fuese oportuna, pertinente y de calidad, que incluyera a aquellos pertenecientes al sistema de educación pública en la ruralidad y que no contaban con acceso a tecnologías de la comunicación como computador, smartphone y acceso a internet. Frente a esto, el propósito de esta investigación es evaluar la estrategia para el desarrollo de vocaciones tempranas en ciencia, tecnología e innovación en relación con las actitudes científicas en estudiantes de instituciones educativas del departamento del Atlántico en el marco de la emergencia sanitaria.
Para el logro de este propósito, se desarrolló una investigación empírico analítica, de tipo cuantitativa y explicativa, con un alcance descriptivo; diseño cuasiexperimental con un solo grupo; utilizando una muestra de 2073 jóvenes con edades entre los 13 y los 19 años, vinculados a instituciones educativas de los municipios y corregimientos del Atlántico; con el objetivo de caracterizar las
condiciones institucionales de docentes y estudiantes en cuanto a conectividad y herramientas tecnológicas, se diseñó una encuesta dirigida a los profesores encargados del área de investigación y para la evaluación de la estrategia para el desarrollo de vocaciones tempranas en ciencia, tecnología e innovación en relación con las actitudes científicas de estudiantes de instituciones educativas del departamento del Atlántico en el marco de la emergencia sanitaria, se diseñó una escala Likert para evaluar las actitudes científicas entre los estudiantes desde sexto hasta decimo grado, buscando la construcción de una identidad que incorpore la Ciencia, la Tecnología y la Innovación como elementos constitutivos de una cultura cotidiana, donde el mismo ejercicio de la investigación conlleve al estudiante y a los maestros a desarrollar habilidades creativas, de innovación y pensamiento crítico, para dar solución a necesidades de su contexto.
Los principales resultados de la investigación evidencian que se ha logrado desarrollar actitudes científicas en los estudiantes, lo que ha permitido el fomento de una cultura de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación en los estudiantes atlanticenses. Existe una actitud positiva hacia la ciencia en la mayoría de los estudiantes del departamento, donde los mismos reconocen el valor del papel que juega la ciencia, la tecnología, la innovación y la investigación científica en el desarrollo de las sociedades y su papel en la construcción de una nación sostenible. Esto demuestra la importancia de este tipo de estrategias, las cuales deben seguirse fortaleciendo en todo el territorio, especialmente en las zonas rurales del departamento. Este estudio tiene contribuciones importantes para investigadores y sobre la creación de políticas públicas que permitan fortalecer el desarrollo de vocaciones tempranas y actitudes científicas en los diferentes entornos que rodean al estudiante.
Promoting a culture of science, technology and innovation from an early age becomes a priority, mobilizing in students the configuration of positive conceptions and imaginations about science, technology and its value for the economic, social and cultural development of the countries. On the other hand, within the framework of the public health crisis that is being experienced worldwide by the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), the education sector faced the challenge of offering an alternative for the process of training students from the educational centers of the department of Atlántico, that were timely, pertinent and of quality, that included those belonging to the public education system in rural areas and that did not have access to communication technologies such as computers, smartphones and internet access. Faced with this, the purpose of this research is to evaluate the strategy for the development of early vocations in science, technology and innovation in relation to scientific attitudes in students of educational institutions in the department of Atlántico in the context of the health emergency. To achieve this purpose, a quantitative and explanatory empirical analytical investigation was developed, with a descriptive scope; quasi-experimental single-group design; using a sample of 2,073 young people aged between 13 and 19, linked to educational institutions in the municipalities and townships of Atlántico; In order to characterize the institutional conditions of teachers and students in terms of connectivity and technological tools, a survey was designed aimed at the teachers in charge of the research area and for the evaluation of the strategy for the development of early vocations in science, technology and innovation in relation to the scientific attitudes of students from educational institutions in the department of Atlántico in the context of the health emergency, a Likert scale was designed to evaluate scientific attitudes among students from sixth to tenth grade, seeking the construction of an identity that incorporates Science, Technology and Innovation as constitutive elements of a daily culture, where the same exercise of research leads the student and teachers to develop creative skills, innovation and critical thinking, to solve the needs of their context . The main results of the research show that it has been possible to develop scientific attitudes in the students, which has allowed the promotion of a culture of Science, Technology and Innovation in the students of the department. There is a positive attitude towards science in the majority of the students of the department, where they recognize the value of the role that science, technology, innovation and scientific research play in the development of societies and their role in the construction of a sustainable nation. This shows the importance of this type of strategy, which should continue to be strengthened throughout the territory, especially in the rural areas of the department. This study has important contributions for researchers and on the creation of public policies that allow strengthening the development of early vocations and scientific attitudes in the different environments that surround the student.
