Desarrollo de habilidades Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, en estudiantes universitarios de Física mediante proyectos i + D + i. Caso: Estimación de la demanda de la energía eléctrica en zonas rurales y urbano-marginales

Abstract:

The educational model (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) proposes among its activities the development of the skills that students must acquire from initial levels. This article consists of the fact that this pedagogical construct can determine, through interdisciplinary collaborative projects, professional skills for the development of I + D + i activities for the estimation of the electric demand in marginal rural and urban areas of the Guayaquil canton. The model promotes some learning strategies in the students of the basic level of Industrial Engineering at the University of Guayaquil from the emotional, experiential and collaborative point of view in non-formal environments. To assess the model, a mixed type of research was carried out that took a heterogeneous sample of 83 volunteer subjects, all of them aged between 18 and 25 years. An ad hoc questionnaire of learning strategies was used in which each learning cycle selected an item mode admitted a triple response. The first one refers to the skills offered by the (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) model perceived from the student's own personal experience. The second dimension referred to the motivational learning strategies and finally the degree of acceptance of the didactic model. The application of this model demonstrates the development of the effective dimension of technology to work collaboratively and the acceptance of the construct. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) as a means for training university students in I + D + i activities.
