STEAM and Gender Strengthening the trajectories of girls and young people from public schools in Vil
Abstract
AbstractThe participation of women in STEM careers considers a complex web of gender barriers that make women consider that they hav,s as the educational training process continues and extends to working life, leaving aside a significant number of talents. In order, to subvert these gaps, it is necessary for educational centers to provide: (a) early attention to the gender gaps established betwe,en female students and also LGTBYQ+ groups, both affected by gender stereotypes, b) to incorporate work strategies for teachers and,students that invite technological and scientific innovation, through problem-based learning and design thinking, which through the,implementation of mobile FabLab laboratories, manufacturing and mastery for the use of technologies, strengthen the processes of tec,hnological innovation by using digital media; c) implement learning experiences based on developing scientific and technological act,ivities to promote STEM trajectories in women and the LGBTIQ+ community, through the use of new technologies for STEM/STEAM knowledg,e, participation in STEM laboratories and conversations with women leaders in these areas of knowledge; d) accompany the educational, trajectories of women and LGBTIQ+ communities, based on a comprehensive model of student monitoring that identifies and addresses t,he barriers that hinder the entry and permanence of these groups in the STEM/STEAM areas.Main objective: Strengthen the trajectories, of students, especially female students and students with socially marginalized identities in STEM/STEAM areas, through the deliver,y of evidence-based strategies in public schools. Specific objectives: 1. Develop project-based learning proposals and participatory, and democratic processes that, from a gender perspective, improve results in STEM/STEAM areas; 2. Strengthen teachers competencies, in STEM/STEAM areas to support educational trajectories from a gender perspective; 3. Develop the interest and motivation of girls,and students from socially marginalized identities in STEM/STEAM areas through enriched learning experiences in connection with univ,ersities and other schools in the Region; 4. Develop infrastructure and community capacities to strengthen STEM/STEAM in the city of, Villa Alemana (CMVA) through the implementation of Fablabs and a Community Research Center. 5. Support and accompany students in th,eir subjective experiences related to STEM/STEAM through their connection with research leaders. 6. Identify facilitators and barrie,rs to the development of STEM/STEAM pathways for girls and students from socially marginalized identities in secondary and tertiary, areas of knowledge, establishing democratic and challenging conditions in the classroom, in addition to generating a process of tra,cking student trajectories to monitor progress and support students to address challenging (design thinking) and enriched learning.,To strengthen learning, we will also implement laboratories (Fablabs and Community Research Centers) that have all the technological, conditions for STEM/STEAM learning and innovation experiences. We hope that this research will also contribute to the constructio,of an updated and situated theoretical framework on learning processes to STEAM subjects from a gender perspective that will provide, valuable tools and information for future studies of STEM/STEAM educational trajectories from a territorialized condition, aiming a,t technological and innovation development for the country.We will carry out a Research, Development and Transfer initiative with th,e leadership of CMVA, PUCV-EduInclusiva, PUCV-CIDST.
