Laboratorios abiertos: una propuesta para la mejora del perfil de ingreso y la captación de estudiantes desde la facultad de química de la UMU

Abstract

[SPA] Durante los últimos años ha disminuido de forma significativa el número de estudiantes universitarios de ciencias e ingenierías mientras que la sociedad europea demanda un mayor número de este tipo de profesionales. La mejora del perfil de ingreso en los estudios científicos y la captación de alumnos para los mismos son aspectos fundamentales en la actualidad para desarrollar estas enseñanzas. En este marco la Facultad de Química de la UMU ha diseñado una propuesta divulgativa y de acercamiento de la Física y de la Química, organizando una Jornada en la que alumnos de bachillerato realizan una serie de experiencias prácticas en sus laboratorios. La experiencia se ha evaluado a través de tres cuestionarios durante las diferentes ediciones de la actividad para reunir información acerca del perfil de los alumnos y su valoración de las actividades.

Nowadays, to improve the level in scientific studies and the recruitment of student are fundamentals to develop the grade studies. In this context, the Chemistry Faculty of University of Murcia prepared a Conference of Physics and Chemistry in which high school student performed a series of practical experiment in their laboratories. The experience was evaluated through different questionnaires to gather information about the profile of student and their assessment of the activities.
