Abstract
Existe una baja representación de las mujeres en carreras de ciencias naturales, tecnología,
ingeniería y matemáticas [CTIM]. Esto se relaciona con diversos factores, dentro de los
cuales la autoeficacia se muestra relevante. Así, el objetivo de esta investigación es analizar
cómo las mujeres profesionales de carreras de CTIM vivencian la influencia de variables del
contexto en su autoeficacia, a través de la exploración de sus experiencias tempranas, tanto en
el ámbito familiar y como en el académico, y las experiencias actuales, tanto laborales y
como aquellas vinculadas a la maternidad. De este modo, esta es una investigación cualitativa
con diseño de análisis temático, que utiliza entrevistas semi-estructuradas. Los hallazgos
muestran que el nivel de autoeficacia de las mujeres en carreras de ciencias influye en la
manera en la que vivencian su contexto, y a la vez, las experiencias del contexto han dado
forma y continúan influenciando su autoeficacia. Es importante señalar que las mujeres
entrevistadas son un ejemplo de cómo las variables contextuales han favorecido, en la
mayoría de casos, el desarrollo de una creencia de autoeficacia sólida, y cómo esta les ha
permitido involucrarse, desarrollarse y persistir en carreras de ciencias.
There is a low representation of women in natural science, technology, engineering and mathematics [STEM]. This is related to several factors, among which self-efficacy is relevant. Thus, the goal of this research is to analyze how professional women in STEM careers experience the influence of context variables on their self-efficacy, through the exploration of their early family and academic experiences, and current work and maternityrelated experiences. This research applies a qualitative method with a thematic analysis design, which uses semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that the level of self-efficacy of women in science careers influences the way they experience their context, and at the same time, the experiences of the context have shaped and continue to influence their self-efficacy. It is important to note that the women interviewed are an example of how contextual variables have, in most cases, favored the development of a strong self-efficacy belief, and how this has allowed them to become involved, develop and persist in science careers.
