Abstract
La baja participación femenina en el campo de la ciencia, tecnología e innovación
(CTI) es aún un tema por resolver. En efecto, este tipo de carreras se asocian al
género másculino y se piensa que existen otras carreras femeninas. En consecuencia,
la presente investigación se centra en el ámbito escolar y busca comprobar cómo los
estereotipos de género fortalecen esta brecha. Para ello, el estudio indaga
percepciones y estereotipos de las estudiantes sobre el rubro de la CTI, dilemas,
factores y actores que influyen en la elección de una profesión, y recursos y medios
por los cuales se informan sobre carreras técnicas o universitarias. En ese sentido, la
metodología elegida es de carácter mixto: cuantitativo y cualitativo. Como resultado,
se concluye que las adolescentes no tienen presentes los estereotipos de género; sin
embargo, desconocen el campo de las CTI y desconfían de sus habilidades para elegir
estudiar una carrera de este rubro. Esto último, contribuye a que la brecha se
mantenga. A partir de ello, se diseña el proyecto de Comunicación para el Desarrollo
titulado “+Científicas” con el objetivo de lograr que las adolescentes mujeres de 5to
de secundaria se interesen en el campo de las ciencias y confíen en sus capacidades
para elegir carreras de CTI como profesión. Esto último, a partir de una estrategia
comunicacional cuyas actividades están basadas en los enfoques de
eduentretenimiento, comunicación dialógica y comunicación para el cambio de
comportamiento
The level of female participation in the field of science, technology and innovation (STEAM) is still an issue to be solved. Indeed, these professions are associated with the masculine gender and it is thought that other careers are meant for women. In consequence, this research is focused on the school environment and seeks to verify how gender stereotypes tend to strengthen the gender gap in science. The study investigates perceptions and stereotypes of the students about the STEAM, dilemmas, elements and actors that influence the choice to study certain professions, and resources they use to get informed about technical or university careers. In this sense, the chosen methodology is mixed: quantitative and qualitative. As a result, it is concluded that teenangers do not keep gender stereotypes in mind; however, they are unaware of the field of CTI and mistrust their abilities to choose to study a career in this area, which contributes to maintaining the gap. Based on this, this Communication for Development project is entitled "+Científicas' ' and is designed to let female adolescents in 5th grade of high school get interested in the field of science and trust in their abilities to choose STEAM careers as a profession. This project is a communication strategy and it’s activities are based on the approaches of edutainment, dialogical communication and communication for behavior change.
