A methodological proposal to increase the interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in secondary education students

Abstract

There are numerous data and information showing the constant loss of interest of students of different educational levels by the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), especially when deciding the University studies to follow, and hence the shortage of professionals in this job segment. Starting secondary school studies many students find it difficult to confront themes of technical drawing or mathematics, and perhaps to a lesser extent to the implications that may have the socalled in the teaching-learning process Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). These evidences presented as main objective for this work, formulate and put in practice a methodological proposal to increase interest in the STEM in high school students. To achieve this is to design a landscape for learning that integrates a set of educational resources open to conveniently arranged to help the students of 1st and 2nd of ESO to improve your spatial vision and increase competition in mathematics through ICT, at the same time they discover applications and computing resources that will increase their interest in science and technology.
