The association of this attitude with factors like sex, age, school environment and teachers’ use of experiments has been researched.

Este trabajo muestra la actitud hacia las clases de Ciencias Naturales en Primaria. Los resultados se obtuvieron mediante un cuestionario realizado a 183 estudiantes de entre 10 y 12 años. Se ha investigado la asociación de la actitud con relación al sexo, edad, entorno escolar y empleo de experimentos en las clases. Los resultados muestran una actitud positiva; no existe asociación con el sexo o la edad, y sí con el entorno escolar, siendo más positiva en el entorno rural. Entre el subgrupo de estudiantes con actitud más positiva son más numerosas las chicas, no siendo concluyente este resultado por el tamaño muestral. Asimismo, entre los estudiantes y los maestros de primaria existe una percepción diferente sobre “qué es un experimento”, y no se observa que la actitud de los estudiantes se relacione con su percepción sobre la presencia de dichos experimentos en las clases de ciencias. 2017-10-25 2021-06-03T03:08:31Z 2021-06-03T03:08:31Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/1393 10.24320/redie.2017.19.4.1393 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/6268 eng https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/1393/1582 https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/1393/1587 https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/1393/1951 Derechos de autor 2019 Revista Electrónica de Investigación Educativa text/html application/pdf application/xml REDIE es una publicación del Instituto de Investigación y Desarrollo Educativo (IIDE).
