(MDPI, 2024-03-01) Ponce-Delgado, Abel; Poceviciene, Rasa; Rubira-García, Rainer
This study has the aim of providing a theoretical–methodological strategy for the design and implementation of educational programs that favor the development of children’s creative potential in the context of museums as cultural institutions. It was carried out in two schools with the collaboration of the National Museum of Natural Sciences and the Royal Botanical Garden in Madrid, Spain, during an entire academic year. The emphasis of the procedure is based on multi-stakeholder participation and a multidisciplinary approach through workshops based on a collaborative methodology that promotes communication between the school as an institution, the teachers, and the museum facilitators, during the various phases of the intervention. The work with the children is supported by the creative problem-solving (CPS) methodology through the development of workshops in the museums, where the children were able to be the protagonists and manage their own learning process. The obtained results show the relevance of assuming a set of methodological principles and resources that can be replicated in future intervention programs, among which the school–museum collaborative communication, creative problem solving, the use of activity records, and the role of games and fantasy as mediators in the stimulation of creativity stand out
Scholarly discourse about women in the steam fields : an exploratory studyon scientific literature
(Dykinson, 2023-10-01) Buelvas-Baldiris, Tatiana; Rubira-García, Rainer; Poceviciene, Rasa
Women’s roles in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) are a pressing and prominent topic in global discussions and social agendas. UNESCO has reported that gender inequalities in STEAM education and employment lead to further disparities in status and income (UNESCO, 2019). This concern has significant implications for the industry and society, including self-reflection in scholarly literature. The goal of this research is to present an exploratory analysis of scientific discourse about women in STEAM using quantitative and qualitative methods. Firstly, we study literature reviews to grasp how academia shapes the knowledge in STEAM and conceives it as a field with a gender perspective. Secondly, we explore the scientific production in EBSCO to have a comprehensive analysis of how scientists are considering women in the STEAM sector. Last, we provide reflections for future trends intending to share critical insights into gender studies and STEAM fields.
