The Right

Since centuries ago, women have been seeking gender equity’s guarantee and even with the right to poll, divorce, work and education, it didn’t mean an equality of place in universities. Even though they are majority in Brazilian universities, this doesn't reflect itself in what relates to the permanence and career’s ascension in Exact Sciences field. A minimum number of women graduating in licentiate and bachelor degrees, though when they become researchers few ones achieve a productivity fellowship. Moreover black women’s situation is even more vulnerable. In basics education, a little number of women teaches disciplines related to Physics or Mathematics, making that students don’t fell represented. In this work is brought about a survey on ethnic/gender representativeness in database and together with students from middle/high school. The results of our study demonstrate that affirmative policies are needed to gender and ethnic equity in exact sciences yet. Not only in what refers to representativeness in researches and universities, but also aiming basics education’s schools. Encouraging the deconstruction of stereotypes and that more women, especially the black ones, can ingress on those graduation courses related to this scientific knowledge’s field.

We investigated the effects of our Bio-ITEST teacher professional development model and bioinformatics curricula on cognitive traits (awareness, engagement, self-efficacy, and relevance) in high school teachers and students that are known to accompany a developing interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. The program included best practices in adult education and diverse resources to empower teachers to integrate STEM career information into their classrooms. The introductory unit, Using Bioinformatics: Genetic Testing, uses bioinformatics to teach basic concepts in genetics and molecular biology, and the advanced unit, Using Bioinformatics: Genetic Research, utilizes bioinformatics to study evolution and support student research with DNA barcoding. Pre–post surveys demonstrated significant growth (n = 24) among teachers in their preparation to teach the curricula and infuse career awareness into their classes, and these gains were sustained through the end of the academic year. Introductory unit students (n = 289) showed significant gains in awareness, relevance, and self-efficacy. While these students did not show significant gains in engagement, advanced unit students (n = 41) showed gains in all four cognitive areas. Lessons learned during Bio-ITEST are explored in the context of recommendations for other programs that wish to increase student interest in STEM careers.

Recently, through the support from the Obama administration, the traditional STEM curricula (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) in high schools are being updated with integrated, applied STEM courses (e.g., technology and engineering) in order to enhance the “real world” applicability of scientific fields and ultimately to strengthen the link between what students learn in high school and college major choice. Using longitudinal survey and transcript data, this study examines whether taking these applied STEM courses in high school can predict higher odds of declaring a STEM major in college. The findings reveal that taking applied STEM courses in high school is associated with a higher probability of declaring a STEM college major for four-year students. Moreover, applied STEM course-taking is highly predictive of declaring an applied STEM major. Implications are discussed.

Tujuan dari kegitan ini adalah untuk pengenalan dan pengembangan rancangan pembelajaran STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) dalam meningkatkan Kompetensi Guru Kimia SMA dan SMK di Kota Madiun. Mitra dalam kegitan ini adalah guru kimia yang tergabung dalam MGMP kimia SMA dan SMK di Kota Madiun. Kegiatan diikuti oleh 21 orang guru. Metode dalam kegitan ini adalah trasfer of knowledge melalui kegitan workshop. Hasil kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah: (1) mampu mencari solusi atas permasalahan yang dihadapi guru kimia di Kota Madiun, ditunjukkan oleh peningkatan capaian pemahaman melalui diklat sebesar 26,36% (dilihat dari tes awal dan tes akhir), dan (2) Pemahaman guru terhadap STEM sebesar 83,81%. Harapan peserta dan mitra kolaborasi (MGMP Kimia Kota Madiun), kegiatan semacam ini dapat secara berkesinambungan, terutama menyusun dan mengembangkan Desain Pembelajaran Berbasis STEM pada materi kimia di Sekolah Menengah dan implementasi pembelajarannya.Introduction to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and the Development of Learning Designs to Pioneering Chemistry Learning with the Credit System in Madiun CityAbstractThe purpose of this activity is to introduce and develop STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning designs in improving the Competence of High School and Vocational School Chemistry Teachers in Madiun City. Partners in this activity are chemistry teachers who are members of the High School and Vocational High School Chemistry MGMP in Madiun City. The activity was attended by 21 teachers. The method in this activity is the transfer of knowledge through workshop activities. The results of this community service activity are: (1) being able to find solutions to problems faced by chemistry teachers in Madiun City, indicated by an increase in understanding achievement through training by 26.36% (seen from the initial test and final test), and (2) Teachers' understanding of STEM was 83.81%. The hope of the participants and collaboration partners (MGMP Kimia Kota Madiun), this kind of activity can be sustainable, especially compiling and developing STEM-Based Learning Designs on chemistry materials in secondary schools and the implementation of learning.
