Overview & Synopsis

This study aims to carry out an initial approach to the secondary education students ps regarding science teaching methods. The study also analyses the influence of academic level and gender on these ps. Two hundred and forty spanish secondary education students (112 women and 128 men) at different educational levels (but they are all from the same high school) have participated in this research. All of them have been administered a multiple choice test of 6 items each with four options. In these items each option offers a way of teaching. The statistical analysis of the results obtained allow us to conclude that: a) Students show a significant predilection for student-centered teaching methods; and b) Academic level has a significant effect on teaching method ps among students but gender does not. --- Resumo --- En este estudio se pretende llevar a cabo una primera aproximación a las preferencias de metodología en la enseñanza de las ciencias de los estudiantes de educación secundaria. También se analiza la influencia del nivel académico y género sobre dichas preferencias. Han participado 240 estudiantes de educación secundaria españoles (112 mujeres y 128 hombres) de diferentes niveles académicos (pero todos pertenecen al mismo centro educativo), a los que se ha administrado un cuestionario de opción múltiple compuesto por 6 ítems. Cada ítem tiene cuatro opciones en las que se ofrece un enfoque de enseñanza. El análisis estadístico de los resultados obtenidos nos permite concluir que: a) Los estudiantes tienen predilección por enfoques instruccionales centrados en el estudiante; b) El nivel académico influye significativamente sobre las preferencias en la metodología de enseñanza, pero el género no.
