Resumen
Abstract
In recent years, a decrease in interest in the study of scientific disciplines has been
observed, which highlights the need to foster students' intrinsic motivation towards these
fields. To address this issue, the creation of a science club focused on the study of
medicinal plants was proposed as a strategy to promote scientific interest among high
school students at Colegio Ciudad Montes.
The methodology adopted for this research followed a qualitative approach and involved
105 students from grades 7 to 10. The project was developed in three phases: first, the
students' perceptions of science and their intention to participate in the club was evaluated;
second, an experimental phase was carried out with 13 students who decided to be part of
the club, focusing on practical activities such as the study of the morphology and chemistry
of medicinal plants; finally, in the third phase, the results were shared with the educational
community and a survey was applied to evaluate the students' perception of the strategy
implemented and of science.
After analyzing the survey on the perception of science, it became clear that the students
of Colegio Ciudad Montes had a limited predisposition towards science and related
disciplines. Nevertheless, they emphasized the importance of science in society. In
addition, it was confirmed that practical activities that actively involved the students
improved their understanding and communication skills. The results presented also
generated enthusiasm among non-participants, highlighting the positive impact of working
with the science club. In conclusion, the club succeeded in changing students' perceptions
and attitudes towards science, inspiring others to join and reshape their personal views. This case highlights the importance of creating educational environments that allow
students to embrace knowledge, thereby influencing the promotion of science in different
scenarios
