Conocimientos y actitudes hacia la biotecnología en alumnos de último curso de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria

Abstract: Resumen: Hoy día, muchos de los acontecimientos relacionados con la vida cotidiana tienen que ver directa o indirectamente con procesos biotecnológicos. Debido a ello y, dado que la biotecnología es una materia incluida en el currículo de la enseñanza secundaria obligatoria (ESO), se pretende conocer el nivel de conocimientos y la actitud hacia esta disciplina con la que termina el alumnado de esta etapa educativa. Para ello se realizó un estudio con 104 alumnos de 4º curso de ESO en la Comunidad Autónoma de A… Show more

“…The questionnaire employed for the study was designed to capture the knowledge about and attitudes towards biotechnology of students. It was based on previously published works (de la Vega-Naranjo et al, 2018;Occelli et al, 2011;Pedrancini et al, 2008) and adapted to meet the objectives of the present study. Questions were prepared, discussed, and agreed by all researchers.…”

“…Taking these data into account, the degree of knowledge acquired about basic concepts in biotechnology and its different applications (considering the educational level of the students) might be improved. Besides, conceptual errors that others pointed out have also been found (AbuQamar et al, 2015;de la Vega et al, 2018;Gaskell et al, 2006). Regarding the attitudes, they will depend not only on the purpose of each biotechnological field (the ones related to health are more favourable) but also on the organism involved.…”

“…This indicates that they may not know the procedures through which foods such as bread or cheese are produced, and possibly ignore that microorganisms participate in this process. However, students have a good knowledge of concepts more related to modern biotechnology (De la Vega et al, 2018). Students increase their disagreement with the use of biotechnology as there is an increase in complexity of the organisms used in these processes.…”

“…Así, hemos encontrado un porcentaje significativo que considera que las plantas no tienen genes (aunque sí las transgénicas) o que no es posible transferir genes de un ser vivo a otro. Estos resultados coinciden otros estudios en nuestro país y en otros contextos diferentes (AbuQamar et al 2015, de la Vega et al 2018, Gaskell et al 2006, Ruiz, Banet y López-Banet 2017b. Asimismo, también hemos identificado otros errores como que solo los microorganismos modificados genéticamente producirían antibióticos o el desconocimiento de su papel en la biorremediación.…”
