Resumen

Se presenta un modelo de educación STEAM fundamentado en el uso de contextos significativos para trabajar de manera integrada resultados de aprendizaje relevantes para distintas materias. El modelo recurre a metodologías de indagación y al uso de controversias socio-científicas para combinar el aprendizaje de matemáticas y ciencias, con el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico y la integración de valores fundamentales y culturales. La evaluación pre-test/post-test de un programa internacional de formación de profesorado de educación secundaria muestra un impacto en la autoeficacia y prácticas docentes relacionadas con la implementación del modelo. El análisis cualitativo de las reflexiones docentes revela que los aspectos más valorados de la experiencia formativa han sido la transferencia a la práctica, la utilidad de los recursos didácticos, los beneficios para el alumnado, la transformación metodológica y la oportunidad de intercambiar experiencias e ideas con los docentes participantes, como parte de una comunidad profesional de aprendizaje. Estos resultados son de gran interés porque nos muestran hacia dónde ir en cuanto al desarrollo profesional docente en el ámbito STEAM para conseguir un desarrollo transformador.
