Actitudes hacia la ciencia en estudiantes universitarios de ciencias

Abstract

We have performed a longitudinal study among university students, from eighteen to twenty three years old, and their attitudes toward Science. This attitude does not become neither linear nor more negative through successive years. In contrast, we have observed a «saw tooth» profile, which is clearer when the number of courses analysed increases and the sex variable is taken into account. In general, the maximums of one sex are coincidental with the minimums of the other.
