Estudio de caso: experiencias y motivaciones de docentes sobre la creación de cursos y carreras en ciencias y tecnología espaciales en universidades latinoamericanas
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-02-05) Ubidia Incio, Roberto Adolfo; Herrera Álvarez, Ángela María
The present study was performed with the objective to gain insight on the state of superior education oriented to the space sector in Latin America by interviewing teachers who have proposed and participated in the creation of courses and undergraduate programs.: A case study was carried out by performing semi-structured interviews to five teachers from Peru, Costa Rica, Chile and Mexico. The results showed that the principal motivations of these educators were to support students, and the desire to impulse the national space industry. Superior education institutions have shown support to these projects and the important role of interinstitutional cooperation was observed to facilitate the process. From this research we can conclude that the overall experience of the interviewed teachers was positive. They found more easiness than challenges in the creation of courses and undergraduate programs in the space sector. There was more easiness in countries where the space industry has had previous development. Nevertheless, this was not the case for Peru, which might need to follow a gradual process to justify the creation of undergraduate programs in the space sector.
