RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 El Uso Dual de los Vídeos Didácticos en Educación y Divulgación STEM: un Análisis basado en Encuesta A1 Lijo, Rubén A1 Quevedo, Eduardo A1 Castro, José Juan K1 Educational Courses K1 Educational Technology K1 Electronic Learning K1 Social Media K1 STEM Education K1 Videos AB The challenges associated with education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines can be mitigated using didactic videos, but there are other challenges when considering such potential resource. Amautas is a new platform that has been created aiming to facilitate the search and pedagogical integration of good-quality didactic videos, by proposing a set of structured courses while reproducing a YouTube-alike communication style and, therefore, addressing both scopes: STEM education and dissemination. To evaluate Amautas’ video-courses use and value for education and dissemination, a quantitative methodology has been followed through a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.906) with 489 participants. Overall findings show that the platform’s proposal has achieved a dual use of didactic videos for education and dissemination purposes (with respective 73% and 82.6% of positive responses for education and dissemination), and users declare a high positive perception on key metrics and descriptors for adequate content, format and communicative quality. In fact, 87.9% of participants agree that the contents help them understand topics of interest, and 88.5% that the presentation of contents is attractive and interesting. These results show a window of opportunity for further effort investment in the curricular alignment of STEM dissemination resources, fostering their incursion in real classroom scenarios.
