Description
Summary:The educational practice of SENA instructors is a dynamic and reflective process that must be continuously analyzed and transformed according to the changing needs of the population. This research aims to study the effectiveness of scientific dissemination as an educational strategy, focused on strengthening the understanding of scientific concepts and fostering the development of multiple intelligences in the learning environment. A case study was conducted with 17 technical level apprentices and 23 technological level apprentices in the Dyeing and Finishing and Market Management programs, respectively, at the Textile and Leather Manufacturing Center of SENA, Distrito Capital. Initially, the understanding of scientific concepts presented in articles and videos was compared, followed by involving the apprentices in creating these materials, including English to highlight the importance of a second language in different contexts. The results show that scientific dissemination through multimedia tools, specifically in video format, facilitates the understanding of concepts. Additionally, involving apprentices in content creation significantly stimulates soft skills and different types of intelligences, leading them to see themselves as natural scientists. However, barriers were identified in communicating in English, mainly due to insecurity in speaking, lack of vocabulary, and, to a lesser extent, apathy towards the language.
