Diseño y evaluación de una intervención educativa sobre la pandemia de la COVID-19 y las medidas de prevención

Abstract

The crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has led most people around the world to make a change in their daily activities and has highlighted the need for scientific literacy. However, few studies have presented educational interventions related to preventive measures against COVID-19. In this study, we present a scientific literacy workshop on security measures against COVID-19 with Secondary Education, Upper Secondary Education, BA in Primary Education and Master's Degree in Secondary Teacher Training, with the aim of investigating their conceptions and reasoning about preventive measures against COVID-19. In particular, how information based on scientific evidence can influence decision-making in daily life and the decision to get the vaccine or not. Through a pre-post design, students' ideas and ways of reasoning are investigated in relation to security measures to avoid the spread of COVID-19. The results show that this educational intervention improves students' knowledge about the scientific basis and importance of prevention measures as well as their attitude towards vaccination.
