Resumo
O interesse dos alunos por carreiras em STEM (Ciência, Tecnologia, Engenharia e Matemática) é influenciado por diversos fatores. Elementos como a identidade com a física e experiências relacionadas à ciência fora da sala de aula desempenham um papel fundamental nas escolhas de carreira nessas áreas. Este estudo analisa a relação entre interesse, competência e reconhecimento em física e a escolha de carreira em engenharia, bem como a influência de atividades extracurriculares nessa relação. Foram utilizadas as respostas de 282 estudantes de engenharia, coletadas por meio de um formulário do Google. Os resultados revelaram que a escolha de carreira em engenharia está correlacionada com o interesse, a competência e o reconhecimento em física. A análise de mediação mostrou que essa escolha está significativamente relacionada à competência e ao reconhecimento em física, mas não ao interesse, quando atividades e experiências fora da sala de aula de ciências são consideradas. O estudo conclui que o interesse, a competência, o reconhecimento em física e as atividades extracurriculares predizem significativamente a escolha de carreira em engenharia. Palavras-chave: Atividades extracurriculares em ciências, escolha de carreira em engenharia, interesse em física, competência em física, reconhecimento em física.
