Abstract

In the field of science, the interest of students begins soon, but it becomes decreasing in the secondary stage, considering Science as something boring and unhelpful. The present research, included in the National Plan project (EDU2016-77007-R), is focused on Primary Education, at which point the emotions of the students begin to crystallize. The objectives of this research are to know the level of self-esteem and self-efficacy of Primary Education students, in addition to trying to find differences in sociodemographic variables such as sex and the course of students. The sample of our study is constituted by 151 students of 4th, 5th and 6th grade from different public schools of Extremadura and the sampling process that has been carried out to select the subjects surveyed has consisted in a non-probabilistic sampling of convenience or incidental . To carry out our research we opted for a non-experimental design, since we have not had control of an independent variable, nor have we carried out any intervention or treatment. In addition, it is a cross-sectional or transectional study, since the level and / or state of various variables are analyzed at a specific point in time. Among the most relevant results stand out the statistically significant differences in the course in which the students are enrolled.
