Abstract
El desempleo juvenil en Perú (30.7%) ha motivado la búsqueda de alternativas como el emprendimiento, donde el desarrollo de habilidades especializadas es fundamental para la inserción en un mercado laboral altamente competitivo. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar el impacto del prototipado e impresión 3D en el desarrollo de habilidades emprendedoras en estudiantes de Administración de la Universidad Nacional del Centro del Perú, Tarma. La investigación adoptó un enfoque mixto con diseño preexperimental y muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia, aplicando una prueba pedagógica validada por expertos (coeficiente de validez=0.906; Kr-20=0.737), entrevistas estructuradas y análisis estadístico con pruebas no paramétricas. La intervención incluyó pretest, programa de capacitación tecnológica en prototipado e impresión 3D y postest con 20 estudiantes voluntarios. Los resultados evidencian mejoras significativas en creatividad (45% logro esperado), resolución de problemas colaborativa, planificación estratégica (35% logro destacado) y capacidad de materializar ideas innovadoras. Se concluye que la integración del prototipado e impresión 3D en la educación emprendedora constituye una estrategia pedagógica efectiva y transformadora para fortalecer la formación integral de futuros emprendedores.
Youth unemployment in Peru (30.7%) has driven the search for alternatives such as entrepreneurship, where specialized skill development is essential for insertion into a highly competitive labor market. This study aimed to determine the impact of prototyping and 3D printing on entrepreneurial skills development among Business Administration students at Universidad Nacional del Centro del Perú, Tarma. The research employed a mixed-methods approach with pre-experimental design and non-probability convenience sampling, utilizing an expert-validated pedagogical test (validity coefficient=0.906; Kr-20=0.737), structured interviews, and statistical analysis with non-parametric tests. The intervention comprised baseline testing, technological training program in prototyping and 3D printing, and post-testing with 20 volunteer students. Results demonstrate significant improvements in creativity (45% expected achievement), collaborative problem-solving, strategic planning (35% outstanding achievement), and ability to materialize innovative ideas. We conclude that integrating prototyping and 3D printing into entrepreneurship education constitutes an effective and transformative pedagogical strategy to strengthen comprehensive training of future entrepreneurs in university contexts.
