Producción científica: Contribución a una revista › Artículo de revista › revisión exhaustiva

Resumen

Estudiamos los impactos de una intervención en la que se asignó aleatoriamente a estudiantes universitarios desfavorecidos a roles de liderazgo. En estos puestos, los estudiantes lideraron sesiones de información y capacitación sobre una nueva tecnología financiera en sus comunidades. Nuestros resultados indican que las estudiantes participantes mejoraron su rendimiento académico, medido por el promedio de calificaciones y los créditos completados, tanto a corto como a largo plazo. Estos efectos persistieron incluso durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Además, sus actitudes hacia la responsabilidad social y el compromiso comunitario mejoraron. Eliminar las limitaciones de oportunidades de liderazgo para las estudiantes universitarias desfavorecidas puede mejorar su esfuerzo académico, rendimiento y responsabilidad social.
