| Sumario: | This study investigated the effect of a stratospheric balloon project focused on astrobiology on the academic self-efficacy of university students in Peru. Using the Perceived Academic Self-Efficacy Scale, 154 students were evaluated, divided into experimental and control groups. The project offered practical experience in interdisciplinary research, linking astrobiology with other disciplines. The results showed a significant increase in academic self-efficacy, both in direct participants and non-participants, although it was more notable in the former. This increase in self-efficacy suggests that active participation in practical projects can strengthen students’ beliefs about their academic abilities. Additionally, it was observed that the project experience was equally effective in improving self-efficacy in students from both private and public universities, with no significant differences based on gender. |
