Resumen
La Escuela de Química ha promovido programas y proyectos académicos como las Olimpiadas de Química que estimulen y mejoren el aprendiza-je de esta ciencia. Como competencia se identifican estudiantes de alto desempeño escolar y se promueven espacios de autosuperación sana y estimula el pensamiento científico. Después de más de una década de existencia, los datos se han compilado y organizado para analizar estadística-mente los primeros 10 años mediante el programa SPSS 11.5. Este artículo incluye análisis estadísticos para cada una de las ediciones, que incluye variabilidad y significancia. La información se presenta en forma esquemática, y considera variables como género, ubicación geográfica de las instituciones educativas y modalidad. Se obtuvo una diferencia significativa entre hombres y mujeres, (T= 2,961, P < 0,03 participación eliminatoria, categoría A) y (T= 3,640, P < 0,00 notas eliminatoria, categoría A). Un patrón similar se obtiene en la modalidad educativa y ubicación geográfica. Cuantitativamente, se demuestra el interés y entusiasmo creciente por la participación. ya han pasado más de 10 años, y la Olimpiada de Química en Costa rica es un programa consolidado, de alta credibilidad a nivel nacional e internacional que delinea futuros científicos en campos vinculados con las ciencias exactas y naturales.

Competition identified students with high academic performance and promotes self-improvement opportunities for healthy and sti-mulating scientific thinking. After more than a decade, data has been compiled and organized to statistically analyze of the first 10 years using SPSS 11.5. This article includes statistical analy-sis for each of the issues, including variability and significance. The information is presented in schematic form, considering variables such as gender, geographic location of educational insti-tutions and modality. A significant difference was obtained between men and women (T = 2.961, P < 0.03 eliminatory test, category A) and (T = 3.640, P < 0.00 qualifying grades, category A). A similar pattern was obtained in the modality of education and geographic location. Quantitatively demonstrates the growing interest and enthusiasm for participation. It’s been more than 10 years, and the Chemistry Olympiad in Costa Rica is a consolidated program, high credibility nationally and internationally that outlines future scientists in fields related to natural sciences.
