Cultural foundations of Latina resilience in STEM trades
This paper examines the cultural foundations of resilience among Latinas in STEM through the case of Chilean women teaching in Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs linked to male-dominated skilled trades. Based on semi-structured interviews, the study explores how culturally grounded repertoires shape women’s personal and professional trajectories and support their navigation of structural and symbolic barriers in masculinized STEM co…
Motivations and pedagogical beliefs of VET teachers
Vocational teachers in secondary education often enter the profession through industry-related pathways, bringing valuable practical expertise but often lacking formal pedagogical training. This study investigates two core dimensions: (1) the motivational factors influencing individuals to pursue teaching careers in Vocational Education and Training (VET), and (2) their pedagogical beliefs, with particular attention to the influence of teacher tr…
Understanding motivational beliefs of women in postsecondary STEM- vocational-technical education. Evidence from Chile
Women face many barriers to entry into and persistence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Drawing on expectancy-value theory (EVT) and using a qualitative approach, this study sought to deeply understand women’s entry and persistence in STEM-related postsecondary Vocational Technical Education (VTE) programs that lead to male-dominated skilled trades in construction, metalworking, and mining sectors in Chile. The …
Factores que influyen en la elección de la carrera docente en escuelas secundarias técnico-profesionales chilenas
A diferencia de los docentes de formación general (FG), los docentes formación diferenciada (FD) técnico profesional eligen la docencia como segunda carrera, luego de haber ganado experiencia en el mercado laboral. Este artículo examina sus motivaciones y percepciones distintivas en el ejercicio de la profesión docente, utilizando una versión adaptada del modelo de factores que influyen en la elección de la carrera docente (FIT-Choice).

Gender Differences in STEM Career Development in Postsecondary Vocational-Technical Education. A Social Cognitive Career Theory Test
Existing inequalities in STEM-related vocational-technical education (VTE) programs are more prevalent than within 4-year programs. Situated in Chile, this study tests whether Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) adequately explains career development among students enrolled in STEM-VTE programs. In doing so, it also examines how external factors such as supports, barriers, and secondary track differentially affect career development by gender. …
Reinforcing the STEM pipeline in vocational-technical high schools
Socioeconomic segregation between and within curriculum tracking
Patterns and Persistence of Educational Mismatch
The misalignment between workers' educational levels and the educational level typically required for their occupations, namely educational mismatch, has become widespread. However, despite its potential costs, there is little evidence of this situation in developing countries. Using longitudinal and retrospective data of employment histories between 2009 and 2019, this paper conducts sequence analysis to construct a typology of educational misma…
“Mujeres en terrenos de hombres”
En la Educación Técnica Profesional (ETP) secundaria existe una fuerte segmentación por género entre áreas formativas asociadas a distintos estatus y retribuciones salariales. En particular, las mujeres son minoría en establecimientos que imparten especialidades asociadas a los sectores de Electricidad, Metalmecánica y Construcción, donde las estructuras y culturas refuerzan la imagen masculina de las profesiones. A partir de 19 entrevistas reali…
Vocational education and social inequalities in within- and between-school curriculum tracking
Using rich administrative data from the Chilean education system, this paper looked at the link between curriculum tracking and social inequalities considering the way that tracking is organised: between- or within- schools. In particular, it examines the influence of socioeconomic status (SES) on track placement (general or vocational), and gaps in higher education access between graduates from both tracks. Result suggests that in a highly socia…
Labour market mismatch in emerging countries
One of the most salient characteristics of the recent evolution of Chilean higher education system is its rapid expansion. Conversely, the competencies required for the workforce have been slower to emerge. This paper examines the incidence of qualification and skill mismatches across different populations, across age groups, gender, and educational levels. The discrepancy between the qualifications and skills possessed by workers, and those requ…
