Pathways to gender equity in Latin America and the Caribbean
Gender gaps in mathematics achievement vary significantly across countries and over time, with particularly large gaps disadvantaging girls in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). This study examines changes in gender disparities in mathematics achievement among 15-year-olds across 10 LAC countries between 2006 and 2022, using PISA-OECD data. Employing a repeated cross-sectional design and fixed-effects models, we analyze trends and contextual …
El “Sueño Chileno” incumplido
En un contexto de creciente migración intrarregional hacia Chile, se ha ampliado la presencia de estudiantes extranjeros en el sistema escolar. Sin embargo, persiste una brecha de conocimiento sobre sus trayectorias hacia la educación superior, aspecto clave para la movilidad social. Este estudio aborda dicha transición educativa con datos de 428.296 egresados de enseñanza media entre 2017 y 2020, comparando estudiantes extranjeros y chilenos. Me…
Gender Segregation in Secondary School Course Choices
Upper secondary education shapes gender segregation in higher education and the labor market. This study shows gendered elective course enrollment patterns in Chilean upper secondary education across seven subjects, examines their consistency across socioeconomic contexts, and identifies school-level moderators. Using national administrative data from 2012–2021 and multilevel models, we find that students make gender-stereotypical choices regardl…

The new knowledge production in the social sciences and in the arts and humanities in Latin America
Overeducation and overskilling in Latin America
Occupational mismatch is a highly debated phenomenon in developed countries, but rarely addressed in developing economies. This study investigates the magnitudes of overeducation and overskilling in four Latin American countries in which tertiary education has expanded rapidly (i.e. Chile, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru). Using objective and subjective measures derived from PIAAC, we find that overeducation affects between 29% and 43% of the workforce …
Patrones y Predictores de Colaboración Docente
La colaboración docente puede promover el mejoramiento escolar, al generar intercambio de recursos y capacidades para la mejora de las prácticas de aula y, así, impactar en el desarrollo de los estudiantes. El presente estudio investiga los patrones de búsqueda de apoyo en 10 escuelas públicas chilenas, y sus predictores, mediante un diseño mixto que combina análisis de redes sociales y de entrevistas. Se encontró que los patrones difieren entre …

Understanding the structure of school staff advice relations
The centrality of immigrant students within teacher-student interaction networks
Changing schools
This article is concerned with the influences that are brought to bear on the design of school buildings and the effects that the design of these buildings have on those who teach and learn in them. The article also focuses on the ways in which design is altered in and through the practices of these occupants. We argue that there is a mutual shaping of design and practice in these schools. We deploy the theory of socio-genesis developed by Lev S.…
