HERNANDEZ GARCIA, Oliveria Esperanza y PADILLA GONZALEZ, Laura Elena. Students’ Expectations of Higher Education: The Influence of Family, Personal, and Schooling Variables. Sociológica (Méx.) [online]. 2019, vol.34, n.98, pp.221-251. Epub 09-Mar-2021. ISSN 2007-8358.
This article theoretically reviews the educational, socio-familial, and personal variables that impact the construction of high school students’ expectations of higher education. The authors reviewed the literature in data bases and meta-search engines, using selection criteria whose academic content incorporated theoretical and methodological results and conclusions and were published as journal articles, reports, congress reports, and graduate theses. The literature analyzed showed that variables like age, gender, prior schooling, family incomes, parents’ schooling levels, the level of cultural capital, and degree of success in high school studies played a very important role in this construction of expectations. Another vital factor is classifying the students’ expectations regarding higher education according to whether they 1) planned to only study; 2) planned only to go to work; 3) planned to study and go to work; or 4) planned neither to study or get a job.
