| Abstract (English): |
The aim of this research from an exploratory-descriptive approach, is to reveal the characteristics of self-efficacy, outcome expectations, barriers and support perceived by women who are studying their first year of Science and Technology (STEM) careers at universities in the Metropolitan Region of Chile. Through semi-structured interviews and qualitative content analysis based on the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), it was possible to identify three factors related to their career choice: personal, agency and contextual elements, which act by fostering or blocking the process. Despite choosing STEM careers, female students have doubts related to gender stereotypes and socioemotional aspects such as anxiety and low tolerance to frustration. However, a positive self-efficacy and outcome expectations, family support and women's student networks act as important drivers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo conocer, desde un enfoque exploratorio-descriptivo, las características de la autoeficacia, expectativas de resultado, barreras y apoyos percibidos por mujeres que han ingresado a primer año de carreras de pregrado de ciencias y tecnología (STEM) en universidades de la Región Metropolitana de Chile. Mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas y análisis cualitativo de contenido, basado en la teoría sociocognitiva de desarrollo de carrera, fue posible identificar tres factores asociados a la elección de carrera: personales, de agencia y contextuales, que actúan promoviendo o frenando el proceso. A pesar de escoger estas carreras, persisten, en las estudiantes, dudas relacionadas con estereotipos de género y aspectos socioemocionales, como ansiedad y baja tolerancia a la frustración. Sin embargo, una autoeficacia y expectativas de resultado positivas, apoyos familiares y redes estudiantiles de mujeres actúan como importantes impulsores. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
