Cultural Capital Efficacy in Parental and Student Aligned Expectations for Postsecondary Matriculation

Abstract: This exploratory study uses a cultural capital framework to examine the critical issue of goal alignment between parent and student expectations in predicting postsecondary matriculation. Addressing cultural capital in terms of functional specificity, the research expands and contributes to the related literature by focusing particularly on aligned ambitions and by delving deeper into the documented "action steps" taken by students to reach their stated postsecondary goals. Also, by separating two-and four-yea… Show more

“…Moreover, when controlling for the covariates, cultural capital significantly and positively predicted educational aspirations of participants, β = .21, t (205) = 2.76, p = .006. The result is consistent with existing literature in its affirmation that cultural capital, specifically parental educational expectations, is strongly correlated with children's aspirations; the alignment and the action steps they take relative to university preparation predict university enrolment (Finnie, ; Maxwell et al ., ). In this way, parent and student aspirations for education, along with other cultural capital items, are actually dominant factors in university enrolment, regardless of family income and financial assets.…”

“…En esta etapa los jóvenes deben tomar decisiones que tienen un impacto importante en su futuro, como la de estudiar el nivel superior de educación. La aspiración de estudiar el nivel profesional se relaciona estrechamente con la decisión de ingresar en la universidad y es, de hecho, un fuerte predictor de la inscripción en la universidad (Maxwell, McNeely, & Carboni, 2016).…”

“…La expectativa de cursar estudios universitarios se encuentra presente en la mayoría de los niños, incluso ya desde el cuarto grado (Bozick, Alexander, Entwisle, Dauber, & Kerr, 2010); y mientras más temprano haya comenzado y más prolongada sea la aspiración de estudiar en la universidad, más probable será su inscripción en esta (Maxwell et al, 2016). Sin embargo, la expectativa de cursar estudios universitarios no se mantiene estable.…”

“…La propuesta tiene como objetivo valorar el aprendizaje de la aplicación de la integral definida al cálculo de áreas de objetos planos cotidianos, y se sustenta en la Teoría de Representaciones Semióticas (TRS) de Raymond Duval (2004), en la metodología ACODESA (Hitt y González-Martín, 2015) y en la modelación matemática (Arrieta y Díaz, 2015;Pantoja, Guerrero, Ulloa, Nesterova, 2016). Además, se promueve el uso de la fotografía y video (Jofrey, 2010;Ezquerra, Iturrioz y Díaz, 2011) de objetos cotidianos que manipulan los estudiantes, así como el manejo del Tracker y GeoGebra, que han dado buenos resultados en la motivación de los estudiantes para aprender.…”
