¿QUIÉNES ESTUDIAN SOCIOLOGÍA EN LA UNIVERSIDAD DE COSTA RICA?

Abstract

This article shows a section of the main results of the Characterization of the Profile of\xa0Active Students in the School of Sociology of the University of Costa Rica: its academicadministrative\xa0relevance. It was sought to recover a broad profile, beyond traditional\xa0conceptions, so that five dimensions of analysis were included, which are demographic,\xa0socioeconomic, academic, professional aspirations and the life project. This article\xa0describes the quantitative phase, which consisted in the application of a self-administered\xa0digital questionnaire. For the main conclusions, a young, Costa Rican, single population,\xa0resident of the Greater Metropolitan Area, and economically dependent on others was\xa0found. For many participants, Sociology was not their first university career option,\xa0but many decided to continue with it, while others asked for a transfer. For those who\xa0continued, their most recurrent professional aspiration was to find a stable and Sociology-related\xa0work, as a life project, linked to the career, in the short and medium term.
