Las motivaciones juveniles en la elección de la enseñanza técnicoprofesional en tres contextos sociales e institucionales: Barcelona, La Plata y Santiago.

The aim of this research is to analyse the motivation of students from three cities to opt for Technical and Professional Education (ETP), taking into consideration the institutional design and social context differences among the three countries. From a qualitative perspective, a discourse analysis of semi-structured interviews aimed at men and women between 18 and 22 years from the three cities is carried out. The results show, on the one hand, differences in terms of motivation when it comes to opting for this type of education, which are due to institutional design, the prestige of studies or the city context. On the other hand, there are also similarities in terms of motivation among young people from the three cities that are beyond institutional design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
