Análisis del perfil vocacional de estudiantes de bachillerato para carreras de STEAM

Abstract

Abstract: This curricular integration work analyzes the vocational profile of high school students to identify factors that influence their choice of STEAM careers. The project was developed in three phases using the OSEMN methodology. A structured survey validated by the UTPL (University of La Plata University), entitled "Survey for High School Students on Vocational Profile," was initially administered to 303 students. After data cleaning and preprocessing, 272 surveys met the established inclusion criteria for the analysis. Additionally, 18 surveys were incorporated from students who expressed interest in participating in the survey to assess their vocational orientation, resulting in 290 participants. The incorporation of tools such as Microsoft Forms, Excel, and Power BI enabled data collection, transformation, processing, and visualization, allowing for the analysis of the vocational profile of high school students. Furthermore, the application of the OSEMN methodology has proven effective in structuring each phase of the study, facilitating the identification of key patterns in STEAM career choices. Given the model's scalability, it is essential to standardize the data cleaning and preprocessing processes to ensure their integration with future data sources. The analysis reveals that factors such as family support, perceived obstacles to accessing educational resources, and interest in STEAM fields are determining factors in career choice.
