Ingresar a carreras de ciencias aplicadas: saberes y actividades intelectuales que son demandadas en el primer año y las consideradas relevantes por las y los estudiantes

Abstract

In this article we present some results obtained in the framework of a research developed in the context of the National Interuniversity Council (CIN) grants to encourage scientific vocations. It is part of the Research Project: ‘Admissions and entrants to the university’ (PI 40-C-796) of the National University of Río Negro (UNRN), and seeks to contribute to knowledge about freshmen and freshwomen to careers in applied sciences at the Alto Valle campus of the University and their relationship with university knowledge. Specifically, the aim is to identify what kind of knowledge and intellectual activities are demanded of students entering applied sciences courses based on a preliminary analysis of the prescriptive texts in which the curricular proposals of these courses are partially expressed, but also to identify what kind of knowledge and intellectual activities the students entering these courses assign greater significance in their entry to university.
