- Abstract
Even though vocational education at the secondary level is focused on preparing students for the work world, in Chile, it has turned into a way to enter higher education. In this context, this research aims to increase the knowledge about educational trajectories of students in vocational education at the secondary level, by addressing two main areas: factors related to a preference for vocational secondary school and the future choice of these students to apply to a university. This investigation, thus, studied the association between a set of variables related to habitus and the preference for studying vocational education at the secondary level. Additionally, it investigated if having studied this modality in secondary education affects the probability that these students will apply to the universities of the Consejo de Rectores de las Universidades Chilenas (CRUCH, Board of Regents of Chilean Universities), after controlling for academic and socioeconomic variables. This investigation's results support the relevance of social predispositions on educational trajectories and highlight the role that the modality of secondary level education would have on the reproduction of the students' social differences.
