The study was carried out with students from various secondary education institutions belonging to the four departments of the para-central zone, with the objective of obtaining different perspectives of future high school graduates on the study of careers in the Multidisciplinary Faculty of the Para-Central of the University of El Salvador.
A quantitative approach was used, consisting of three stages: planning, execution and data analysis. In the planning phase, a questionnaire with closed questions was designed for data collection. During the execution phase, it was administered in person in 49 secondary education institutions in the para-central area.
In the data analysis phase, the information collected through the survey was entered into the PSPP statistical software, performing frequency analysis and crossing of variables. The results were organized into sections, presenting quantitative information in tables and graphs.
2,376 graduates in participation (59% General Modality and 41% Technical Modality), of which 1,351 were women (57%) and 1,025 men (43%), highlighting the age of 17 years which represented 44%. 70% of those surveyed express interest in studying at the University of El Salvador, with the most in-demand careers at the Multidisciplinary Faculty of the Para-Central Zone being a Bachelor's Degree in Foreign Language Teaching with a specialization in English-French, Computer Systems Engineering and a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration.
