Representación visual institucional, autismo y elección de carrera en STEM: evidencia exploratoria de una brecha interdisciplinaria en educación superior 1: universidad de la frontera, Chile; 2: universidad de tarapaca, chile; 3: universidad de tarapaca, chile The choice of a university career is a decision based on the information available at the time of making the decision and depends on multiple variables related both to the individual and to the surrounding context. According to the literature, factors influencing career choice include job expectations, the possession of required skills and economic resources, gender, personal preferences and interests, as well as family and sociocultural environment. Among the most demanded careers within STEM disciplines, it has been observed that in the Faculty of Engineering and Sciences at Universidad de La Frontera there are two programs with higher preference among students on the autism spectrum. This work explores the role of visual representation of professions through images as a potential factor influencing career choice, and analyzes its relationship with the decisions of autistic students, considering gender differences. | |
