Resumen

La elección de carrera es un proceso complejo influenciado por diversos factores, entre los que destacan las expectativas sobre el futuro profesional. Históricamente se ha encontrado que las disciplinas STEM tienen una subrepresentación en comparación con otras, así mismo se ha notado que del porcentaje de estudiantes que eligen estas disciplinas la mayoría son hombres. El objetivo de esta revisión sistemática fue identificar los estudios empíricos acerca de las expectativas de carrera de los estudiantes y su influencia en la acción de elección carreras asociadas a disciplinas STEM. Esta revisión sistemática se limita a estudios realizados en poblaciones de estudiantes de secundaria y pregrado, publicados entre el año 2018 al 2024, usando bases de datos como SCOPUS, Dialnet, ERIC, Springer, Core y DOAJ. Se consideraron criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Se encontró que son escasos los estudios referentes a las expectativas de carrera y su influencia en la acción de elección de los estudiantes para estas disciplinas.
