Future expectations in secondary and high school students from a rural community in the state of Yucatan

Abstract

Objective: to analyze future expectations, which, from the students' perspective, are important; as well as to determine if the expectations are different for secondary level students compared to those of high school and to explore the behavior of future expectations in men and women. Methodology: a study with a non-experimental, cross-sectional design was carried out with students from two schools: a secondary school and a high school in the rural area. This work contributes to understanding the adolescent population of the rural area with which we work, since each approach contained in the questionnaire induces them to reflect and assess their current situation; In the medium and long term, it is expected that the results obtained provide elements that can be translated into Public Policies so that the Ministry of Public Education incorporates them into its educational programs and in this way the adolescent population at all educational levels can be trained as individuals capable of visualize and build their expectations for the future incorporating elements of modern life, but at the same time, valuing their origin and the cultural diversity of their present time, as well as the impact of modernity on their lives
