    Interviewing elites in the educational field
    (Oxford, 2019) Villalobos Dintrans, Cristobal Alejandro; Quaresma, María Luisa; Universidad Autónoma de Chile
    Elites can be understood as a group of people in possession of the highest levels of economic, social, cultural, and political capital. For this reason, these groups are considered key actors in understanding social inequality, the configuration of social structures, and the distribution of power within societies. In the field of education, elites tend to concentrate in a small, select group of schools and universities, forming a social context that is key to understanding processes of (social) mobility and the reproduction of social positions. The indisputable relevance of education in both the formation and consecration of elites make it almost impossible not to focus in the educational system when one is called to problematize the power of elites. Through a literature review surveying the available literature within the field as well as examples of previous research, principle epistemological, conceptual, and empirical frameworks necessary to address interviews with elites in the educational sphere can be observed. The chapter review three critical dimensions of the interview process: (a) design, analyzing aspects such as the potentialities and limitations of the different types of interviews, the issue of validity and, the question about the distance between interviewer and interviewee (b) contact and consent to participate, studding the identification, contact and pre-meeting stage and (c) the interview process, analyzing aspects such as the place of the interview, the cultural aspects involved in any interview, the objective and purpose of the interview, the knowledge and skills that the interviewer must display, and the dispute over the power and status that is displayed in this type of interaction. Researchers who study education and/or elite social classes and who want to deepen their understanding of a group of people might refer to this qualitative research process of studying elites in the educational field.

    The Massification of Higher Education and the Promise of Social Mobility : Tensions and Contradictions in the Contemporary Chilean Society
    (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022) Villalobos Dintrans, Cristobal Alejandro; Quaresma, María Luisa.; Torres-Cortes, Francisca; Universidad Autónoma de Chile; London School of Economics
    The massification of higher education is one of the most relevant educational phenomena of the last decades, especially in Latin America, where democratization waves have been quick and intense. Within this region, Chile can be considered an exemplar case of massification, experiencing an explosive growth of tertiary institutions, driven by the unregulated creation of universities and the expansion of private universities. Private higher education institutions offer diversified educational pathways and bear the mission of educating the lower and the lower-middle classes of Chile, becoming places expected to fulfill the promise of social mobility. This chapter seeks to reflect upon mass universities, discussing the relationship between enrollment in these institutions and the social mobility processes involved through a statistical analysis of national data. Thus, this chapter will distinguish the main profiles of mass universities – via clustering techniques – considering variables related to the students background (social and economic status, and academic achievement), students’ outcomes (employment rates and average salary), and university-level variables such as enrollment, level of selectivity, among others.

    Trayectorias y transiciones educativas en América Latina y el Caribe. Análisis desde un enfoque de género
    (Clacso, 2022) Villalobos Dintrans, Cristobal Alejandro; Opazo, Catalina; El Fondo de Naciones Unidas para la Infancia, UNICEF
    Como una forma de contribuir con evidencia y discusión sobre este ámbito, en este capítulo analizaremos las trayectorias y transiciones educativas en América Latina, a partir de un enfoque que busca visualizar con especial importancia las diferencias de género entre niños, niñas y jóvenes. Específicamente, contrastaremos las trayectorias teóricas —es decir, aquellas diseñadas por el sistema escolar— con las trayectorias reales que cursa cada estudiante a lo largo del sistema educativo, prestando especial atención a cuándo y cómo se produce el distanciamiento entre la trayectoria teórica y la real, y las posibles consecuencias y explicaciones de los procesos de desvinculación educativa que se producen a partir de esta separación. A la vez, miraremos las transiciones entre niveles o subniveles, dado que estas son hitos críticos en los que cada estudiante toma caminos específicos que afectarán su trayectoria educativa futura. De esta forma, y a partir de información secundaria disponible, estudios académicos previos e informes de experiencias, el capítulo busca contribuir al conocimiento de las trayectorias y transiciones de los niños, niñas y jóvenes, las políticas educativas implementadas y los principales desafíos y recomendaciones en la materia en la región.
