Firstly individual, household, school and context characteristics of students planning to follow a math career are compared against the rest of the students by country. Then, a binary choice model is estimated to detect the factors associated with the probability of having a future aspiration in such careers. The results show that men and students who attend public schools have a lower probability of developing an interest in the pursuit of a math career; whereas students with high intrinsic and instrumental motivation to learn mathematics and a high self-concept in that area have a higher probability of pursuing a math career. Additionally, math related anxiety has a negative relationship with the probability of pursuing those careers. En base a los datos de PISA para Argentina, el trabajo analiza las características de los estudiantes secundarios de 15 años que tienen interés en estudiar carreras universitarias en matemática. En primer lugar, se analizan las características individuales, familiares, escolares y de contexto de esos estudiantes. Luego, se estima un modelo de elección binaria para detectar los factores asociados con la probabilidad de tener en estudiar carreras universitarias en matemática. Los resultados muestran que los hombres y estudiantes que asisten a escuelas públicas tienen una probabilidad menor de tener un interés en seguir una carrera en matemáticas; mientras que los alumnos con alta motivación intrínseca e instrumental para aprender matemáticas y con un alto autoconcepto en esa área tienen una mayor probabilidad de seguir una carrera en matemáticas. Además, la ansiedad relacionada con las matemáticas tiene una relación negativa. text/html application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/REPBA/article/view/1592 spa FACULTAD DE CIENCIAS ECONÓMICAS - UNIVERSIDAD DE BUENOS AIRES https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/REPBA/article/view/1592/2253 https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/REPBA/article/view/1592/2258 Revista de Economía Política de Buenos Aires; Vol. 13 No. 19 (2019): Revista de Economía Política de Buenos Aires; 101-136 Revista de Economía Política de Buenos Aires; Vol. 13 Núm. 19 (2019): Revista de Economía Política de Buenos Aires; 101-136 1853-1350 1850-6933 urn:issn:1853-1350repba.v19i05 Math career university degree associated factors highly-qualified human capital matemática carrera universitaria factores asociados capital humano altamente calificado Formation of Human Capital in Knowledge Intensive Service Activities: Factors Associated with Secondary Student’s Future Aspirations in a Math Career in Argentina Formación del Capital Humano en SBC: Factores Asociados con la Elección de Carreras Universitarias en Matemática en Argentina info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=ecopol&d=1592_oai
