Abstract

Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es estudiar las características de la educación recibida por los estudiantes de economía en Colombia. Para tal fin, se realizó un análisis de las condiciones socio-económicas, preferencias y desenvolvimiento dentro de la carrera, así como del marco institucional y académico a partir del análisis estadístico de una muestra de 3.404 estudiantes pertenecientes a 60 instituciones de educación superior que ofrecieron el programa de economía en el país durante el ano 2007. Se encontró que el 57,04% eran mujeres, que en promedio tenían 24 anos de edad, con padres que alcanzaron niveles educativos de posgrado y secundaria, ingresos por hogar entre 2 y 3 salarios mínimos, que estudiaron en mayor proporción en colegios privados (de calendario A), que sus principales fuentes de financiación fueron recursos familiares y crédito, que el 36,35% laboraron mientras estudiaron, que dedicaron 87 minutos semanales al estudio independiente por hora de clase y que consultaron tres veces en promedio por semana recursos bibliográficos. Adicionalmente, no se evidenciaron diferencias entre el número de asignaturas y créditos en los planes de estudios de programas acreditados y no acreditados, pero las instituciones acreditadas tuvieron un promedio mayor de monitores, junto a más recursos bibliográficos y físicos.
