Description
Summary:The research from which is derived the present research note aims to understand the way in which Mexican engineering students choose destinations of doctoral training (national or abroad). Thereby, I try to study two processes that converge in this decision: educational transitions in this level of education and leaving the country for academic purposes. This implies one of the main research challenges: developing an analytical model to link the two processes, and at the same time, realize the elements and actors involved in the decision and the ways in which they relate. The purpose of this paper is to shows the elements of this model, elucidating its construction and the assumptions underlying.
