Resumo: | Taking as an empirical basis some of the data from a questionnaire applied to a sample of approximately eight hundred parents from three public secondary schools, this paper discusses how various categories of parents organise «hierarchies of excellence» through the «arguments for choice» that they prioritise when choosing their children’s school for entrance into secondary education (year 10 of schooling, equivalent to the year 4 of compulsory secondary education in Spain - ESO). The analysis of the data highlights that, in all segments of parents, a group can be found that attaches great importance to academic indicators; in addition, an unequal concentration of these groups was verified in the three establishments studied, which reflects a predominance of different types of public in each school. Thus, even though the importance attributed to the «arguments for choice» varies according to the educational level of the parents, in the cases studied the «hierarchies of excellence» are distinguished, above all, by the school variable. |

Del análisis de los datos destaca que, en todos los segmentos de padres, encontramos una fracción que concede gran importancia a los indicadores de naturaleza académica; verificamos, además, una concentración desigual de estas fracciones en los tres establecimientos estudiados, lo que refleja un predominio de diferentes tipos de público en cada escuela. De este modo, aunque varíe la importancia atribuida a los «argumentos de elección», según el nivel de estudios de los padres, en los casos estudiados las «jerarquías de excelencia» se distinguen, sobre todo, de acuerdo con la variable centro.Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS)Universidade do MinhoSá, VirgínioAntunes, Fátima20132013-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/1822/29108eng0210-52331988-590310.5477/cis/reis.143.93info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-21T11:55:58Zoai:repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt:1822/29108Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:45:34.302604Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
