Resumo: This article analyzes the discontent caused by the decision of the University of Costa Rica (UCR) to establish an admission test in 1960. This requirement quickly confronted the UCR not only with students, but also with parents and various sectors of civil society. Likewise, this restrictive admission policy generated strong tensions within the UCR. Although the UCR authorities defended the objectivity of the admission test with technical arguments, this test discriminated in favor of those who had graduated from private, urban and day high schools. Also, the test had a significant gender bias, since the approval levels of women were lower than those of men.

Dicho requisito rápidamente enfrentó a la UCR no solo con los estudiantes, sino con los padres de familia y diversos sectores de la sociedad civil. Asimismo, esta política de admisión restrictiva generó fuertes tensiones dentro de la UCR. Pese a que las autoridades de la UCR defendieron con argumentos técnicos la objetividad del examen de admisión, este examen discriminó a favor de quienes se habían graduado de colegios privados, urbanos y diurnos. Igualmente, el examen tuvo un importante sesgo de género, puesto que los niveles de aprobación de las mujeres fueron inferiores a los de los varones.Cet article analyse le mécontentement suscité par la décision de l'Université du Costa Rica (UCR) d'instituer un examen d'admission en 1960. Cette exigence a rapidement confronté l'UCR non seulement aux étudiants, mais aux parents et à divers secteurs de la société civile. De même, cette politique d'admission restrictive a généré de fortes tensions au sein de l'UCR. Bien que les autorités de l'UCR aient défendu l'objectivité de l'examen d'admission avec des arguments techniques, cet examen était discriminatoire en faveur de ceux qui étaient diplômés des écoles privées, urbaines et de jour. De même, le test présentait un biais sexiste important, puisque les niveaux d'approbation des femmes étaient inférieurs à ceux des hommes.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2022-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/esbocos/article/view/8431010.5007/2175-7976.2022.e84310Esboços: histories in global contexts; Vol. 29 No. 51 (2022); 282-304Esboços: historias en contextos globales; Vol. 29 Núm. 51 (2022); 282-304Esboços: histórias em contextos globais; v. 29 n. 51 (2022); 282-3042175-79761414-722Xreponame:Esboços (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCspahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/esbocos/article/view/84310/51501Copyright (c) 2022 Iván Molina Jiménezhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMolina Jiménez, Iván2022-09-01T19:07:31Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/84310Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/esbocos/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/esbocos/oaiportaldeperiodicos.bu@contato.ufsc.br||esbocos@contato.ufsc.br||2175-79761414-722Xopendoar:2022-09-01T19:07:31Esboços (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
