Revisión sistemática: Expectativas de carrera y acción de elección en el interés de los estudiantes por disciplinas STEM

The choice of a career is a complex process influenced by various factors, with expectations about the professional future being particularly significant. Historically, it has been found that STEM disciplines are underrepresented compared to others. Additionally, it has been observed that most students who choose these disciplines are male. The objective of this systematic review was to identify empirical studies on students' career expectations and their influence on the decision to pursue careers related to STEM disciplines. This systematic review is limited to studies conducted on high school and undergraduate student populations, published between 2018 and 2024, using databases such as SCOPUS, Dialnet, ERIC, Springer, Core, and DOAJ. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were considered. It was found that few studies address career expectations and their influence on students' decision-making regarding these disciplines.
