Resumen

Mucho se desconoce sobre aquellos que no terminan la escuela secundaria y es necesario comprender quiénes ingresan y completan programas alternativos de finalización de la escuela secundaria, como el HiSet (Examen de Equivalencia de la Escuela Secundaria), el GED (Examen de Desarrollo de Educación General) o el creciente número de programas estatales de equivalencia de la escuela secundaria. El propósito de llevar a cabo este estudio fue describir las percepciones de los coordinadores de programas de educación para adultos sobre cómo categorizar mejor a los posibles completadores alternativos de la credencial de la escuela secundaria. Utilizando un marco fenomenológico y entrevistas semiestructuradas, se entrevistó a 12 administradores de programas de educación para adultos sobre quiénes se inscriben y completan sus programas. Un análisis temático de estas respuestas indicó distintas categorías de individuos, incluyendo oportunistas (aquellos que buscan mejores oportunidades), excepcionales (aquellos con excepcionalidades, como una discapacidad, que les impidió completar un diploma de escuela secundaria tradicional), inmigrantes (aquellos que validan su aprendizaje en otro país o estudiantes de idiomas) y aquellos que han sido reformados de alguna manera (por ejemplo, aquellos con antecedentes de dificultades con situaciones legales). Al identificar estas categorías iniciales de estudiantes adultos que participan en programas de equivalencia de la escuela secundaria, los esfuerzos de reclutamiento, así como los propios programas, podrían estar mejor estructurados para satisfacer las necesidades de los estudiantes.
