    Cultivo Concertado vs. Crecimiento Natural Nuevas narrativas en Educación Superior Caso de estudio Centro Universitario de Sur Oriente -CUNSURORI-USAC
    (Red Académica Internacional de Investigación (RIIA), 2025) Olga Edith Ruiz
    Addressing the issue of inequality within higher education is complex, as it involves—among other things—predictors of academic success and failure (such as socioeconomic status, gender, and ethnicity). When viewed through an intersectional lens, these factors foster and exacerbate social exclusion in impoverished countries. Consequently, the concepts developed by Annette Lareau—"concerted cultivation" versus "natural growth," as used in her 2001 study *Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race, and Family Life*—can be applied to a society like Guatemala’s, which is characterized by profound inequalities, exclusion, discrimination, and violence in all its forms. According to Lareau (2001), "concerted cultivation" refers to families where parents possess a middle-to-high socioeconomic status and a high level of education; they provide their children with favorable conditions for schooling and social interaction across various spheres (school, religion, sports, politics, social clubs, etc.). This allows children and young people to absorb their surroundings and apply these experiences to their daily lives, giving them a significant advantage over peers whose parents have low socioeconomic status and less education—a pattern Lareau (2001) terms "natural growth." This latter pattern acts as a negative factor in the development of children and young people, as they lack the resources to expand their social circles or access experiences that foster broad personal growth and the full development needed to succeed in the school system (Ferrada, 2018). These conditions are referred to as "new narratives." A comparison will be drawn between students in the Social Work program (at both the Technical and Licentiate levels) and university students in the Agricultural Production Technician and Agronomic Engineering programs at the Southeastern University Center (CUNSURORI) in Jalapa—part of the University of San Carlos of Guatemala (USAC)—drawing on a prior study of the University Center students' socioeconomic profiles conducted between June and November 2023. Lareau’s theory allows for a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by young people from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds and facilitates the development of proposals to improve their educational outcomes within the framework of these new narratives. educational narratives.
