Abstract
Esta investigación cualitativa, basada en enfoques narrativos e interpretativos y
fundamentada en el socioconstructivismo, tiene como objetivo general explorar en la
experiencia de alumnos de menores recursos socioeconómicos becados en un colegio
privado internacional de la ciudad de Lima, Perú. Los objetivos específicos son
identificar los factores que influenciaron positiva y negativamente en sus experiencias
educativas. El interés en esta temática nace de la experiencia personal del tesista
como coordinador de un programa de becas en un colegio privado internacional en
Lima. Analizando las respuestas de cuatro alumnos becados a entrevistas semiestructuradas, se identificaron tres factores que influenciaron positivamente en sus
experiencias escolares: vínculos sólidos con compañeros, docentes y sus padres de
familia. Dos factores influenciaron negativamente en sus experiencias educativas: las
limitaciones iniciales que tuvieron con el idioma inglés, el cual es el idioma de
enseñanza en el colegio estudiado, y los sentimientos de incomodidad e inferioridad
hacia los demás estudiantes, ocasionados mayormente por ideas y prejuicios en torno
a las diferencias socioeconómicas entre ambos grupos. Investigaciones futuras que
podrían contribuir a tener una lectura más completa del impacto de sus experiencias
educativas como alumnos becados en un colegio privado internacional podrían
comparar sus desempeños académicos con alumnos no-becados como también
analizar sus trayectorias de vida después de haber egresado del colegio, con especial
énfasis en sus facetas personales y profesionales.
This qualitative study, based on a narrative and interpretive approach grounded on social constructivism, has as a general goal to explore the experiences of lowerincome students attending a private international school in Lima, Peru on scholarships. The specific goals are to identify the factors that positively and negatively influenced their educational experiences. The interest in this subject arises from the personal experience of the author as the coordinator of a scholarship program in an international private school in Lima. Analyzing the answers of four scholarship students to semistructured interviews, three factors were identified to have influenced their educational experiences in positive ways: solid relations with other students, teachers, and their parents. Two factors negatively influenced their educational experiences: their initial limitations with the English language, which is the language of instruction in the school studied, and feelings of discomfort and inferiority towards other students, caused mainly by ideas and prejudices based on the socioeconomic differences between both groups. Future research that could contribute to have a better understanding of the impact of their educational experiences as scholarship students in a private international school could compare their academic achievement to non-scholarship students as well as analyze their life trajectories after graduation, with a special emphasis on their personal and professional aspects.
