ABSTRACT
This article is the result of a study on the relevance and quality of articulation processes between
secondary and higher education in Nariño, Colombia. A mixed- method approach was used,
employing both statistical methods and qualitative analysis to understand managers', teachers',
and students' per ceptions of educational articulation. In a non-experimental, cross-sectional
design, data were collected at a single point in time, with no intentional manipulation of variables,
observing the processes as they occurred in their natural academic context. The study analysed
the articulation processes based on propaedeutic cycles, the public policies of the Ministerio de
Educación Nacional of Colombia and the inter-institution al experience s that link secondary
education with technical and vocational training programmes. Through this analysis, the
motivations and educational interests of the students were identified, as well as the strengths and
weaknesses of the articulation programmes. It was concluded that articulation between
educational levels is essential to improve the transition of students to higher education, but the
need to review and adapt the curricula of educational programmes to align them with the
demands of the labour mar ket and regional realities was highlighted. Furthermore, the lack of a
consolidated governmental strategy was highlighted, which limits the impact of these policies at
the local level. It is suggested tha t inter-institutional strategies should be deepened and teacher
training strengthened in order to improve the quality of the educational articulation process in the
future.

Nariño
RESUMEN
Este artículo es el resultado de un estudio sobre la pertinencia y calidad de los procesos de
articulación entre la educación media y la educación superior en Nariño, Colombia. Se utilizó un
enfoque de métodos mixtos, empleando tanto métodos estadísticos como análisis cualitativos
para conocer las percepciones de directivos, docentes y estudiantes sobre la articulación
educativa. En un diseño no experimental, de corte transversal, los datos fueron recolectados en
un único momento en el tiempo, sin manipulación intencional d e variables, observando los
procesos tal como ocurrieron en su contexto académico natural. El estudio analizó los procesos
de articulación a partir de los ciclos propedéuticos, las polít icas públicas del Ministerio de
Educación Nacional de Colombia y las experiencias interinstitucionales que vinculan la
educación media con los programas de formación técnica y profesional. A través de este análisis,
se identificaron las motivaciones e intereses educativos de los estudiantes, así como las
fortalezas y debilidades de los program as de articulación. Se concluyó que la articulación entre
niveles educativos es fundamental para mejorar la transición de los estudiantes a la educación
superior, pero se destacó la necesidad de revisar y adaptar lo s planes de estudio de los
programas educativos para alinearlos con las demandas del m ercado laboral y las realidades
regionales. Además, se destacó la falta de una estrategia gubernamental consolidada, lo que
limita el impacto de estas políticas a nivel local. Se sugiere profundizar las estrategias
interinstitucionales y fortalecer la formación docente para mejor ar la calidad del proceso de
articulación educativa en el futuro.

Introduction
The articulation between secondary and higher education in Colombia is implemented
through inter-institutional agreements carefully structured in educational projects that promote
comprehensive training and greater access to higher education for secondary school students,
consolidating life projects aligned to their needs (Fernández Quintana, 2020, Gómez Campo,
2000, Jaimes-Lara, 2013, Pérez Dávila, 2018). This is achieved through the implementation of
propaedeutic cycles (Ministerio de Educación Nacional, 2018), which allow students in grades
10 and 11 to link early to technical, technological and professional training programmes (Velasco
Peña, 2025; Gaviria Hincapié, 20 24). This articulation not only facilitates the tran sition between
secondary and higher education, but also, through comprehensive training routes to ‘improve
professional performance and achieve the purposes of the organisation and/or institution’ (Cejas
et al., 2019, p. 2), helps to respond to the needs of the environment and improves employment
and entrepreneurship op portunities for young people ( Sánchez Echeverri, 2024; Barrero et al.,
2022).
