Modelos de elección: programas y experiencias de libertad de elección en Estados Unidos

Abstract

This paper tries to show, through many examples, the great variety of possible forms to carry to the practice an ambiguous and so extensive concept as school choice in education. Other interest on this article is the classification of the school choice pro-grams and the synthesis of each type of programs carried out in the United States, the country that harder has supported the different models of school choice. The objective is to offer an useful instrument for everybody who wishes to deepen more in these analy-ses, besides to clarify the terminological field what makes difficult the understanding of this issue. This systematization can help to clarify the heterogenous models of election and to associate each one with different intentions in the educational systems.
