Desarrollo del autoconcepto y autoeficacia a través de un programa de orientación profesional en Educación Secundaria

Resumo

Within the vocational maturity an important variable to take in account in an Orientation program, is to manage the Secondary pupils to acquire a realistic and positive conception about themselves in relation to their own values, goals, interest and abilities. It is also necessary for the pupils to realise themselves with good possibilities of social and professional integration. We attain an Orientation Program through tutorial -in the third and fourth year of secondary Education and the first year of higher Education- with the aim of providing the self-knowledge and the self-efficiency expectations through the training in analysis, reflection and investigation strategies and to form a contrast with their classmates about the necessary information, in order to reach the created objective. There has been attained a quasi-experimental and sequencial design with a non equivalent control group with a subject of 205 people in a balanced distribution with regard to gender variable. The results corroborate the program validity to the development of self-knowledge and self-efficiency sense so that starting from the similar situation of the participant groups (experimental and control) the experimental group will improve in a meaningful way according to the control group.
