Abstract(s)
O Ensino Profissional e as escolhas vocacionais merecem especial atenção
investigativa uma vez que os processos produtivos exigem uma sólida formação dos
trabalhadores. Este estudo descritivo, transversal e quantitativo, teve por objetivo comparar as
diferenças na escolha vocacional (opção pelo ensino profissional ou por cursos científico
humanísticos), considerando o percurso escolar prévio, o nível socioeconómico (NSE), o
autoconceito de competência e os interesses vocacionais. A amostra foi constituída por 150
alunos, com idades compreendidas entre os 17 e os 28 anos (M = 19,21; DP = 2,55), sendo 74
do género masculino e 76 do género feminino, e a frequentarem cursos profissionalizantes
(n=70) e cursos científico-humanísticos (n=80). Utilizou-se um questionário
sociodemográfico, a escala de autoconceito de competência e o Self Directed Search (Career
Exploration). Os resultados mostraram diferenças entre os alunos dos cursos profissionais e
os dos cursos científico-humanísticos, em função do NSE, sendo que os primeiros apresentam
um NSE mais baixo. Verificaram-se também diferenças tendo em conta o percurso escolar,
com 72% dos alunos dos cursos profissionais a assinalarem retenções ou abandono no seu
percurso escolar, bem como com os alunos do ensino profissional a revelarem um
autoconceito de competência, mais elevado no domínio da resolução de problemas.
Relativamente aos interesses vocacionais, os alunos dos cursos profissionais têm resultados
superiores nas características das dimensões realista, empreendedor e convencional. Os
resultados são discutidos considerando a importância de intervenções, sobretudo
multidisciplinares, que apoiem os alunos na construção do seu projeto profissional segundo
as suas características e necessidades.
Professional Education and vocational choices deserve special investigative attention, since productive processes require a solid formation of workers. This descriptive cross sectional and quantitative study aimed the comparison the differences of the choose between vocational choice (the choose for the professional education or scientific-humanistic courses), considering previous school level, socioeconomic level (SEL), self-concept of competence and the vocational interests. The sample consisted of 150 students aged between 17 and 28 (M=19.21; SD= 2.55), of whom 74 were male and 76 were female, and attended professional courses (n=70) and scientific-humanistic courses (n=80). A sociodemographic questionnaire, the competence self-concept scale and the Self Directed Search (Career Exploration) were used. The results showed differences between the students of the professional courses and those of the scientific-humanistic courses, as a function of the SEL, with the former having a lower SEL. Differences were also observed considering the early academic pathway, with 72% of students from professional courses reporting drop out on their school pathway, as well as with professional education students showing a higher self-concept in troubleshooting. Regarding vocational interests, the students of the professional courses have higher results in the characteristics of the realistic, entrepreneurial and conventional dimensions. The results are discussed considering the importance of interventions, especially multidisciplinary, that support students in the construction of their professional project according to their characteristics and needs.
