La familia como orientadora vocacional en la elección de la carrera universitaria en estudiantes de tercero de bachillerato

Abstract

As a fundamental nucleus of the home, the family is one of the groups in which the members receive support in making decisions regarding the choice of higher education careers. All this guarantees the students the discovery of their abilities, their values and connects them with professional and job training. This study aimed to determine the influence of the family as a guidance counselor in the choice of a university career in third-year high school students attending the morning section at “Unidad Educativa 16 de Abril.” The sample consisted of 39 students from the third year of high school in the morning session. The methodology was non-experimental, with a quantitative transversal cohort approach since the data were collected simultaneously. A frequent statistical-descriptive study supported it. The instrument used was the survey with 18 items, validated by the JASP software, obtaining Cronbach's Alpha with a value of 0.712. Among the results obtained, it was found that vocational guidance proves to be a useful tool in career decision-making without the influence of the family. It helps the student to decide about university studies, where there should be self-determination in their self-education.
