The main aim of profession selection is to consider the own values and seek that personal selection would conform to the main values of her/himself. The subject of the research is the influence of subjects upon pupil’s profession selection The aim of the research: to ground theoretically the influence of values upon selection of profession and to analyse empirically the influence of values upon the peculiarities of profession selection. The following research methods were employed for ascertainment of the influence of values upon profession selection of a pupil: theoretical, empirical and statistical. The research was carried out in gymnasium in Joniskis and Zagare in December of 2009. 170 pupil (103 of them girl and 67 boy). The pupils were given an anonymous questionnaire of mixed type, which was made up of 12 questions. The analysis of the research results confirmed the working hypothesis formulated at the beginning that the value orientations, valuables of work, personal and other values, which influence upon selection of profession, are important for pupils. The analysis of the research results allows concluding that: 1. Just few of pupils are self-determines concerning their future profession and this is related to the reasons of non-selection of profession: uncertainty concerning results of examinations; it is difficult for pupils to decide between some attractive professions; pupils insufficiently know or don’t know yet, what they want; there is lack of information. Majority of pupils decide themselves, what profession to choose, but parents have also some influence upon the decision. Employees of school have negligible influence upon the selection of profession of their pupils. 2. The following value orientations are most important for girls: social, aesthetic, religious and theoretical; for boys – economic. For both girls and boys – political. 3. The main valuables of work for girls are perfection, independence and health; for boys – income, perfection, promotion. 4. The girls consider the values of family, health and politics as most important in their life, and, when choosing a profession, they value interesting job, finances and education. The boys mostly appreciate leisure, health and interesting job in their personal life, and, when choosing a profession - values of interesting job, education and possibilities of career. Upon evaluation of own valuables, it is necessary to perceive that no one profession and no one job can realize all main personal values. |
