“…This decision in parliament is an example of how a constructive and positive development can be halted, but at the same time it is interesting to see how this occurs, through changes made during the legislative process. It can be argued that the high dropout rates from upper secondary school is in part due to this poor status of career education (Vilhjálmsdóttir, 2010). The conclusion is that this policy from 1974 has had its costs.…”

“…Results of these studies have indicated a need for career development practices at the elementary and high school levels. The results of Vilhjálmsdóttir's (2010) study also revealed that career development practices can facilitate career understanding and, in turn, reduce the likelihood of students dropping out of school. This literature, although promising, is limited and does not specifically address Latino dropout issues.…”

“…One area of counselor training that has not been addressed in the literature pertaining to Latino students' school success that logically could play a critical role in a comprehensive prevention program is career development theory. Literature about career development practices in schools is scarce; however, a few evidence-based studies have been completed (Nazli, 2007;Vilhjálmsdóttir, 2010). Results of these studies have indicated a need for career development practices at the elementary and high school levels.…”

Academic success among Latino youth is low relative to other racial/ethnic groups in the United States. It is important that school counselors recognize factors that influence school success among Latino youth and develop strategies to assist those students in reaching their potential. The authors discuss Gottfredson's theory of circumscription and compromise as a framework by which school counselors can conceptualize school failure among Latino youth and devise developmental, contextual, and culturally sensitive interventions to improve Latino students’ academic and career success. They present a case study to illustrate ideas and discuss specific implications for school counselors and possibilities for future research.

“…La mayoría de las investigaciones realizadas en el área vocacional se han enfocado en el análisis de la estructura cognitiva (Martínez, 2005;Neimeyer, 1992b). Los índices más estudiados han sido la diferenciación e integración (Mau, 1997;Vilhjálmsdóttir, 2010). Existen pocas investigaciones realizadas con un abordaje cualitativo de los datos y, concretamente, que hayan elaborado sistemas de categorías para la evaluación del contenido temático de los constructos vocacionales (Neimeyer, 1989b), los cuales pueden ser una herramienta muy útil en el análisis de las versiones idiográficas de la RV.…”

RESUMENDesde enfoques teóricos diferentes, se ha señalado que la Rejilla Vocacional (RV) y el test Búsqueda Autodirigida (SDS) son instrumentos valiosos en el proceso de exploración vocacional. El objetivo de la investigación fue analizar la asociación entre las temáticas de los constructos vocacionales y los tipos de personalidad de Holland de estudiantes de bachillerato. Se aplicó el SDS y una versión idiográfica de la RV. Para analizar el contenido temático de los constructos vocacionales se utilizó un sistema de clasificación formado por 17 categorías agrupadas en cinco áreas temáticas (Intelectual, Personal, Social, Interpersonal y Laboral). Los resultados mostraron asociaciones significativas entre los tipos de personalidad y la categoría de constructos Desarrollo intelectual; los estudiantes con el tipo Investigador presentaron una frecuencia más alta en esta categoría en comparación con los de otros tipos. En la muestra de mujeres, se encontraron asociaciones significativas en las categorías Creatividad, Contribución social y Orden social: el tipo Artístico presentó con más frecuencia constructos de Creatividad, el tipo Social de Contribución social y el tipo Investigador de Orden social. En la muestra de los hombres, se obtuvieron asociaciones significativas en los constructos del área Personal, el tipo Convencional presentó una frecuencia más elevada de estos constructos. Se concluye que la RV y el SDS proporcionan información complementaria sobre los intereses y valores vocacionales del alumnado, y que existen algunos aspectos convergentes que presentan diferencias de género. La RV ofrece datos desde un enfoque cualitativo e idiográfico y el SDS desde el cuantitativo y nomotético.ABSTRACTIt has been mentioned, from different theoretical approaches, that the Vocational Grid (VG) and the Self-Directed Search (SDS) are valuable instruments in the process of vocational exploration. The aim of the study was to analyze the association between the thematic of the vocational constructs and Holland’s personality types of high school students. An idiographic version of the VG and the SDS was applied. A classification system, consisting of 17 categories grouped into five thematic areas (Intellectual, Personal, Social, Interpersonal, and Labor), was used to analyze the thematic content of the vocational constructs. The results showed significant associations between the types of vocational personality and the category “Intellectual development”; the students with the Investigative type presented a higher frequency in this category compared to those of other types. In the sample of women, significant associations were found in the categories “Creativity,” “Social contribution” and “Social order”: The Artistic type presented most frequently constructs of “Creativity”, the Social type of “Social Contribution”, and the Investigative type of “Social order”. In the sample of men, significant associations were obtained in the constructs of the “Personal area”, the Conventional type presented a higher frequency of these constructs. It was concluded that the VG and the SDS provide complementary information on the interests and vocational values of the students and that there are some convergent aspects that present gender differences. The VG offers data from a qualitative and idiographic approach and the SDS from the quantitative and nomothetic approach.
