Resumen
Resumen: La presente investigación tiene como finalidad analizar la relevancia de los procesos de orientación y reorientación vocacional ocupacional y su relación con la elección de la institución o universidad; como también analizar los motivos de elección de la Universidad Católica de La Plata en específico.
A partir de un marco teórico que define a la orientación vocacional como una acción y una práctica que acompaña y promueve la posibilidad de construir un proyecto de vida y enmarcado en el Modelo Teórico Operativo (MTO) (Gavilán, M, 2006) se nos permite poner el eje en el sujeto como activo en la propia búsqueda de su futuro; pero inmerso en una trama social desde una perspectiva compleja.
Para abordar la temática, se realizó una encuesta a 357 estudiantes de la UCALP con el fin de conocer cuántos participaron de procesos de orientación vocacional, los motivos de esa decisión, cómo eligieron su carrera y qué factores influyeron en la elección de la UCALP.
Los resultados evidencian que la orientación vocacional juega un rol crucial en el proceso de elección de la carrera universitaria, ya que los encuestados valoran el proceso de orientación vocacional o aspectos esenciales relacionados como son el autoconocimiento y la búsqueda de información. Aunque la mayoría no realizó un proceso, consideran valioso el espacio y la contención en la creación de su proyecto de vida.
Este enfoque permite comprender mejor el impacto de la orientación vocacional en las decisiones académicas y la elección de instituciones educativas, destacando su importancia como herramienta de apoyo en la construcción del proyecto profesional de los estudiantes.
