The relationship of the choice of a vocational training specialty with the vocational orientation of schools graduates of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the results of career guidance testing of 1474 schools graduates from all the regions of Kazakhstan. A psychodiagnostic tool developed by Kazakhstani researchers and presented on the Bagdar.kz information website was used as a test. A correlation analysis of the results of the test to determine the self-esteem of interests, inclinations and abilities in various areas of professional activity is described, which demonstrates an assessment of 36 specialties distributed across 12 professional branches with the results of registration for the preliminary choice of the training specialty, as well as with the results of choosing specialized subjects for four UNT stages. The interrelations of the preliminary choice of the specialty of training were determined with the choice of specialized subjects during the UNT. Pupils whose test assessment of their abilities prevail in the same professional field are gaining more points in specialized subjects of UNT than high school students who have not decided yet.
Pupils who have previously decided on the choice of their future profession are gaining more points in specialized subjects of UNT than high school students who have not decided yet.
