Abstract

Vocational guidance plays a crucial role in shaping students’ future career paths, especially during high school when critical life decisions are made. This study examines the pedagogical and psychological characteristics of vocational guidance for high school students, focusing on cognitive, emotional, and social factors influencing career choice. The research analyzes modern approaches to career counseling, including student-centered strategies, psychological assessment tools, and competency-based education. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study evaluates the effectiveness of vocational guidance programs in improving students’ career awareness, motivation, and decision-making skills. The findings indicate that integrating pedagogical and psychological principles significantly enhances the quality of vocational guidance. Practical recommendations for educators and policymakers are provided.
