Estilos de pensamiento e intereses vocacionales

Abstract

The purpose of this research, called "Styles of thought and vocational interests", was to analyze the styles of thought and their influence on the vocational interests of students in the third year of high school. In order to respond to the proposed objectives, an exhaustive research was carried out in various bibliographic sources. As for the methodology, a mixed approach was used that includes descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational elements. In addition, the Sternberg thinking styles test was applied, which contains elements related to thinking styles, and the CHASIDE test, which contains dimensions related to vocational interests. In total, 137 students of the third year of parallel high school participated: "A", "B", "C", "D", and "E". To compare the results, the Kruskal Wallis statistical test was used to validate the alternative hypothesis. As a result, it was shown that thinking styles do have an impact on the. vocational interest.
