Abstract

Career orientation in senior high education plays a vital role in young people´s training, by providing students with the necessary tools to make decisions about their future, which can have a positive impact on their professional satisfaction and success. The article presented aims to propose a methodology that contributes to the improvement of career orientation towards basic science careers in senior high education. A study was carried out based on a bibliographic review of career orientation, using different theoretical methods, such as: analysis-synthesis, historical-logical, inductive-deductive, system approach, modeling; likewise, a group of empirical methods were applied, such as classroom observation, documentary analysis, interviews and surveys. The scientific result is given in the methodology, with its essential stages of diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation based on designed actions. In conclusion, the importance of stimulating students' motivation towards the study of basic science careers is confirmed, based on methodological approaches such as the proposed one.
