TYPOLOGY OF K.G. JUNG IN VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE WORK WITH STUDENTS OF GRADUATE CLASSES AT HIGH SCHOOL

Abstract

In our society, the issue of proper use of human opportunities is often ignored. People often deal with not their business, and as a result, it negatively affects on their own interests and on the results of their activities. This question is especially actually for graduates of a high school, who are choosing a future profession. The aim of the study – to substantiate theoretically and explore empirically the leading mental functions of high school of students (by K. G. Young) and, on this basis, to develop recommendations for choosing of their future profession. Materials and Methods. The object of research was the personality of the senior pupil. In the process of scientific work we used the theoretical and empirical methods, as well as methods of mathematical processing of data. Results and Discussion. As a result of theoretical research the essential aspects of the identification of the individual psychotype, which is based on the domination of certain psychic functions (by K. G. Young) were investigated. Empirically there was explored that determining of psychotype by the combined method (by double questionnaires and brief descriptions of psychotypes) is not sufficient for the definition of psychotype in senior pupils (psychotype was defined only in 46.9 % of respondents). It is substantiated that such method can be used in determining the type of professional activity in the process of vocational guidance work at school (such results were determined in 84.4 % of respondents). Among the respondents there were revealed: persons with a social attitudes for the type of activity – 7.4 %, humanists – 37.0 %, headmans/managers – 29.6 %, scientists – 26.0 %. In 46.9 % of cases there were identified the psychotype based on the fact that according to proposed method the results coincided twice or more times. Based on the analysis of the results theoretical and empirical research the complex psychodiagnostic method was proposed for the purpose to determine professional orientation of students. Conclusions. Complex method for the determination of activity type in graduates of high school, adapted and easy for use in school conditions was developed. Based on the use of this method in professional guidance in work with students that graduate high school could make recommendations for choosing their future profession.
