Career orientations and migration attitudes of schoolchildren with different levels of giftedness

Abstract

The study is devoted to comparing the career orientations of schoolchildren (N=461) from the Omsk region, who have different levels of giftedness, and the search for relationships between their career orientations and migration attitudes. The method of determining career orientations by E. Schein and the scale of migratory attitudes of the individual S.A. Kuznetsova were used. Groups of schoolchildren with reduced and increased educational activity, gifted in one or more areas, were identified. It was found that schoolchildren with reduced educational activity significantly higher than in more active groups developed orientations towards professionalism, autonomy in work, stability of place of residence and work, and the desire to integrate different aspects of life. Migration attitudes of all respondents are expressed at the average level and are negatively related to the orientation towards the stability of the place of residence. The desire to migrate among gifted students has a positive correlation with an orientation towards autonomy in work, among schoolchildren with increased educational activity, in addition, there is a connection with career orientations for managing people and entrepreneurship.
