In order not to make a mistake when choosing a profession, not to lose precious years of study in the wrong educational institution, it is necessary to determine your professional orientation in advance. Parents and teachers can become assistants in this, promptly directing the child to those activities that are interesting and enjoyable to him. The teenager himself can determine the profession for the future by studying the characteristics of his personality.
Instructions
Step 1
You can determine your future profession already in preschool childhood. It is believed that young children want to be doctors, teachers and educators. But these are just those professions with which the child is familiar: he sees how people work and imagines himself in their place. You should take a closer look at what games the baby is playing, what he is good at and what he enjoys. This is how special abilities are formed. For example, - he begins to read or draw earlier than his peers, compose poetry or music, cook food and come up with new outfits for dolls;
- shows great curiosity about objects, phenomena and events: asks about stars or plants, diseases or insects;
- tries to experiment with the object of study: disassembles devices, mixes paints, compares the strength of materials, etc.;
- sometimes concentrates on the task so deeply that he forgets about everything;
- easily grasps and holds a large amount of information if it touches the object of his interest; remembers more strongly and talks about it in more detail than other children.
Step 2
Questionnaires and tests to determine the propensity for a particular profession are carried out only with schoolchildren. The study is carried out in the following areas:
- children's priorities are being studied: what the child liked to do before school;
- what children like now, while studying at school: physical education or mathematics, reading or visual activity; coincidences with an earlier period of development are taken into account;
-from what activity the child enjoys: from communicating with other people or from working with devices; from playing on stage or solving a mathematical problem;
- is the child often drawn to do: physical exercise, reading, talking, making crafts, caring for animals;
- is the child ready for a long time: to play chess or read, talk, tinker, etc.
The priority of this or that type of activity is seen in the recurrence of needs, desires, readiness to do this for a long time. Even if the child himself cannot yet name and determine his profession for the future, an adult, upon receiving testing data, may have an opportunity to build a number of professions to which the child is inclined.
Step 3
Studying a child's personality and developmental level will also help determine the profession for the future.
So, a person inclined to study and work with nature must have: a developed imagination, visual-figurative thinking, good visual memory, observation, the ability to foresee and evaluate changing natural factors, patience and perseverance, the willingness to work outside the team, the ability to work in difficult weather conditions.
When working with people, a person must be well manifested: the desire for communication, the ability to easily come into contact with strangers, benevolence and responsiveness, endurance, the ability to analyze the behavior of others, the ability to listen, take into account the opinion of another person, the ability to use facial expressions and gestures, the ability settle differences between people.
When working with technology, good coordination of movements, accurate visual and auditory perception, developed technical and creative thinking, the ability to switch and concentrate, and observation are diagnosed.
