Análisis comparativo de la eficacia entre pruebas psicométricas y mentorías en la orientación vocacional de bachilleres de Baños de Agua Santa 2025-2026

Abstract

Abstract: This research compared the effectiveness of psychometric tests and personalized mentoring in the vocational guidance of high school graduates in Baños de Agua Santa. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design with 150 students, the impact on vocational clarity, satisfaction with the choice, and reduction of indecision was evaluated. The results indicate that the combined intervention yields better results than either approach alone, with psychometric tests being more effective in identifying initial interests and mentoring in reducing indecision and developing life plans. The study provides evidence for designing integrated and contextualized guidance models, optimizing resources in student counseling departments in areas with similar socioeconomic characteristics.
