Abstract
The present research deals with the analysis of self-knowledge and vocational and professional orientation for students between 15 and 16 years of age at the "Mario Cobo Barona" Educational Unit. The AF5 questionnaire by García Fernando was used, which has five dimensions: academic/labor, social, emotional, family and physical. Adolescence, an important stage in human development, is characterized by physical, emotional, and social transformations. As an essential part, self-concept has a significant impact on how adolescents perceive themselves and relate to their environment. This study emphasizes the role of self-concept in a person's balanced development and its impact on a variety of aspects, including academic and physical aspects. The non-experimental correlational cross-sectional study was conducted with 21 students from an educational unit in Ambato. The AF5 questionnaire, structured in five dimensions and with twenty questions, was used. An evaluation of the reliability and validity of the instrument was carried out in accordance with the specifications of the Ministry of Education. Informed parental consent and authorization from the educational institution preceded data collection. These results show that specific interventions are needed to strengthen the areas where students show deficiencies, particularly in the social and family dimensions, while maintaining and improving the areas where students already show good performance, such as in the physical area.
