Abstract:

The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of guidance and orientation module from the perspective of secondary school 9th grade students. “Effectiveness of the Guidance and Orientation Module Questionnaire” was used as a data gathering instrument. Altogether, 7353 students at grade 10 were involved in the study. The results suggest “guidance and orientation module” offers limited help to the students in realizing their own potential and getting familiar with their academic fields. Besides the results suggest significant differences between students on the basis of gender, school type and the branch of the teachers who taught the module. In general, taking into account the some difficulties faced during the implementation process; in the long run, it is possible to say that the Strengthening Vocational Education and Training (SVET) project and the guidance and orientation module will have positive effect on strengthening the Vocational Education System in Turkey.
