THE LINK BETWEEN STUDENT PERFORMANCE AND VOCATIONAL PREFERENCE BASED ON HOLLAND’S RIASEC MODEL
Abstract
Vocational preference will affect students in their vocational decision making and train them about lifelong career management skills. Vocational choice covers the explanations about student’s features such as; career tendencies, learning styles, preferred working environment, weaknesses-strengths, skills. When students and teachers know students’ learning styles the academic success will increase because students will know the better way to study and teacher will know how to behave students that have different learning styles. Students will be able to determine their professional tendencies based on academic study and concrete results, rather than choosing one that is mostly common or demanded.
