Pedagogical model for vocational culture

Abstract

The study showcases theoretical components immersed in the guidelines of pedagogical models aimed at a student community and understanding professional horizons, adapted to an assertive vocation and the training of integral professionals. Will it be feasible to present a pedagogical model that promotes Vocational Culture in an educational context? The general objective is: To develop a pedagogical model that favors vocational culture among fourth and fifth-year students of the Salesian College Pío XII in Coro – Venezuela. Vocational culture emphasizes the collection of values and practices that generate vocational responses. An expert in Salesian youth pastoral defines that this culture is not the result of strategies, but of an ecclesial conviction: "More than promoting vocations, it is necessary to be a vocational culture, that is, to shape communities that live vocationally." Llanos (2015). Previous experience warns that most students are unaware of tools that guide vocational culture.
