RESENDE, Gisele Cristina and PASIAN, Sonia Regina. Motivational inclinations of adolescents completing elementary school in Manaus from BBT-BR. Rev. bras. orientac. prof [online]. 2017, vol.18, n.2, pp. 232-247. ISSN 1679-3390. http://dx.doi.org/10.26707/1984-7270/2017v18n2p233.
The completion of elementary school is an important event in a young person's life, paving the way for educational and career choices, requiring self-knowledge of self and professions. This study aimed to characterize the motivational inclinations of ninth year students of elementary education in the northern region of Brazil, by examining the effect of the school origin, by evaluating, through the Photo of Professions Test (BBT-Br), 199 students of both sexes from Manaus public and private schools (AM), with an average age of 14.3 years. The results showed a motivational profile marked predominantly by the social sense (radical S), creativity (radical G) and logical reasoning (radical V), with specificities of interests according to sex and school origin. There were good indicators of BBT-Br reliability at this level of education.
