Abstract

With the theme of vocational guidance (OP) in secondary education, we elaborate this article with the objective of carrying out a systematic review on Brazilian psychology studies about this topic. For that, we used five databases: LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences), Index Psi, SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), PePSIC and PsycINFO. At the end of the analysis we had 29 articles remaining, being 04 theoretical articles and 25 empirical articles. The most used theoretical bases were positive psychology and sociocognitive and communitarian theories. In the empirical articles we verified that the most frequent theme was the use of scales, that aim to measure the relation of the factors evaluated by them and the OP. As an example of these scales we can mention: Maturity Scale for Professional Choice - EMEP; Professional Counseling Scale -EAP; and Scale of Attribution and Efficacy for Occupational Activities - EAAOC. The scientific journals that most published works on this subject were those in which OP is the central theme of their publications. It has been observed that in the last years publications on the subject have decreased considerably compared to the last decade.
