The Role of Motor Activities in Vocational Identity Development of Female

Abstract

Vocational identity is crystallized during adolescence and refers to the female adolescent's ability to know her qualities and defects, based on which she can decide on her future profession.Physical and sports education or the practicing physical exercises influence the decisional process – the cognitive (intellectual) process of controlling the female adolescents’ behavior in alternative conditions (Leonte, N., 2012). From this point of view, we thought we should emphasize on the existing relationship between practicing physical exercise and the choice of profession, and the intention of going to university, having in mind that the female adolescents’ vocational identity development and their career training represent one of the primordial objectives of the education process.The research methods we used are the following: bibliographical documentation, the direct pedagogical observation during the physical education classes, the enquiry method, the statistic-mathematical method, the graphic representation method.In the final testing, the groups participating in the experiment significantly increased their percentages of subjects that have chosen their profession, the significance threshold calculated by means of the dependent “Student” test being smaller than 0.05. After performing the tests, the subjects participating in the research are decided in what regards choosing the profession in proportion of 57.5% and 42.5% have not chosen their profession a thing which denotes a weak knowledge of themselves and an unclear way to follow in life. Our research data allow us to assert that the information – formation – awareness – self-organization – sports activity interrelation, where the female adolescents’ attitude is built up, ensures the motor skill self-adjustment and the motor behavior creative utilization in the permanently different life circumstances.
