Análise da produção científica em orientação profissional: tendências e velhos problemas

The objective was to analyze the scientific tendencies pointed by the national publications about Vocational Guidance from 2006 to 2010. A manual and boolean search was performed within the bases BVS-Psi and INDEX-Psi returning 108 articles, which were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. It was verified how much the production in vocational guidance has met the research agendas set by previous reviews and if the nomenclature used to refer to vocational guidance became more concise and homogeneous. From the results, it is pointed that 1) the number of articles in the field has doubled compared to the previous 5-year period; 2) there is more interaction among researchers; 3) there were more studies on other populations as retired people and low income groups; 4) there are more works about psychological tests. The results indicate that the agendas were partially met and there was increase in the confusion about the used nomenclature.
