Resumo(s)
As novas tecnologias e a Internet assumem um papel central na sociedade e na
cultura actual. N este sentido, diversos autores têm enfatizado a necessidade imperiosa de
que a intervenção em aconselhamento vocacional acompanhe este movimento social.
Neste contexto, o estudo realizado teve como objectivo elaborar e avaliar uma
intervenção vocacional, baseada em recursos informáticos e no acesso à Internet, através
da adopção de um design de investigação quasi-experimental. Neste estudo participaram
128 estudantes do 12.° ano de uma Instituição de Ensino Público da cidade da Covilhã.
A análise dos resultados alcançados na fase de pré-teste permitiu verificar que a
Internet é a fonte de informação vocacional a que os estudantes mais recorrem,
confirmando a importância da utilização deste recurso em termos de intervenção
vocacional. Relativamente aos resultados obtidos na fase posterior à intervenção, estes
são, no seu conjunto, reveladores de uma atitude ainda mais favorável, por parte dos
participantes do grupo experimental, face à utilidade do uso da Internet, a qual põe
igualmente em evidência a utilidade do cd-rom de apoio facilitado aos estudantes como
instrumento de ajuda na procura de informação na rede. No referido grupo, verifica-se
ainda uma evolução da ansiedade aparente dos estudantes face ao futuro, acompanhada,
esta, de uma diminuição da orientação para o futuro. Em contrapartida, constata-se uma
mudança positiva nas crenças atribuicionais internas. O cruzamento destes dois dados
poderá indicar que, os estudantes ao tomarem consciência de que o seu futuro depende de
si próprios (crenças internas) e não de outros (crenças externas), aumentam os níveis de
realismo sobre o conhecimento das informações existentes, passando a planear o seu futuro
com maior detalhe e adquirindo uma visão mais crítica sobre a informação explorada.

In the present study, 128 students ffom the graduation year o f a public high school in Covilhã have participated. The application o f the referred vocational intervention allowed, through analysis o f the results obtained in the pre-test phase, to conclude, for exam ple, that Internet is the main source o f vocational information used by the students, confirm ing the importance o f the usage o f this resource in what relates to vocational intervention. In what concerns the results obtained in the phase posterior to the intervention, these are, globally, revealing o f an even m ore favourable attitude towards the Internet usage from the students, giving evidence as well o f the utility o f the cd-rom provided to the students as an aid instrument in the search o f information in the web. Also in the referred group, a particular evolution o f apparent anxiety was observed in the students, in what relates to the future accompanied by dim inishing o f orientation towards it. On the other hand, a positive change in the internal attribution beliefs was observed. Crossing these two data configures as an indicator o f students’ behaviour, which reveals that as they becom e aware that their future depends on themselves and not on others (external beliefs), their levels o f reality on existing information knowledge increase, hence starting to plan the future thoroughly and acquiring a more critic view on the information previously obtained.
