Taking into account several reflections, the
following complex definition was carried out by "OrientAction"
journal team based on seven Latin American counseling Surveys: Vocational /
Professional Orientation, is a process of pedagogical counseling to the
existential phenomenon: "Search for of schooling "in function of the
social construction of academic life projects in relation to working life,
which is framed in the ethical-existential conflict [Duty BE (Having + Doing +
Living / Living)-Desire Being, expressed
as "dreams" (studied in depth by the theories of desire) achievable
conflict through the construction of the Social SER Power (Having + Doing +
Being / Living)] which implies a particular moral position between the
sub-conventional minimum valuation and the post -Maximum Conventional thath requires psycho-pedagogical processes such as
the development of full self-determined perceptual awareness (attitudinal
awareness / emotional awareness), and emancipatory resilience, built as a
capacity for moral recovery and / or bio-psychosocial adaptation to highly
adverse and stressful situations, through the ethical and psychosocial
construction of transcendental ethical, ecological and solidary social
purposes, objectified in critical and emancipatory life projects. This
transitional task is constituted through the conceptualization, implementation
and evaluation of pedagogical actions oriented towards the identification of
aptitudes and efforts required to perform in general and/ or specific areas of
knowledge, harmonized with the search of an optimal development of the
potentialities of the human being in all its existential dimensions: Being ( To
Have +To Do + To Be); development that is evident in academic-labor projects
(Structured in transitional life trajectories) with ethically self-determined
or authentic criteria (Hansen, 2005), sustainable and socially committed. This
pedagogical process promotes existential reflection based on the identification
of three classes of potential resources: 1.Intra-personal: Attitudes and
Attitudes (Vocation, Discipline, Motivation), related to the trajectories of
professional life2. Interpersonal: Educational community.3. Institutional: Government and / or
non-governmental organizations.The pertinence of this pedagogical process that
can take place at any moment of the life cycle tends to be greater during the
relevant transitional phenomena of the academic and social trajectories
(Methodological Approach: Transitional Orientation).Brunal, Vázquez et al (R
