10. Summary of the thesis results

The research results show that 12th-grade students in Viet Yen district, Bac Giang province, have a fairly clear understanding of several aspects related to career motivation, such as: the concept of a profession, career motivation; manifestations of career motivation; factors influencing career choice decisions; difficulties in choosing a profession; consequences of incorrectly identifying career motivation; and solutions to help form appropriate career motivation. However, there are also some areas where students still have a poor understanding, such as: the level of knowledge about profession information; and the necessary steps to prepare for career choice. Furthermore, when considering different types of schools, we found that students in public schools have clearer career motivations than students in private schools.

11. Practical applications

The research findings of this thesis can serve as a useful reference for career guidance professionals in general, and for teachers in charge of career guidance in high schools, as well as for parents with children of high school age, to use in advising and guiding students to understand and orient themselves on the importance of career choice while still in school. This can help to reduce the number of unsuitable career choices among high school students.

12. Future research directions

If possible, further research should be conducted to develop plans and programs to support high school students in career selection and guidance, aiming to raise students' awareness and help them choose a suitable career for themselves.

The findings show that, Year 12 students in Viet Yen District, Bac Giang have clearly identified important aspects related to motivation of choosing a career, including career definition, motivation of choosing a career; signs of motivation for choosing a career path; factors affecting the decision to choose a career; challenges in choosing a career; consequences of incorrect determination of a career path; and solutions for shaping motivation to choose suitable careers. However, there are students having limited awareness in career information and inadequate preparation for choosing a career. When taking into account different school types, I realize that, students of public schools have clearer motivation for choosing a career than those at private schools.
