contents Becoming a different person: the zone of proximal development in career guidance Barbara Bassot Educación Career guidance agency and participation zone of proximal development social constructivist approach “joining the dots” and “me and my future” methaphor This article examines an emerging social constructivist approach to career guidance, with a particular focus on the concept of the zone of proximal development. This is done by examining a metaphor used by one of the students who took part in a small scale in-depth qualitative study, all of whom were in the process of making their university choices. Some background to the study is given in or- der to set the scene and the theoretical lens for the study is then described, emphasising the active and social nature of learning. The metaphor used by the student (“me and my future” and “joining the dots”) is then described and interpreted in order to put forward understandings of the zone of proxi- mal development in the context of career guidance. In particular the role of agency and participation are highlighted as ways in which people can develop beyond the expectations of society. 2007 artículo científico 1139-7853 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=338230777002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3382 Revista Española de Orientación y Psicopedagogía application/pdf Asociación Española de Orientación y Psicopedagogía Revista Española de Orientación y Psicopedagogía (España) Num.2 Vol.18
