Abstract

This study examines the impact of educational planning on students' specialization choices. The research was guided by a primary research question and two subsidiary questions, utilizing a descriptive-analytical methodology. The sample consisted of 155 third-year secondary school students from the Martyr Abidi Mohamed and Scholar Hajj Mohamed Ben Mustafa El-Konti secondary schools in ZaouietKonta. Data collection was conducted using a researcher-developed questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 26, involving the generation of simple and complex tables pertaining to the study hypotheses. The results indicated that students' personal preferences exert a significant influence on their specialization and study path choices. Furthermore, the guidance counsellor, who represents educational planning within the school environment, was found to have a limited impact on certain academic disciplines.
