Abstract :This paper presents a concise survey of some general decision-making theories and especially some methods of
making educational decisions by adolescents. The educational decisions of adolescents by the end of secondary education are
essentially the same as their first vocational choices, since they are heading then for vocational education, either in postsecondary
or tertiary level. As the adolescents’ educational decisions are products of complex and parallel processes, the
conditions under which decision-making becomes necessary are firstly presented and then the main features of relevant
theories and methods are analysed.
