The research methodology of world view or weltanschauung in vocational school students is based on phenomenology, hermeneutics and existentialism. Those theories justify possibility to discover world view in human language. On the base of those theories the content and structural model of world view has been worked out and criteria for retrieving world view or its elements has been found. The comparative analysis of world view has been made on the basis of 120 final exam essays in Latvian language and literature in 2004, 2007 and 2011. Text analysis has been performed using program Weft QDA. The research shows that world view as a system of knowledge, confidence and attitude based on values in vocational school students is present in rare cases. The existence of world-view is confirmed by personified values (love, family, and understanding). However, in issues existentially important for young people, only fragmented pieces of knowledge and no skills to use it has been discovered.
