“…These findings are not surprising. Knight (2015) argued that the research and conceptual literature supporting the role of elementary school counselors in career and college readiness have largely been ignored; this is of particular interest given research findings indicating that ninth graders who enter high school with career planning skills are more likely to be engaged in school (Knight, 2015). Finally, the mean self‐efficacy for participants in schools with enrollments of over 1,000 students was higher than the mean for those in schools with enrollments between 501 and 1,000.…”

Grounded in Bandura’s (1997) self‐efficacy theory and Savickas’s (2011) career construction theory, this study examined school counselors’ beliefs about whether they can perform specific tasks related to supporting students’ career and college readiness. A national sample of school counselors (N = 2,047) completed the School Counselor Self‐Efficacy for Enhancing Student Career and College Readiness Scale (Baker, Parikh‐Foxx, & Martinez, 2017). Findings from a survey research design indicated that the extent of related training and the challenges associated with implementation of career service delivery were of concern to participants. Recommendations for training, practice, and further research are presented.

“…Knight (2015) states that introducing career options and information on tertiary education earlier in primary school can help students realize the important connection between education and vocational success for their future. This means that introducing career knowledge to primary students as early as they are at the lower grades would contribute to their success in the future.…”

A career developed through the optimization of one's potentials will irrevocably play a role in the development of self-identity as well as the psychological well-being of the individual. When children are introduced and allowed to explore as many career options as possible during their developmental stage, they are more likely to have a fruitful career development in the future. The preceding study showed that the career interests and knowledge of lower-grade primary students fit the Holland Career Categories: realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional (RIASEC). It was also found that the students' career interest and knowledge levels varied, with most in the low level. This second-year study aims to expand the results of the previous study by developing the use of Quartet cards as the media of career exploration for lowergrade primary students. By using the research and development method, this study develops Quartet Career Cards into three difficulty levels: low, medium, and high. The Quartet cards media have undergone feasibility tests conducted by experts in theory and media, as well as a series of field testing consisting of preliminary, main, and operational stages among a total of 266 primary students of grades 1, 2, and 3. A revision was made on several components including the images, information, colors, font sizes, illustration styles, and card sizes. The findings show that Quartet Career Cards meet the feasibility standards for the media of career exploration.

“…The grassroots nature of university counselors' professional ability highlights the job intermediary and education depth of university student work (Knight, 2015). In terms of the overall system of university student work, university counselors serve as a link and bridge in upper and lower communication.…”
