The Factors Contribute to Career Adaptability of High‐School Students

Abstract

In 2017 and 2018, engineering applications and design process were given weight to with the updates carried out in the Physical Sciences Lesson Curriculum in Turkey. For the STEM education which is at the center of this update to reach its target, it is highly important that students accurately learn what engineers do, what their work field is, the characteristics they should carry and understand the nature of engineering. The present study aims to identify the perception of engineers of 5th, 6th and 7th grade middle school students through drawings. Research Methods: The study group of this research which is a descriptive

From Adaptive Readiness to Adaptation Results: Implementation of Student Career Construction Inventory and Testing the Career Construction Model of Adaptation

“…The CAAS, developed by Savickas and Porfeli (2012), was adapted for Turkish adolescents by Karacan-Özdemir (2016). A 24-item 5-point Likert-type scale (“1 = not strong,” “5 = strongest”), the CAAS consists of four subscales of concern (e.g., “Thinking about what my future will be like”), control (e.g., “Taking responsibility for my actions”), curiosity (e.g., “Observing different ways of doing things”) and confidence (e.g., “Overcoming obstacles”).…”

“…When the previous research on CCT is reviewed, it is observed that a significant number of studies have been conducted on career adaptability, which is one of the most essential concepts of the theory, and which refers to adaptability resources in the CCMA. For instance, career adaptability was found to be significantly related to self-esteem (Cai et al, 2015), career decidedness (Nota et al, 2012), career decision-making difficulties (Hirschi & Volero, 2015), hope and optimism (Buyukgoze-Kavas, 2016; Hirschi, 2014; Karacan-Özdemir & Yerin-Guneri, 2017; Santilli et al, 2014), and happiness (Patton et al, 2002). However, very few studies have attempted to fully evaluate the CCMA.…”

The Relation Between Life Goals and Career Adapt-Abilities: An Investigation of the Mediating Role of Hope

“…Kariyer uyum yeteneği ile ilgili ulusal alan yazınında yapılan çalışmalar incelendiğinde, son yıllarda bu konu ile ilgili araştırmalara ilginin arttığı ve çeşitli araştırmaların yapıldığı söylenebilir. Örneğin ölçek geliştirme (Erdoğmuş Zorver ve Korkut Owen, 2014), ölçek uyarlama (Büyükgöze Kavas, 2014;Işık vd., 2018;Kanten, 2012;Karacan Özdemir, 2016) çalışmalarının yanı sıra ilişkisel (Bölükbaşı, 2017;Karacan Özdemir, 2016;Kırdök ve Bölükbaşı, 2018;Mercan, 2016;Yiğit, 2018), nitel (Karacan Özdemir ve Ayaz, 2018) ve deneysel (Eryılmaz ve Kara, 2019;Kepir Savoly, 2017;Ömeroğlu, 2014;Turan, 2017) çalışmaların olduğu görülmektedir. Ulusal alan yazınında yapılan çalışmalar incelediğinde pozitif psikoloji bağlamında yapılan çalışmaların sınırlı olduğu söylenebilir.…”

The My Children’s Future Scale: Construct validity, measurement invariance, and reliability in a Turkish sample

“…Several studies have highlighted the importance of examining parent and adolescents’ perceptions simultaneously (Ginevra et al., 2015; Rogers et al., 2018), although researchers in Turkey have mostly examined adolescent perceptions of their parents’ support (Hamamcı et al., 2013; Karacan-Özdemir & Yerin Güneri, 2017; Öztemel, 2012). No studies have been conducted examining parental support and approaches towards their children’ career development.…”
