Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to categorize the self-awareness of Korean General high-school students’ and analyze whether there is a difference in educational aspiration and job decision level by type of self-awareness. Methods For this purpose, data from the sixth year of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS) 2010 were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 and Mplus 8.0. The number of samples used for the analysis is 1,366. Results First, the self-awareness types of 3rd grade general high-school students were divided into four types which are self-diffusion type, career identity laden type, search progressive type, and career-resilience laden type. Second, the educational aspiration of the self-diffusion type is significantly lower than that of search progressive type and of career identity laden type. Third, the level of job decision of each type of self-awareness showed a statistically significant difference. Specifically, the job decision level of career-resilience laden type is the highest, then that of career identity laden type is next, and that of search progressive type, that of self-diffusion type is the lowest. Conclusions Practical and academic proposals were derived based on the research results. At the practical level, ministries need to emphasize self-identity and self-esteem in the curriculum, and schools need customized support for each type of self-awareness. Students need to raise self-awareness and make efforts to develop self-directed career development. At the academic level, it was suggested that follow-up studies are needed on diversification of research subjects, multidimensional exploration of factors influencing educational aspiration, and illuminatation of self-awareness to improve career and job decision-making levels.
