커리어앵커 기반 중학생 진로교육 프로그램 개발

Abstract

This study develops a career education program based on career anchors for middle school students to develop their career competencies. A survey was conducted on the needs of school field career education teachers and students, a draft of the program was developed based on the literature analysis and survey results. To secure the validity of the content of the program draft, this study identified the draft’s strengths and areas for improvement through expert evaluation. Subsequently, these were reviewed, modified, and supplemented for on-site evaluation. The field application was conducted with 82 students in five third-grade classes at C middle school in P Metropolitan City. The areas of improvement of the program (draft) were derived from the teacher’s reflection diary and student satisfaction survey, which helped develop the final program. The results reveal that the program’s core process was “Understanding myself through career anchors, connecting myself with the future world of work, and designing creative future jobs.” Through various activities, students identify their talents, abilities, motivations, demands, attitudes, and values and confirm their career anchors. Moreover, understanding and predicting the direction of future social and occupational world evolution are crucial in preparation for the changing occupational world. Finally, the direction of the future society and the possibility of one’s career must be considered when designing and creating a new job in the future. This study expects that by developing a career education program based on career anchors, middle school students can thoroughly understand their career anchors and acquire the necessary competencies to design their careers independently.
