Abstract

Objectives The purpose of the study is to provide basic data necessary to improve and develop the curriculum for career exploration and revitalize career education by understanding the actual experiences of students in the field of practical dance and examining the process of contemplating and exploring their careers. Methods This study selected 6 participants based on the theoretical sampling method and conducted in-depth interview. As for the analysis, the study adopted 3-step analysis proposed by Strauss and Corbin(1998), and con-ducted open coding, axial coding, selective coding, and also conducted member check and peer debriefing in en-tire process of analysis and interpretation to secure the veracity of the data. Results 132 concepts, 31 subcategories, and 20 categories were derived through ‘categorization of the career worries and exploration process of practical dance students’, which is an open coding. In ‘Structuring the Career Concerns and Exploration Process of Practical Dance Students’, an axis coding, a paradigm model was presented by conducting a paradigm analysis, and the attributes and dimensions of the categories corresponding to each component were analyzed. Finally, the core category of “Constructing the Career Concerns and Exploration Process of Practical Dance Students” was derived, and the connection between them was reaffirmed in the proc-ess of describing the results derived from the story outline development as a single story. Based on this, it was found that in the process of contemplating and exploring career paths, the contextual condition of “university edu-cation environment” and the mediating condition of “changed practical use environment” are important factors that affect career decisions. Conclusions The process of practical use students contemplating and exploring their careers deepened their worries about their careers and showed that they were determined by various attempts and efforts as they faced unstable reality amid various personal, social, and environmental factors. In the future, it is necessary to provide high-quality education to develop various career-related capabilities of practical dance majors and further re-search that can serve as the basis for improving the working environment and expanding the industry.
