Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine whether the career decision making difficulties of high school students differ according to grade level, gender, perceived academic achievement, perceived social-economic level, decided and undecided students, and confidence levels of decision. The sample consisted of 508 students from 9th, 426 students from 10th, 349 students from 11th, 477 students from 12th grade, and the total was 1760 high school students. Revised Form of Career Decision Making Difficulties Questionnaire for high school students (CDMDQ-THR; Bacanlı, Doğan & Hamamcı, 2012) and Personal Information Form were used to collect data. MANOVA and t-test were used to analyze data. The results indicated that females’ scores on the CDDQ-THSR total scale, lack of readiness subscale, lack of information subscale and inconsistent information subscale were significantly lower than those of males. As the females’ grade level increased, the career decision-making difficulties scores on the CDDQ-THSR total scale, lack of readiness subscale, lack of information subscale and inconsistent information subscale scores significantly decreased than those of males. Moreover, results showed that as socioeconomic status and severity of difficulties increase the career decision making difficulty scores decrease for all scales of all students. In addition, these career decision-making difficulties scores for all scales of the decided students are significantly lower than those of the undecided students. The results of the study were discussed in relation to literature and suggestions for the future studies were made

Kariyer Karar Verme Güçlüklerinin Çeşitli Değişkenlere Göre İncelenmesi

Year 2013, Volume: 4 Issue: 40, 198 - 211, 30.09.2013

Abstract

Öz: Bu araştırmanın amacı, lise öğrencilerinin kariyer karar verme güçlüklerinin sınıf düzeyine, cinsiyete,
algılanan akademik başarı düzeyine ve algılanan sosyo-ekonomik düzeye, karar verme ve karar vermeme
durumlarına, karara güven derecesine göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını incelemektir. Araştırma grubu, 9.
sınıftan 508, 10. sınıftan 426, 11. sınıftan 349 ve 12. sınıftan 477 olmak üzere toplam 1760 öğrenciden
oluşmaktadır. Veri toplamak için lise öğrencileri için Kariyer Karar Verme Güçlükleri Ölçeği’nin
revize edilmiş formu (KKVGÖ-LFR, Bacanlı, Doğan ve Hamamcı, 2012) ve Demografik Bilgi Formu
kullanılmıştır. Verileri analiz etmek için t testi ve MANOVA kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları kızların
KKVGÖ-LFR’nin tümünün ve Hazırlık Eksikliği (HE), Bilgi Eksikliği (BE), ve Tutarsız Bilgi (TB) alt
ölçeklerinin ölçtüğü kariyer karar verme güçlüklerinin erkeklerinkinden anlamlı olarak düşük olduğunu
göstermiştir. Kız lise öğrencilerinin sınıf düzeyi yükseldikçe kariyer karar verme güçlük düzeylerinin
erkek öğrencilere göre anlamlı şekilde azaldığı bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, sonuçlar sosyo ekonomik düzey
ve kararın önem derecesi yükseldikçe öğrencilerin kariyer karar verme güçlük düzeylerinin düştüğünü
göstermiştir. Bunların yanı sıra sonuçlar kariyer kararını vermiş öğrencilerin kariyer karar verme
güçlüklerinin kararını vermemiş öğrencilerinkinden anlamlı olarak düşük olduğunu göstermiştir. Bulgular
ilgili literatüre dayanılarak tartışılmış, gelecek araştırmalara yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.

Anahtar Sözcükler: kariyer karar verme güçlükleri, lise öğrencileri.
