More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Career awareness is described as the manner by which students cluster jobs. The clustering of jobs was based on the students perceptions of similarities among job titles. Interest inventories were used as the bases to select 36 job titles. Seventy-eight high school students sorted the stimuli into several categories. The multidimensional scaling technique was used to analyze the data. Twelve clusters emerged using the criteria set by the authors. The findings suggest that the students’ perceptions of the jobs may vary from that of inventory designers. The counselors should be made aware of this problem. Implications of the findings for other components of career education are discussed. (Author
