고등학생들의 진로결정에 영향을 미치는 심리적 요인에 관한 연구－충남 지역 고등학교 3학년을 대상으로－

Abstract

This study is to find out how much the factors, independence variables, such as sex, school types (academic high school and occupation high school), parents' socioeconomic status, the attachment between parents and their children, and self-identity or self-efficacy have an effect on career decision ability of high school student, which is the dependence variable.We can have the following conclusions based upon this study.First, it is shown that self-identity or self-efficacy of high school students has an affirmative effect upon improving career decision ability. This implies that the education of self-identity formation is necessary in management of high school curriculum.Second, it is shown that the factors such as sex and school types have an effect on career decision ability in different ways. This means that the education in a high school should be suggested differently in approaching ways of educational system according to sex and school types.Third, it is shown that the students who have higher level of sense of self-identity are more likely to have higher level of the adaptive to school and future course plan, as Gordon(1981), Munley(1977), Salomone(1982), Harren(1979), and Taylor(1982) Suggest. This means that career counseling programs should, in various ways, be managed so that a school, a home, and a society may improve students' career decision ability.
