중학생 진로성숙 검사 개발 및 타당화 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to 1)develop an Career Maturity scale for Korean middle-school students and 2)test construct validation through covariance structure analysis. In order to answer these purposes, we first reviewed related documents and inventories, as to research the constructed factors which to develop an Career Maturity scale, then defined the concept of Career Maturity and the theological constructive model. They were included in 2 components of attitude and cognitive abilities for career maturity accordingly in 6 sub-components. 172 middle school students were analysed at pilot test and 749 students were conducted final test. Based on factor analysis and item analysis, 94 items were selected to final test items. Second, to examine the best fit construct model for career maturity, we assumed conceptual model for career maturity, model Ⅰ, base on CMI model(Crites, 1978) and proposed competing models base on the related studies that included the other components(behavioral) for career maturity. As a result of covariance structure analysis(AMOS), we confirmed 3rd order construct model include 2 components was the best adequate through the indices of best fit(TLI, CFI>.90, RMSEA=.052). Career Maturity scale of this study developed and examined can be applied future study for the gifted students who haven't decided their career decision because of their multi potentials and talents.
