Abstract:
Students’ career paths in Japan have greatly changed due to macroeconomic factors and the fact
that young people are increasingly opting not to participate in the labor force. The need to
provide education fostering motivation and qualities required for students’ future social and
vocational independence has emerged. The government-promoted career education policies
have become established as one of the pillars of youth employment policy. This study explored
the effects of career policies in school settings by identifying graduates’ earning capacity (annual
income) through an online survey followed by quantitative analysis of the results. We report the
evaluation of career policies by respondents, and then measure the effects of these policies on
both labor participation and income. Although the specific program we focused on did not show
clear effects, career education policies in general, and daily activities in elementary and middle
schools affect graduates’ incomes. We also identify other key attributes that influence income.

Awareness Scale for elementary school students. It has been found out that the characteristics of the
constructs of care awareness. The elementary school students; A total of 1,997 students. The 5th
grade was 975 students and the 6th grade was 1,022 students. After developing the Career
Awareness Scale with 32 items, the inventory was administered to 1,997 elementary school Students
in Korea. The internal consistency of the Career Awareness Scale was proved to be acceptable. The
Career Awareness Scale was validated by item analysis, confirmatory factor analysis. The result of
confirmatory factor analysis showed that the Career Awareness Scale was made of three-factor
structure. Examination of the item descriptive statistics and confirmatory factor analysis in the 32-item
final scale. As the REMEA index for the model fit was below .05, the model showed a good result. The
three-factor structure of the Career Awareness Scale was made 1) self-assessment 2) job awareness 3)
career attitude. The three-factor structure of the Career Awareness Scale is represented by the
elementary school students. The Career Awareness Scale is a very useful psychological testing tool for
career counseling. The three-factor structure of the Career Awareness Scale was made 1) self-
assessment 2) job awareness 3) career attitude. The three-factor structure of the Career Awareness
Scale is represented by the elementary school students. The Career Awareness Scale is a very useful
psychological testing tool for career counseling. The three-factor structure of the Career Awareness

 Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a career guidance program to develop career awareness
among grade nine students in South Al Batina. The sample of the study consisted of 103 female and male
students and was divided into two groups: the experimental group consisted of 56 male and female students
and the control group consisted of 47 female and male students. The experimental group undertoo; a career
guidance program while the control group was given normal activities in career guidance. This study
adopted a quasi-experimental method. The results of t-test analysis showed a statistically significant
difference between the means of the two groups in favor of the experimental group. The results also showed
a statistically significant difference between the means of the experimental group in pre- and post
implementation of the career awareness scale in favor of the post- implementation, two-way ANOVA showed
statistically significance differences among the average responses in the experimental group in career
awareness without being affected by student gender or group interaction and gender.

Abstract
Research literature has been increasingly focusing on children’s career development, especially when school
contexts are considered. In the present study, we evaluate the efficacy of a short-term intervention program designed
to foster career awareness in elementary school. The sample consisted of 155 Portuguese fifth- and sixth-grade
students, aged nine to fifteen years old (M = 11, SD = 1). With a quasi-experimental design, the sample was divided
into two groups, namely, the participants in the program and the controls. We used the Career Awareness Scale for
Children and a sociodemographic survey. Analyses of covariance indicated a moderate effect of the participation in
the program in students’ career awareness (ηp2 = .06, p = .003). The results are discussed considering the school as a
key context for career education aiming at promoting students’ adaptability and involvement in the construction of
their life pathways

Teaching Module for Expanding Occupational Awareness of
Preschool, Second, and Fourth Grade Children.
Marotz-Baden, Ramona; Riley, Pamela
These three modular units for preschool children (eight-week unit), grade 2 (nine-week unit), and grade 4
(six-week unit) were developed to facilitate career education by reducing sex-role stereotyping of
occupations. (Final progress report of the project is available as CE 024 425.) Within each unit an outline
for each week's activities details objectives, materials needed, and procedures. Worksheets designed to be
mounted in student notebooks are provided for grades 2 and 4. The unit for preschool children
emphasizes the development of curiosity about and interest in an occupation. The unit outline, which is
designed for two lessons per week, is as follows: introduction to occupational clusters (week 1); session
1, flannel board and Me Doll activities, and session 2, socio/dramatic play, (weeks 2-7); and review (week
8). Emphasizing interest and ability, not sex or race, as critical factors in career choice, the grade 2 unit
contains thirty-six (four per week) group and individual activities in seven occupational clusters:
consumer and homemaking, construction, health occupations, public service, transportation,
communications and media, and business and office occupations. The grade 4 unit is based on five
sessions per week on these topics: Introduction to the Career Cluster Concept, Self and Family Awareness
Attitudes, Interdependancy of Occupations, Girls Can! Boys Can! ((Educational Preparation for
Employment)), and game review. (Brief sections on module revisions are included.) (YLB)

Globalisation, commercialisation, and

learning to play at KidZania Kuala Lumpur

ABSTRACT
This article examines KidZania Kuala Lumpur – an ‘edutainment park’ in
Malaysia – within the context of the literature on play and the literature on
globalisation. Changes in young Malaysian’s experiences of play resulting from
globalisation and global corporate interests point to broader changes in
Malaysian society. While KidZania claims to provide edutainment through role-
play, it seems that the children’s play is often highly structured. While the children
may appear amazed by KidZania’s impressive façades, this realistic environment
leaves little room for imaginative play. Furthermore, because the experience of
KidZania is essentially based around the production and consumption of regional
and global commodities, the label ‘advertainment’ seems justified. Many of the
issues raised in this paper actually reflect and reinforce broader issues in
Malaysian society – and appear to be exasperated by the recruitment of largely
young and potentially inexperienced workers. KidZania’s apparent weaknesses
as an educational destination also relate to broader questions about the
theoretical underpinnings of edutainment, the rise of education as a commodity
and the promotion of commodities in educational setting

A Prospective Study
Thomas E. Jordan
Pages 27-37 | Published online: 28 Jan 2015
A prospective study of 180 children from birth to age seven is reported. The
criteria at age seven was knowledge of occupations as indicated by a pictorial
test. The predictors were: seven aspects of the child and home at birth’s,
maternal IQ as tested when child was three years, a quantified description of the
potential stimulating characteristics of the home at four years; and a measure of
parental attitudes to schooling when child was age five. The data were subjected
to a multivariate regression analysis. Social class data were the prime source of
criterion variance.

Gendered paths: Educational and occupational

expectations and outcomes among adult
children of immigrants
Cynthia Feliciano &Rubén G. Rumbaut
Pages 1087-1118 | Published online: 17 Feb 2007
This article examines young adults’ educational and occupational trajectories
over a ten-year period using panel data from the Children of Immigrants
Longitudinal Study in California. While many of the young men and women in the
study are on straightforward paths to socio-economic success, others are falling
well short of their goals and imagined futures. Males begin with lower educational
and occupational expectations than females in junior high school, and are also
less likely to translate high expectations into realities in early adulthood. While
some occupational choices remain traditionally gendered, females are more
likely than males to aspire to and to attain the highest status occupations, even
those that are male-dominated. Early educational expectations are important
predictors of subsequent success for both males and females. But determinants
of outcomes differ significantly for men and women, showing how paths are
segmented not only by class and ethnicity, but also by gender
