THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CAREER KNOWLEDGE AND
CRITICAL THINKING WITH CHOOSING COLLEGE MAJOR
The match between a worker’s education and job has received much attention
in the literature. Studies have focused on the match between years of
CK schooling and the schooling required for the job, but the quantity of schooling
is only one way to consider the match between schooling and jobs. This
research considers the relationship between college majors and occupations.
Data from the National Survey of College Graduates are used to examine the
extent to which workers report that their work activities unrelated to the
college major. What degree fields lead to greater mismatch is explored as well
as the effect on the returns to schooling.
Students attend college and select degree fields in the hope of succeeding in the labor CT
market. One aspect of labor market success is the ability to utilize the investment in
schooling in future employment. Much research has been performed on the match
between worker education and jobs, with the focus on the relationship between the
years of schooling required for jobs and completed schooling (e.g., Cohn & Kahn, 1995;
Duncan & Hoffman, 1981; Groot & Maassen van den Brink, 2000; Hartog, 2000; Hartog &
Oosterbook, 1988; Hersch, 1991; Robst, 1995; Sicherman, 1991).

CHOISE OF MAJOR AND THE ROLE OF COUNSELING INTERVENTION (CI)
When choosing a major, students may take into account advice from their
parents, siblings, extended relatives, peers, and academic counselors. One
factor may have a greater impact on students than another. One factor may
have a more significant effect on students than another. While choosing a
major, students may also take consideration the research they
accomplished on their own to choose the most beneficial career path for
them.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this research was to figure out which CK and CT were more
prevalent among high school students in Indonesia. Additionally, CK and CT are
going to be assumed for the purpose to identify the variables which influence
college major selection. It will take time to get through this research. Particularly
through the descriptive approach, correlation, cross-sectional models, and
experiment research. To clarify CK and CT for high school students, adopt a
descriptive method. The cross-sectional model and correlation approach will be
used to predict and identify the variables influencing high school students' decision
regarding their chosen field of study. GOALS
02. METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH DESIGN
This study uses two research designs, namely, mediated
moderation and mix method. The first study was conducted as a
quantitative to assess the impact of persuasive, value-based
interventions on these variables, as well as certainty of career
and major. The second study involved a wait-list control group
to provide a mix-method experimental assessment of the effects
of persuasive, value-based, interventions on honors students'
development of vocational purpose and identity. We designed a
prospective, controlled, randomized trial to assess the impact of
a counseling intervention in addition to standard the study for
pre-test instrument with high school in Aceh Province, Indonesia.
STUDY 1
In the first study, the research design is a survey study with quantitave
methods. A cross-sectional research approach is an observational
(descriptive) research approach that measures the results and exposure
of research participants at the same time (Setia, 2016). This means that
data from the entire study population will be examined at one particular
time to analyze the relationship between variables. The design of this
study will also describe the demographic information of students who
were sampled in the study. It aims to understand the respondent's
external conditions, such as gender, socioeconomic status and family
structure. Then analyze the relationship with choosing college major
strategy.
STUDY 1. MEDIATE MODERATION ROLE
MEASUREMENT
Variable CK the instrument's development is based on various earlier
studies of career knowledge, such as Career Decision Making Self-
Efficacy (CDMSE) developed by (Betz, Klein, & Taylor, 1996)
Variable CT that measures the different components of motivation
with respect to critical thinking: namely the Critical Thinking
Motivational Scale (CTMS) developed by (Neuville, et al., 2004)
Moderation variable PS the instrument was developed by (Parker,
Tupling &, Brown, 1979); namely Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI)
Mediate variable VI the instrument was developed by John L. Holland,
Denise C. Daiger & Paul G. Power (1980)
Variable CCM the instrument was developed by (Kathleen M. Galotti,
1999); namely Decision-Making Survey (DMS)
POPULATION AND SAMPLING
The population in this study will be done in a few
high school in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Students
who were between 6 and 12 months before
graduating and planned to go to university were
invited to participated in the study. Those high
school have four majors, namely Natural Science,
Sosial Science, Islam Religion, and Language,
totaling 500 people. This technique is a random
sampling that allows every individual in the
population to have same opportunity to be
chosen, and then the most representative sample
will enable researchers to generalize to a
population (Creswell, 2014).
DATA ANALYSIS
This study was analyzed using descriptive, multivariate analysis (MANOVA),
correlation, and multiple regression. MANOVA is used because it looks for
influence between variables, with more than one independent variable and
more than one dependent variable. Correlation and regression are used
because of more than one independent variable. Correlations in this study are
operated to analyze the relationship between independent and dependent
variables, while multiple regression will be operated to predict the dependent
variable in determining the dependent variable. MANOVA, correlation, and
multiple regression will be operated using a statistical analysis program,
namely SPSS (Statistical Products and Service Solutions).
STUDY 2
In the second study, researchers used a mixed method. The mixed
method is a method used in research and focuses on collecting data,
then analyzing, and mixing quantitative and qualitative data in one
research format or series of research (Creswell & Clark, 2011). Research
that uses more than one approach will certainly give better results than
a single method. This is because the mixed method will reinforce one
another's results with the other results. Researchers use mixed methods
because it can produce complete data from respondents related to
increased about choosing college major strategy. The resulting data will
complement one another because not all data can be revealed with just
one approach but requires another approach to complete the data so
that it is more accurate.
STUDY 2. COUNSELING INTERVENTION EXPERIMENT
EXPERIMENT STUDY
Experimental research is research that seeks to determine whether treatment
affects the results of a study (Creswell, 2014). The magnitude of the effect
can be seen by giving specific treatment to a group (treatment group) and
not applying treatment to the other group (control group), then determining
how the two groups determine the outcome. In this study, researchers
provide treatment in the form of brief counseling workshop to the
experimental group, then the difference learning strategy will be seen with a
control group that is not given treatment. This research will be applied in a
true-experimental form.

EXPERIMENTAL IMPLEMENTATION SCHEME
CONTRIBUTION OF RESEARCH
This study has several contributions. For instance, there is limited research to
figure out which CK and CT were more prevalent among high school students
in Indonesia. Therefore, it is important to continue examining these constructs
and compare the purpose to identify the variables which influence college
major selection. It will take time to get through this research. From a
counseling intervention, it is important that counselors assess for the role of
parents and to predict and identify the variables influencing high school
students' decision regarding their chosen field of study.
