Description

In this study, we aimed to measure the effectiveness of a career education course for college students from various faculties. A total of 1,916 undergraduate students were asked about their career consciousness using the career action-vision test （CAVT） at the beginning and end of their course. The data collected were analyzed along with the participantsʼ grade point average （GPA） data. In Study 1, the demographics of the participants who responded at the beginning of the course but did not respond at the end were identified; those with higher GPAs tended to stay engaged. In Study 2, CAVT scores at the beginning and end of the course were compared. Overall, participants demonstrated higher action and vision scores at the end than at the beginning of the course. However, further analysis by attributes revealed the following characteristics. Vision scores at the beginning of the course indicated that male participants had higher scores than female participants, and participants over 20 years of age had higher scores than those under 20. Participants who were admitted through sports recommendations had higher action and vision scores than those who admitted through entrance exams. Those who enrolled in the second choice also had higher action and vision scores at the end of the course. Furthermore, there were no considerable differences in action and vision scores by department. In summary, this study confirmed that the effectiveness of career education courses could vary depending on different attributes.
