Abstract
The present research provides evidence of the measurement properties of the Career Education and Development Scale-Junior (CEDS-Junior) and the Career Education and Development Scale-Primary (CEDS-Primary). Study 1 tested a theoretically informed three-factor structure of the CEDS-Junior using a sample of N = 381 junior high school students in grades 7, 8 and 9, and Study 2 tested the CEDS-Primary using a sample of N = 179 primary school students in grades 5 and 6. Three hypothesized factors were recovered from the data: understanding, action and attitude. These novel measures are a resource for exploring and tracking students’ career development learning.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
