Abstract

The Conceptions of Career Choice and Attainment (CCCA) model has been supporting research on children’s career reasoning, particularly in the USA. This study examines the applicability of the CCCA model to Portuguese preschool and elementary-school children. The CCCA interview was answered by 101 children (38.6% preschoolers, 61.4% elementary schoolers; M_age = 6.68). Results indicated that elementary schoolers present significantly higher levels of career choice and attainment reasoning than preschoolers. Future studies with middle schoolers are needed to keep investigating the model in Portugal. Studies in other countries would also be useful to encourage collaboration in childhood career development research and practice.

葡萄牙学龄前儿童和小学生的职业选择和成就观念

职业选择与成就构想（CCCA）模型一直支持着有关儿童职业推理的研究，尤其是在美国。本研究探讨了 CCCA 模型对葡萄牙学龄前儿童和小学生的适用性。101 名儿童（38.6% 为学龄前儿童，61.4% 为小学生；Mage = 6.68）回答了 CCCA 访谈。结果表明，小学生的职业选择和成就推理水平明显高于学龄前儿童。今后需要对初中生进行研究，以继续在葡萄牙调查该模型。在其他国家开展研究也将有助于鼓励儿童职业发展研究和实践方面的合作。
