Abstract
AbstractThe 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.
