The Effects of a Career Planning Course and a Computer-Assisted Career Guidance Program (SIGI PLUS) on Undecided University Students

Abstract

This study examined the separate and combined effects of a carreer planning course and a computer-assisted career guidance system(SIGH PLUS) on undecided university students. Seventy first and second year university students were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups (career planning course only; career planning course an SIGI PLUS; SIGI PLUS only: wait-listed control group). Pre and posttest measures were administered and an analysis of covariance was conducted to determine differences amoung groups for each measure. Significant overall differences between specific career treatment groups and the control group. Imlications for counselors are discussed.
