Dimension 1: Formulating a Career Guidance Curriculum

 

Assessment of Students’ needs with group assessment instruments
Life Skills Development Project: Career development self-efficacy inventory, personal-social development self-efficacy inventory, and academic development self-efficacy inventoryVery useful instruments developed by the Life Skills Development Project; intended for group assessment based on the conceptual framework of the Missouri Guidance Competency Evaluation Survey and validated by the research team in local context. The authors stress that the group assessment instruments should not be a diagnostic or screening instrument for individual students. Instead, results of group assessment, for instance, conducted at the beginning of the senior secondary level provide information on students’ developmental needs as a whole and thus inform planning and implementation of school-based intervention programs.
