The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship of the educational barriers perceived by high school girls and the connection between career decision-making self-efficacy with career decision-making level to make clear of the difference in between the educational barriers and career decision-making self efficacy.
In order to accomplish the objective of this study, following hypotheses are constructed.
1. There may be a meaningful correlation in the educational barriers perceived by high school girls and the relationship between career decision-making self-efficacy and career decision-making level.
2. There may be difference in the level with the perceived educational barriers according to the career decision status of high school girls in Korea.
3. There may be difference in the level with the perceived career decision-making self-efficacy according to the career decision status of high school girls in Korea.
In order to verify such hypotheses, this study employed Educational Barriers Inventory by Lee, Jong-Hee(2003), Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (CDMSES-SF) which was developed by Taylor and Betz in 1983 and revised by Lee, Eun-Kyung(2001), and Career Decision Scale (CDS) developed by Osipow, Carney, Winer, Yanico and Koshier(1980) that was adapted by Ko, Hyang-ja in 1992.
A survey was made at 4 general high schools located Dong-gu, Joong-gu, Dalseo-gu and Suseong-gu in Daegu Metropolitan City, targeting 250 girls students in the third grade. After the survey, a co-relational analysis and t-test were carried out and statistical significant level was .05.
The result of this study and a concluding remark through the discussion are as following.
First, the analysis of the correlation of career decision-making self-efficacy and educational barriers perceived by high school girls showed that there was a statistically significant negative correlation (p<.05).
Second, the analysis of the correlation of career decision making level and educational barriers perceived by high school girls indicated that a statistically significant negative correlation existed. (p<.05).
Third, the analysis of the correlation of career decision-making self-efficacy and career decision making level perceived by high school girls provided a statistically significant positive correlation was demonstrated (p<.05).
Fourth, the study demonstrated a level of difference in educational barriers perception according to the career decision status of high school girls. That is, the total point of educational barriers was higher with those who didn't yet decide their career than with those who already made decisions in their careers. Also this point has statistically significant meaning (p<.05).
Fifth, the study demonstrated a level of difference in career decision-making self-efficacy perception according to the career decision status of high school girls. That signifies, the total point of career decision-making self-efficacy proved higher with the career-decided groups than the career-non-decided groups and the difference is statistically significant(p<.05).
In conclusion, the study demonstrated close relation in the educational barriers perceived by high school girls, career decision-making self-efficacy and career decision-making level. Thus, a new counseling program is required which helps understand and lower one's educational barriers and elevate career decision-making self-efficacy.
