Ergenlik döneminde mesleki karar verme olgunluğunun incelenmesi ve "mesleki karar verme eğitimi programı"nın etkisinin araştırılması

Araştırmanın ilk bölümünde, “ilişkisel tarama modeli” kullanılarak ergenlerin mesleki olgunluk düzeyleri ile benlik kavramları, aile ortamını psiko-sosyal algılayışları, bazı akademik ve demografik değişkenler arasında ilişki olup olmadığı incelenmiş; ikinci bölümünde ise, “Solomon Dört-Grup Deneysel Modeli” uygulanarak “Mesleki Karar Verme Eğitim Programı”nın etkisi araştırılmıştır. Araştırmanın tarama bölümünün örneklemini, İstanbul ili içinde öğretim yapan resmi ve özel liselerden rastgele çekilen, 20 resmi ve 10 özel olmak üzere toplam 30 lise ve bu liselerden “küme örnekleme” tekniği ile elde edilen 2576 lise 1., 2. ve 3. sınıf öğrencisinden, değerlendirmeye alınan 2434 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın deneme bölümünün örneklemini ise, çalışmanın birinci bölümünün örneklemi olan liselerden birinin tarama bölümüne katılmış ve katılmamış olan 2. sınıf gönüllü öğrencilerin içinden rastgele seçilen 10’ar kişilik 2 deney ve 10’ar kişilik 2 kontrol grubu öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın birinci bölümünün verilerini toplamak için “Mesleki Olgunluk Envanteri (Yeterlilik Testi, Kendini Tanıma Alt-testi)”, “Piers-Harris Öz-Kavram Ölçeği”, “Aile Ortamı Ölçeğı” ve “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” araçları kullanılmıştır. İkinci bölümünde ise, araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanmış olan “Mesleki Karar Verme Eğitim Programı” uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, tek-yönlü ve üç-yönlü varyans analizleri, Pearson Momentler Çarpımı Korelasyon Katsayısı istatistik tekniklerine göre analiz edilmiştir. Bulgulara göre, mesleki olgunluk ile öz-kavram verilerinin toplamı ve altı alt-boyutu arasında; mesleki olgunluk ile ailenin psiko-sosyal algılanışı verilerinin iki alt-boyutu arasında; mesleki olgunluk verileri ile örneklemin akademik başarısı, cinsiyeti, anne-baba eğitim düzeyi, kendi eğitim düzeyi (1., 2., 3. sınıf olması) ve lise türü (resmi ya da özel) arasında .01 ve .05 manidarlık düzeyinde anlamlı derecede ilişki bulunmuştur. Ancak, mesleki olgunluk düzeyi ile okullarda rehberlik servisinin olup olmaması arasında anlamlı derecede ilişki bulunamamıştır. Araştırmanın deneysel bölümünün analizine göre, “Mesleki Karar Verme Eğitim Programı”nın, deney grubunun mesleki olgunluk düzeyini yükselttiği ortaya çıkmıştır.
