Abstract
There appears to be some confusion whether adolescents are able to perceive their personal abilities realistically when aspiring toward career goals. This study will attempt to relate perceptions of students and parents with regard to student data and career choices.
Are career choices of eighth grade students commensurate with personal abilities? The following questions will be studied with reference to perceptions regarding career related items. (1) Will the responses of high and medium to low ability students differ?; (2) Will the responses of male and female students differ?; (3) Will the responses of students having completed the career exploration course vary from those who have not?; (4) Will the responses given by parents of high and medium to low ability students differ?; (5) Will the responses given by parents of mae and female students differ?; (6) Will the responses given by parents of students having completed the career exploration course vary from those who have not?
