Abstract

This research aims to assess the career decision making abilities of secondary school students in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (HKJ) during the academic year 2022/2023 AD. The sample comprises 470 high school students selected from various educational schools. Career decision making competence is assessed using the Gelatt model, developed by Alzaben and Abuased (2017). The researcher used a descriptive-analytical method to detect the participants' abilities in making career-related decisions. It was revealed that secondary school students in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan possess a notably high level of career decision making abilities. Furthermore, the results indicate that students in scientific education exhibit a superior aptitude for career decision making compared to their counterparts following the literary education stream.
