“…Despite this explanation, these data contradict the results of other studies, which suggested a refinement of the profile with increasing age and work and academic experiences (Donohue, 2014;Godoy & Noronha, 2010;Hirschi, 2010;Huang & Pearce, 2013;Johnson et al, 2014;Louis, 2010;Nye et al, 2012;Sartori et al, 2009;Tracey et al, 2014). Furthermore, by observing the analyses related to schooling, independent of age, the relationships become clearer.…”

“…In general, there is a tendency of instability when considering both the ages (12-17 years) and the schooling between the end of elementary school and the end of high school (Low, Yoon, Roberts, & Rounds, 2005;Tracey, Robbins, & Hofsess, 2005) and increased stability and refinement of the profile of interest from the end of adolescence through adulthood, specially when enrolling in university or entering and performing in the world of work (Donohue, 2014;Hirschi, 2010;Huang & Pearce, 2013;Johnson, Schamuhn, Nelson, & Buboltz, 2014;Louis, 2010;Nye, Su, Rounds, & Drasgow, 2012;Tracey et al, 2014). The cited studies share two characteristics: a longitudinal research design and the independent analysis of age and education.…”

Vocational interests can be defined as standards of preference, aversion or indifference to professional activities, but little is known about the factors involved in their development. From this perspective, this study attempted to clarify which variable, age or schooling, better fit comparisons of profile differentiation index. To this end, we analyzed the Escala de Aconselhamento Profissional (Professional Counseling Scale) responses of 6,824 Brazilian students between 14 and 50 years old with various levels of education. Differentiation of the interest profile was observed by subtraction between dimensions with lower and higher scores. Normality of the distributions was verified and then Analysis of Variance and Tukey's post hoc test were conducted in relation to groups of age and schooling. The results suggest that schooling is a more appropriate variable to compare the differentiation of interests. The implications and limitations of this study are discussed, and suggestions for future studies are given.Keywords: vocational guidance, occupational choice, professional development, professional interests Nível de Diferenciação do Perfil de Interesses Profissionais: Estudo Comparativo por Idade e Escolaridade em Amostra BrasileiraResumo: Os interesses profissionais podem ser definidos como padrões de preferência, aversão ou indiferença em relação a atividades profissionais, mas pouco se sabe sobre os fatores envolvidos em seu desenvolvimento. A partir dessa perspectiva, este estudo teve como objetivo clarificar qual variável, idade ou escolaridade, melhor se ajusta às comparações dos índices de diferenciação dos perfis. Para tanto, foram analisadas as respostas à Escala de Aconselhamento Profissional (EAP) de 6824 estudantes brasileiros entre 14 e 50 anos com vários níveis de escolaridade. A diferenciação do perfil de interesses foi observada pela subtração entre as dimensões com pontuações mais altas e mais baixas. A normalidade da distribuição foi verificada e então Análises de Variância e prova post hoc de Tukey foram conduzidas em relação aos grupos de idade e escolaridade. Os resultados sugeriram que a escolaridade é a variável mais apropriada para comparar a diferenciação dos interesses. As implicações e limitações deste estudo são discutidas e sugestões para estudos futuros são fornecidas.Palavras-chave: orientação vocacional, escolha profissional, desenvolvimento profissional, interesses profissionais Nivel de Diferenciación del Perfil de Intereses Vocacionales: Estudio Comparativo por Edad y Escolaridad en una Muestra BrasileñaResumen: Los intereses profesionales pueden ser definidos como padrones de preferencia, aversión o indiferencia a las actividades profesionales, pero se sabe poco acerca de los factores que intervienen en su desarrollo.

“…Suggesting that occupational aspirations, after some compromise, tend to become more realistic. It would be interesting to study whether the changes in aspirations might depend on their coherence, as this was the case with interest (e.g., Hirschi, 2010). Moreover and as expected, adolescents from lower SES families reported less prestigious occupational aspirations.…”

Our Journal's third issue of volume twelve contains four very different contributions. The first contribution presents how a specific new approach to personal counselling and psychotherapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), might be used in a vocational or career guidance context. Adaptation of approaches that are developed in clinical psychology or psychotherapy can strengthen our own interventions and diversify them in order to adapt them to needs of our clients or counselees. The second contribution presents an analysis of the development of occupational aspirations in a very large sample of Korean adolescents. This study used a longitudinal design and applied contemporary statistical tools in order to analyse the trajectories of these aspirations. The third contribution conceptualized the relationship between narrative approaches and the systems theory framework (STF), and studied how story-crafting careers can facilitate client's desired, sustainable, and achievable stories to emerge. The last empirical contribution presents a very well conducted and original qualitative study about an important topic: dilemmas career counsellors face. The most frequent dilemma concerns the legitimacy of confronting a client when the counsellor has noted a discrepancy between the client's vocational choice and his or her abilities and an employer's expectations of a specific professional in that field. This dilemma could be the result of the counsellor's desire to take into account social constraints and the counselee's needs, aspirations, or desires simultaneously, and has important ethical implications.In the first contribution, ''Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) as a career counselling strategy,'' Nancey P. Hoare, Peter McIlveen, and Nadine Hamilton presented an analyses and a case example of how ACT can be applied in the field of career guidance. This approach can help career counsellors to take emotions into greater account, and to increase clients' psychological flexibility and their abilities to regulate their emotions. It is notable that McIlveen and Patton (2010), in another

“…Untuk dapat melakukan perencanaan karir yang baik, maka siswa diharapkan mampu untuk melakukan self-discovery (Waddell & Bauer, 2012) untuk mengenali aspirasi diri dan kemampuan dirinya (Antoniu, 2010;Atkinson, Jr., & Murrell, 1988;Beijaard, Brok, & Mittendorff, 2010;Hirschi, 2010;Levinson & Palmer, 2005), mengekplorasi pilihan karir yang tersedia (Benitez, Lattimore, & Wehmeyer, 2005;Taylor, 1997;Witko, Bernes, Magnusson, & Bardick, 2005); serta menjatuhkan pilihan terhadap karir atau pekerjaan dianggap memberikan kepuasan, kebahagiaan, dan kenyamanan yang setinggi mungkin (Hirschi, 2011;Huebner & Royal, 2014).…”

This research aims to (1) perform inventory career planning of students, and (2) measuring students career planning based on gender. Data analysis used Rasch model for 45 students with actual power measurement 0.9272652. The research findings show (1) inventory career planning has been fit with the theoretic model, and (2) female student have a tendency to a higher career planning rather than male student. In the future, to measurement of student's career planning by using this inventory can only produce a high measurement information for students who have a mediocre ability. Further, the researcher need to consider to eliminate item No. 12 in this inventory due to the biased towards the male gender. PendahuluanPeriode Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMK/SMA) merupakan periode yang sangat penting untuk menyiapkan diri siswa guna melanjutkan pendidikan ke perguruan tinggi atau bekerja dan menghindari pengangguran (Kim, 2011;Levinson & Palmer, 2005). Akan tetapi, kemajuan dalam pendidikan dan keterampilan tidak cukup untuk mengurangi pengangguran jika pilihan pendidikan siswa di sekolah tidak sejalan dengan kebutuhan pasar kerja. Hasil studi International Labour Organization (ILO) PBB untuk Indonesia dan Timor Leste mengungkapkan bahwa lebih dari seperempat angkatan muda Indonesia kini menganggur dan masih banyak lagi yang mengerjakan pekerjaan yang tidak sesuai dengan keterampilannya (underemployed) serta tidak menggunakan keterampilannya seoptimal mungkin (International Labour Organization, 2011). Meskipun disadari, bahwa masalah pengangguran merupakan tanggung jawab bersama semua komponen masyarakat dan Pemerintah, namun sebagian besar sekolah di seluruh dunia mengakui bahwa membimbing siswa untuk belajar dan memilih karir yang tepat adalah tanggung jawab besar yang juga diemban oleh sekolah (Beijaard, Brok, & Mittendorff, 2010). Di Indonesia sendiri, bidang pelayanan bimbingan dan konseling karir telah menjadi salah satu arah pelayanan konseling yang diutamakan bersama-sama dengan bidang pelayanan konseling lainnya, yaitu bidang kehidupan pribadi-sosial, pendidikan dan keterampilan, keberagamaan, keluarga, dan kebangsaan (Prayitno et al., 2017).Upaya untuk meminimalkan tingkat pengangguran yang dialami oleh angkatan muda Indonesia salah satunya dapat ditempuh melalui pendidikan vokasional. Di Indonesia, sistem pendidikan vokasional salah satunya ditempuh melalui pendidikan di Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK). Dengansemboyan "SMK bisa! Siap kerja, cerdas,dan kompetitif" (Listiara & Alsa, 2011), siswa SMK adalah kelompok pelajar yang dipersiapkan untuk menimba keterampilan, pengetahuan dan kemampuan yang dapat memberikan kontribusi secara nyata terhadap tempat kerja (National Collaborative on Worksforce and Disability, 2008). Akan tetapi, perencanaan dan arah pilihan karir atau pekerjaan bagi sebagian besar siswa adalah masih dianggap hal yang rumit dan bahkan menghadirkan tekanan tersendiri dalam diri siswa (Z. Zhang & Tian, 2016). Hal ini diakibatkan karena di sekolah, siswa di tuntut untuk memfokuskan semua U...
