“…In addition, a measurement for occupational objectives/considerations was designed and validated, consisting of an inventory of 10 briefly described professions or occupational qualifications. The occupational qualifications and the instructions were adapted from the scheme proposed by Gore (1996;Gore & Leuwerke, 2000). The occupational descriptions were taken from the O*NET program (www.…”

Abstract. This study aims to validate the model for vocational interests and choices defined by Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) in the context of Colombian secondary education, with a view to extending previous research in various ways. Firstly, in terms of cross-cultural validation, it examines the whole core of the model of vocational interests and choices in the science/mathematics area for the first time with Latin-American secondary school students. Secondly, it tests the SCCT model for the first time in an ethnically diverse population outside the United States, including minority groups. Finally, it examines the role in this new context of the perceived social support in career development processes. 2,787 Colombian secondary school students took part in the study. The subjects were evaluated for self-efficacy, outcome expectations, interests, occupational aspirations and perceived social support for entry to careers in the science/mathematics area. Structural equation modeling (including multigroup analysis for gender and ethnic group) was used to test the fit of the hypothesized model to the data. In the full sample, results indicated global support for SCCT as a way to predict Colombian students' interests and occupational aspirations in the field of mathematics and science (CFI=.96 and RMSEA=.046). All the hypotheses formulated were verified with the exception of those related to the direct effects of self-efficacy and outcome expectations in connection with occupational aspirations. Collectively, the predictors accounted for 52% of the variance in interests and for 40% of the variance in occupational aspirations. In addition, results also suggest that the model is invariant across gender and ethnic groups (White Colombian, Mestizo Colombian and Afro-Colombian). The implications for both future research on SCCT and intervention are discussed.

El objetivo del estudio es validar el modelo de intereses y elecciones vocacionales definido por la Teoría Cognitivo Social del Desarrollo de la Carrera (SCCT por sus siglas en inglés) en el contexto de la educación secundaria colombiana. Con ello se pretende contribuir a la investigación previa en varios sentidos. Primero, en términos de validación trascultural, se examina por primera vez el núcleo completo del modelo en el área científico-matemática con alumnado de educación Blanco-Blanco, A. Rev. complut. educ. 28(4) 2017: 1173-1192 secundaria latinoamericano. En segundo lugar, se estudia por primera vez el modelo cognitivo social en población no estadounidense étnicamente diversa, incluyendo grupos minoritarios. Finalmente, se analiza en este nuevo contexto el papel del apoyo social percibido en los procesos de desarrollo de la carrera. Los participantes ...

“…A prestige score for outcome expectations was calculated using scoring metrics from the PGI (Tracey, 2002). We utilized the OOE format because the original measure had good internal consistency reliabilities (ranging from .91 to .96) and had been shown to relate as expected with corresponding selfefficacy measures (Dickinson, 2008;Gore & Leuwerke, 2000).…”

SCCT, the hypothesized relation of prestige self-efficacy to prestige outcome expectations was non-significant. Future research is needed to explore the impact of race, gender, and occupational domain on the relative influence of self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and interests on choice goals.
