Abstract

This study examined a correspondence of children's anticipated vocations, perceived competencies, and interests. For the purpose, this study asked 659 primary school students what activities they liked, those they thought they were good at, and what job they expected when they grew up. The responses were coded into RIASEC Holland codes and agreement across the three questions was examined using kappa statistics. Results indicated that there was a correspondence of children's anticipated vocations, perceived competencies, and interests. When broken down into separate examinations by gender, males and females had significant kappas for agreement between vocation and competence. And the correspondence of competence and interest was significant for males too. We couldn't examine females' case because they didn't answer C-type of Holland. Examinations of the results by grade demonstrated that 5th-grade and 6th-grade had significant kappas for agreement between vocation and competence. However the correspondence of vocation and interest was significant for 5th-grade. the correspondence of competence and interest was significant for 5th-grade too. We couldn't examine 6th-grade's case because they didn't answer C-type of Holland. The result obtained from this study indicate that there is a correspondence of children's anticipated vocations, perceived competencies, and interests. Such a result means that children, 5th-grade and 6th-grade, can consider their competencies and interests with their vocations. The findings are especially relevant for counselors and teachers working with children.

본 연구는 Holland의 RIASEC 모형을 중심으로 초등학생의 직업기대와 능력지각 및 흥미 일치도를 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 서울과 경기 지역에 거주하는 초등학생 659명을 대상으로 직업기대, 능력지각, 흥미 검사결과를 토대로 Kappa 일치 지표를 이용하여 각 변인들의 일치도 분석과 성별, 학년에 따른 일치도 분석을 실시하여 검증하였다. 연구결과 직업기대-능력지각, 직업기대-흥미, 능력지각-흥미 일치도는 일반 Kappa, 가중치 Kappa 두 지표 모두 유의미하게 검증되었다. 초등학생의 성별에 따른 일치도 분석 결과 직업기대-능력지각에서는 남자, 여자 모두 유의미한 일치도를 나타냈다. 직업기대-흥미, 능력지각-흥미에서는 남자만 유의미한 일치도를 나타냈고, 학년에 따른 일치도 분석은 직업기대-능력지각에서는 5학년, 6학년 모두 유의미한 일치도를 나타냈다. 직업기대-흥미, 능력지각-흥미에서는 5학년만 유의미한 일치도를 나타냈고, 6학년은 흥미 항목에 대해 C(관습형)로 응답한 사람이 없었기 때문에 통계량을 계산할 수 없었다. 전체적으로 초등학생의 직업기대, 능력지각, 흥미 간에는 유의미한 일치 관계가 있음을 나타냈다. 이는 초등학교 5, 6학년이 되면 직업인식에서 능력과 흥미요인을 고려한다는 것을 뜻하며, 진로지도와 교육에 있어 이를 고려해야 함을 시사한다.
