Efektivitas Pelatihan Goal Setting untuk Meningkatkan Kematangan Karier pada Siswa SMA Swasta Nurul Hasanah Tembung

Abstract

High school students must not only have good academic abilities, but they must also be ready to face the challenges posed by the increasingly dynamic world of work. It is not only that today's world of work demands individuals who are not only intellectually intelligent, but also have career maturity. A career involves planning to achieve goals and aspirations, considering individual abilities and skills, as well as choosing from a variety of existing jobs. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of goal-setting training to improve the career maturity of high school students. This type of research is Quasi experiment with One group Pretest Posttest design. The research subjects amounted to 20 students consisting of 10 women and 10 men. The measuring instrument used in this study is an adapted career maturity scale. This instrument refers to Savickas' (2005) career maturity theory which includes three dimensions, namely: control, concern, curiosity, and confidence. The data analysis method using Wilcoxon Signed Rank obtained a p value = 0.014 <0.05, which means that the hypothesis of this study is accepted, namely goalsetting training is effective for increasing the career maturity of high school students.
