A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
This scoping literature review examines the effects of career guidance interventions on high school students’ vocational identity development. Following the PRISMA guidelines, 20 articles were included based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The following interventions were identified: Educational program, Parental involvement, Tests, Group counseling, Career talks and Portfolio. Educational program emerged as the most effective intervention, while findings on parental involvement intervention were mixed. In general, the interventions lacked a common framework however they shared common outcomes suggesting underlying mechanisms. Some similarities were found between the interventions educational program and group counseling. Research gaps revealed a lack of differentiation between educational tracks, limited involvement of teachers and counselors and the absence of job shadowing or internships as an intervention. Practical implications suggest implementing the intervention educational program due to the positive effects. Moreover, national guidelines are recommended to ensure accessibility and consistency for high school students.
