Question 2

Krumboltz

Answer 2

Krumboltz’s theory stressed that each individual’s learning experiences, such as generalization of self, sets of developed skills, and career entry behavior, influence an individual’s career choice. The process involves four factors: genetic endowments and career opportunities, environmental conditions and events, learning experiences and task approach skills.

Question 3

Self-Directed Search

Answer 3

Holland’s assessment tool is based on the theory of career typology and is the basis for most of the career inventories in use today. The typology categorizes the relationship of personality to the work environment with respect to six types of personality orientations (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional). The personality descriptions can help one to better understand how individual skills and interest s relate to career choice and help to find the careers that best match interests and abilities.

Question 4

Super’s Life Span-Life Space

Answer 4

The approach suggested that career development evolves along a continuum for birth throughout the lifespan. Since Super uses the concept of career maturity as a means of identifying which developmental tasks have been accomplished on the continuum of life development, career success therefore is the result of the congruence of abilities, personality, and aptitude with the choice of career environment.

• ensure that school counseling programs are comprehensive in design and delivered in a systematic fashion to all students.
