Career Education in the Seventh Grade Social Class. Career Development Project.
Melechen, Rachel
The 17 seventh grade social studies activities, designed for career education, focus on: personal development; self-analysis; awareness of occupational choices; career development over a lifetime; knowledge of useful skills for appropriate careers, future job opportunities; occupational clusters; the interrelationship between work, leisure, and life-style; changing roles; job performance; and job satisfaction. The teaching strategies involve: class discussion or questionnaire evaluating personal strengths and weaknesses; group activities relating preferences and skills to occupations; student journals of activities, occupational information, and skills development; discussion of life stages and occupational choices at various stages; group work combining interests, preferences, skills, and further career opportunities, with probable interests at different age levels; field trips to health facilities; readings; and research on occupations. Each lesson is organized around domain, goal, performance objective, activities, and outcome measure. (JB)
