Abstract

This study aimed to achieve the following objectives: 1) to develop a career planning course based on the experiential learning model for college students, 2) to compare the work skills of students after completing the career planning course with a criterion set at 70%, and 3) to assess students' satisfaction with the career planning course. The sample consisted of a class of 25 students, selected using simple random sampling. The research instruments used included: 1) the six components and lesson plans of the career planning course based on the experiential learning model, 2) a work skills assessment form, and 3) a satisfaction questionnaire. Data analysis included the calculation of mean and standard deviation for the work skills data, with statistical significance set at a .05 level and the criterion set at 70%. One-sample t-tests were used for the analysis. Additionally, the mean and standard deviation of the student satisfaction data were calculated. The results of the study are as follows:


1) The course comprised the principle, objective, content, instructional process, instructional material, and learning assessment, and utilized a "four-step" teaching process.


2) The mean post-test score for teamwork skills after completing the career planning course was 10.08 (SD = 1.80). This score exceeded the 70% criterion with statistical significance at a .05 level (t = 4.66, p = .001). Similarly, the mean post-test score for problem-solving skills after completing the career planning course was 9.48 (SD = 2.16), which also exceeded the 70% criterion with statistical significance at a .05 level (t = 2.50, p = .020). The study demonstrated a trend of increasing mean scores. 3) Comparing the post-course satisfaction scores of the career planning course (mean = 76.52 out of 80, SD = 3.64) with the standard value of 3.51, the results indicated a high level of satisfaction among the 25 students. This finding was statistically significant at a .05 level (t = 100.26, p = .001).
