Peningkatan Kematangan Karier Melalui Bimbingan Karier Berbasis Teori Donald E. Super pada Siswa Kelas XI SMAN 7 Kediri

Abstract

Career maturity is an important skill for high school students because it relates to 
their readiness to plan, choose, and make future career decisions. However, many 
students still have low career maturity, as indicated by confusion in determining 
further education or career choices that match their potential. This study aims to 
determine the effectiveness of career guidance based on Donald E. Super's theory 
in improving the career maturity of Grade XI students at SMAN 7 Kediri. This study 
employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method. Data were 
collected using a career maturity scale tested for validity and reliability. The results 
showed increased career maturity after students received career guidance 
services. The Paired Sample t-Test obtained a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), 
indicating a significant difference before and after the intervention. The N-Gain test 
result of 79.31% was categorized as effective. Thus, career guidance based on 
Donald E. Super's theory is effective in improving students' career maturity.
