Examined the role of family education classes in career adaptability of first year high school students

The present study was aimed to examine effectiveness of family training classes in career adaptability of first grade high school students. The research method was quasiexperimental with pretest-posttest and control group. Independent variable is family training and dependent variable is career adaptability. The study population consisted of all first grade high school girl students of Saqez city in 2012-2013 academic years. At first a school was selected by random sampling and then 30 students and their mothers were selected by using simple random sampling and were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. Experimental group for 7 sessions (1.20 hour) received family training in each week and it took 1.5 months for experimental group. Data was collect by Yousefi's Adaptability Career Scale (2011). To illustrate the difference between groups, the mean and standard deviation of experimental and control groups were calculated and multivariate regression analysis was used for data analysis. The results showed that with regard to pre-test scores as variable diffraction (help)interventions have led to significant difference between experimental and control groups (P=0.001). This means that family training classes had impact on improvement of career adaptability (curiosity and trust, concern).
