Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of Career Module as a strategy to assists the undergraduates in career selection. This study is carried out by using the quasi-experimental design of pre-test and post test of the treatment and control groups. The sample consists of 64 undergraduates from the Education Faculty of Sultan Idris Education University, Malaysia. Students are divided into one treatment group (32 persons) and one control group (32 persons). Data is analyzed with t-test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Descriptive analyses indicate that there are mean increment in the scores of post test compared to the scores of pre-test. Besides, findings also show that there are significant differences of mean in the pretest and post test of career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE) of the treatment group compared to the control group. Furthermore, results indicate that there are no significant differences of pre-test and post test of career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE) between the treatment group and control group based on gender. This study testifies the effectiveness of career integration module which is established by a combination of two theories as a strategy to assists the undergraduates in career selection. The undergraduates need to possess self-efficacy in career selection; therefore, the institution must plan a strategy to assists them in career selection, particularly the final year undergraduates.
