MESLEKİ SONUÇ BEKLENTİLERİ ÖLÇEĞİNİN YAPISAL YÖNDEN LATİN ÖĞRENCİLER İLE İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

In the current study, we investigated the psychometric properties of a meaningful measure of career development among Latina/o students. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to evaluate structural validity of the Vocational Outcome Expectations scale. The results supported a modest one-factor structure for the VOE scale. Internal consistency was good asmeasured by coefficient alpha. Findings provide support for the reliability and validity of the VOE with Latina/o students. A discussion regarding the usefulness of this measure of career development is provided.
