CAREER BELIEFS OF ADOLESCENTS IN RELATION TO THEIR INTERNET SAVVINESS

The investigators conducted this study to address career beliefs of adolescents in relation to their internet savviness. The participants were 720 adolescents (360 boys and 360 girls) who completed career beliefs pattern scale and internet savviness scale. No significant relationship was found between career beliefs and internet savviness of the adolescents. There is a significant relationship between career beliefs and information gathering and social collaboration dimensions of internet savviness of the adolescents.  There is significant gender difference on career beliefs and internet savviness of adolescents. Educational implications of the study are that there must be career counseling cell in schools and career beliefs must be brought in the career counseling by the counselor. Special attention should be given to boys as they are more negative towards their career preparation.
