Abstract

In this study, the effect of Future Awareness Psychoeducation Program on the career exploration behaviours and decision-making skills of gifted students attending the 4·grade of primary school was examined. The study group of the research consisted of a total of 24 students in the 4·-grade of primary school attending the support education programs at the Science and Art Centre (BILSEM). This study is quasi-experimental research with pre-test, post-test and follow-up test models, including experimental and control groups. Career Exploration Scale, Decision Making Skills Scale for Primary School Students and Socio-Demographic Information Form were used to collect the data. After the pre-test measurements, the Future Awareness Psychoeducation Program was applied to the students in the experimental group by the researcher for four weeks and one session per week, each session consisting of 40+40 minutes, totalling 80 minutes between February and March 2023. During this period, no group sessions or activities were conducted with the control group, and only the pre-test and post-test were administered to the students. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and Mann Whitney U Test were used to analyse the data. The results of the study showed that there was a meaningful difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental group students in favour of the post-test scores. It was also found that there was a meaningful difference between the post-test scores of the experimental and control groups in favour of the experimental group. At the same time, a follow-up test was applied to the students in the experimental group two months later and it was determined that the difference between the post-test and follow-up test mean scores was not meaningful. Accordingly, it can be stated that the Future Awareness Psychoeducation Program had a significant impact on students' career exploration behaviours and decision-making skills scores and this effect continued in the follow-up measurements. The findings reveal that the Future Awareness Psychoeducation Program is effective in supporting students' career
