Keefektifan Refleksi dan Penstrukturan Ulang Kognitif pada Pengambilan Keputusan Karier Siswa SMA

This study aimed at examining the effectiveness of reflection and cognitive restructuring to improve high school students' career decision making based on cognitive information processing (CIP) model. The experimental design with RCTs model was employed for this study where 40 stu- dents assigned to be the experimental group members and 40 students of others assigned to be the control group members. The developed career decision making sub-skills were: self-knowledge, oc- cupation knowledge, communication, analysis, synthesis, valuing, execution, and executive proces- sing. The result of this study showed the reflection and cognitive restructuring were effective for im- proving the high school students' career decision making. It was because after the treatment, there was a significant difference in students' career decision making between those who were in the ex- perimental groups and in the control groups. The experimental group members had mean score high- er than the control group's. The controlled trials information also supported that reflection and cog- nitive restructuring were effective to improve the high school students' career decision making.
