Literature Review

Different researchers have discussed the need for elementary and middle school careereducation.

According Ediger (2000), elementary and middle school career education is important. Edigerstated that "the elementary and middle school years are not too early to begin to achieve a visionof what one desires to do in life contributing to the world of work". Without career education,students have unrealistic perceptions of careers due to a lack of knowledge and poordecision making. Students have limited knowledge and exposure to careers. When students lookat the different industries e.g. sports, media and entertainment, most students underestimate theskills and time required to have successful careers.

Richard W. Auger, Anne E. Blackhurst, Kay Herting Wahl reported the importance ofelementary and middle school career education. There is increasing evidence in the researchliterature that career development is a lifelong process that begins in childhood (Magnuson &Starr, 2000; Trice, 1991; Trice & McClellan, 1993, 1994). Research also suggested thatelementary-aged children may tend to aspire to careers that are out of the reach of all but a selectfew, such as a career as a professional athlete (Bobo, Hildreth, & Durodoye, 1998; Cook et al.,1996; Helwig, 2001).

Donna E. Palladino Schultheiss, Thomas V. Palma, Alberta J. Manzi cited that research suggeststhat students who drop out of school at age 16 have psychologically disengaged from schoolas early as Grade 3 (McWhirter, McWhirter, McWhirter, & McWhirter, 1998). Moreover,sixth-through-ninth-grade children have demonstrated very little understanding of how schoolrelates to the real world and seem to have little to no awareness of the skills and knowledgeneeded for success in the future (Johnson, 2000).
