    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2006-07-01) Córdoba Alcaide, Francisco; Ortega Ruíz, Rosario; Pontes Pedrajas, Alfonso
    In this paper we describe the interest in teaching as a professional option by students of Humanities and Social Sciences as well as the reasons they choose it. The sample of this descriptive study is an extensive numbre of students registered in several years of History, Hispanic Philosophy and English Philology in the University of Cordoba. We asked the students to indicate their perceptions of teachin in Secondary Education as a professional option on a range of preference. Results will reveal that a high proportion of university students preceive teaching in Secondary Education as a professional option during the years in which they are doing their degrees, but the change from preferred to intermediate and unpreferred positions relates to a substantial qualitative difference with regard to the reason given.

    The purposes of this research is to adaptate and validate a career decision-making self-efficacy scale based on Taylor and Betz (1983), Career Decision-making Self-Efficacy Scale. It is a Likert scale with 30 items, the process adaptation and validations included one expert studio, two pilot studios and a confirmatory research which is presented in this article. The measure model was validated with a sample of 2.783 Spanish students aged between 14 and 18. The scale has an Alpha 0.91 coefficient. After making an exploratory analysis and tests the five factors, we did a confirmatory analysis using the Structural Equation Model methodology, with AMOS 4.0 programme. The results of the study support the theoretical hypothesis on which the model is based. We have a valid scale to assess career decision-making self efficacy to be used by researchers and counsellors to deepen knowledge in career counselling field through the Career Social-Cognitive Theory.
