Career Exploration and Decision-Making Learning Experiences (CEDLE) Scales: Validation among Chinese Vocational College Students
Zhou, Yingwen; Xu, Guoqing
Journal of Career Development, v49 n4 p846-861 Aug 2022
This research aimed to conduct a validation study of a Chinese version of the Career Exploration and Decision-Making Learning Experiences (CEDLE) scales among 2,372 Chinese vocational college students. In Study 1, an exploratory factor analysis was conducted to evaluate the factor structure of the CEDLE among 625 samples. We obtained both a four-factor model and a five-factor model. Study 2 examined the structure of the CEDLE among 1,747 students, and the results demonstrate the superiority of the five-factor model. A multigroup confirmatory factor analysis supported the measurement invariance for the gender groups. The Chinese version of the CEDLE had excellent reliability values from 0.80 to 0.88, and the findings demonstrated that the Chinese CEDLE was a valid and reliable measure of self-efficacy-related learning experiences. This study contributes to the literature on prior learning experiences regarding students' career behavior by providing evidence of the applicability of the CEDLE-Chinese version.
