Abstract

This study used the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model to develop a teaching plan suitable for sixth-grade primary school career exploration. In the course, teachers designed situational experiences of different occupations using virtual reality, and guided students towards occupations that interested them, while also encouraging them to break stereotypes of traditionally gendered occupations. Using oral reports, practical assessments, document analysis, and other methods, students’ initial understanding and ideas for future career exploration were assessed. The results were as follows.
1.The ADDIE model was found to be highly effective in developing a teaching plan suitable for sixth-grade primary school career exploration. Teachers designed situational experiences of different occupations using virtual reality, and guided students towards occupations that interested them, while also encouraging them to break stereotypes of traditionally gendered occupations.
2.Teachers guided students in formulating a career development plan. Worksheets, practice, and oral reports indicated that this course helped students gain preliminary ideas and understanding for future career planning.
