Since there is a growing emphasis to expand elementary students’ early career awareness, the purpose of this quantitative survey study is to explore how elementary students’ self-perceptions change regarding main career development domains including (1) developing self-concept, (2) exploring college and career options, (3) making a connection with personality, education, and career paths. The quantitative findings also report how gender is related to elementary students’ career cluster choices. Elementary school leaders and counselors can use the results to improve young children’s career development by creating systemic and targeted career exploration activities.  \nKeywords: Elementary Career Development, Student Perspectives, Career Need Assessment  \nRecommended Citation:  \nYavuz, Olcay.

Osipow (1968) conducted a comprehensive comparison of career theories. Particularly, he compared and contrasted seven theories of career development are examined in previous chapters: (1) Roe's personality theory, (2) Holland's career typology theory, (3) the Ginzberg, Ginsburg, Axelrod, and Herma Theory, (4) psychoanalytic conceptions, (5) Super's developmental self-concept theory, (6) other personality theories, and (7) social systems theories.  \nIn general, there is a consensus that career exploration and career development is a lifelong process that begins in the early school years (Blackhurst, Auger, and Wahl, 2003; Howard, Ferrari, 2021; Setiowati and Nuryanto, 2022) . Overall, Osipow evaluates not to find the superior theory, but to show in which context each is most likely to be useful. It is noted that various career development theorists have focused on the importance of the elementary years for an individual’s career development. Particularly, career theorists Roe (1957), Super (1963a), Ginzberg, and associates (1957) who support the normal human development process, advocate for the implementation of early career exploration activities.  \nFor instance, according to Super (1980), students in elementary school years are in the growth phase. exploration of information about the self and the world. During elementary school, students tend to acquire and access career information and start to build awareness of their likes and dislikes. In other words, Super emphasizes how the self-concept starts to shape in the early school years. The Ginzberg approach, similar to Super's, describes career development as a series of events in a predictable sequence (Osipow, 1968) . Ginzberg indicates that the career choice process includes three main  \n1Corresponding Author: Olcay Yavuz, Associate Professor, Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, Southern Connecticut State University, [yavuzo1@southernct.edu](yavuzo1@southernct.edu), ORCID: 0000-0003-1060-5401.  \n1  \nCopyright © International Journal on New Trends in Education and Their [Implications / www.ijonte.org](Implications / www.ijonte.org)  \nInternational Journal on New Trends in Education and Their Implications December 2022 Volume: 13, Issue: 2, ISSN 1309-6249  \nperiods which are fantasy, tentative, and realistic choices.
