After providing an explanation of this study to the participants and obtaining their informed consent, the action research will be initiated. The study will proceed as follows, and data will be collected accordingly.
Together with teachers in the career guidance department of the special support school that agreed to participate, a career guidance method incorporating the checklist will be developed. During this development process, approximately 30-minute interviews will be conducted to explore whether teachers experience changes in their awareness toward career guidance and whether there are changes in their behaviors related to career guidance. In addition, after each career guidance session is implemented, further 30-minute interviews will be conducted to obtain qualitative data on points for improvement in the operation of career guidance and on the usefulness of career guidance with the checklist. These interviews will be repeated after each implementation of career guidance with the checklist.
Similarly, after receiving career guidance, parents of children with severe motor and intellectual disabilities will be interviewed for about 30 minutes to collect qualitative data related to the study items. These interviews will also be conducted after each implementation of career guidance with the checklist.
