Abstract
Career planning stimulates personal competence and coping with career and future. We analyse the simultaneous relationship between career planning and academic behaviour and performance. Participants were446 students from the 5thyear (231, 52.2% boys), aged nine to 13 years old (M= 10.23, SD= 0.49). A demographic questionnaire and the planning sub scaleof the Childhood Career Development Scale were used. Results evidenced two different career profiles: the constructive, with higher planning and positive outcomes in academic behaviour and performance; the vulnerable, with lower planning, behavioural problems, more learning difficulties, and school retention.
