Introduction: The urgency of this research was to determine an effective model of individualized planning services as part of the guidance and counseling program components to encourage students to undertake career exploration. Career exploration was important because it could predict an individual's adjustment in the transition to further education, learning commitment, and academic motivation.
Objectives: This study aimed to produce an individualized planning service model assisted by the "Omah Karier" website to improve the career exploration of junior high school students in Surakarta that met the criteria of feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness.
Methods: This study employed the ADDIE model to develop and validate a product, involving experts, teachers, and students at different trial stages. The feasibility and practicality of the product were evaluated using established frameworks and were analyzed with Aiken's V and CVI. Furthermore, its effectiveness was measured through the Career Exploration Survey and was tested using a Paired Sample T-Test.
Result: The study produced an individualized planning service model assisted by the “Omah Karier” website to enhance students’ career exploration. The feasibility test showed high validity with Aiken’s V scores of 0.89 (material), 0.87 (media), and 0.91 (language), while the practicality test showed I-CVI values between 0.91–1.00. The effectiveness test revealed a significant improvement with t = -19.542 and p < 0.005, proving the model effectively supported students’ career exploration.
Conclusion: This service model proved to be effective in increasing students' career exploration and could be leveraged as an alternative guidance service to support students' career goals.
