Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators GACE Practice Test

A business education teacher has allotted one class period to help students identify potential career options. Which of the following activities would be most appropriate given these circumstances?

1. Administering a test that advises students about what careers might fit their interests and talents

2. Asking students to write an essay describing their "dream job"

3. Having each student deliver a five-minute presentation describing their parents' jobs

4. Having students complete an internship

The correct answer is: Administering a test that advises students about what careers might fit their interests and talents

Administering a test that advises students about what careers might fit their interests and talents would be the most appropriate activity in this scenario. This is because the goal is to help students identify potential career options. By taking a career assessment test, students can gain insight into careers that align with their interests and talents, which can be a valuable starting point for further exploration and research. The other options are less appropriate for this particular objective. Asking students to write an essay about their "dream job" is more reflective and personal rather than focusing on a broad range of potential career options. Having students deliver presentations about their parents' jobs may not be relevant to identifying the students' own future career paths. Completing an internship is a valuable hands-on experience but may not be suitable for the immediate goal of helping students explore various career options within a single class period.
