Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility of a handbook of college search based on four aspects, namely the appropriateness of material, media, language, presentation and seeing students’ increased knowledge, especially information about college or higher education to help the students determine their future careers. The development model used was adapted from the development model of Fenrich which consisted of five phases, namely (1) the analysis phase, (2) the planning phase, (3) the design phase, (4) the development phase, and (5) the revision and evaluation phase. The results of the study showed that the handbook of college search after the high school level met the four feasibility criteria. In addition, there was an increase in the knowledge of career information experienced by the twelfth-grade students of SMAN 3 Sidoarjo. Therefore, it can be concluded that the overall expert validator gave the assessment criteria of "feasible with a good predicate" that was 80.25% and the counselor validator gave the assessment criteria of "feasible with a very good predicate" that was 92.31%. Based on the results of the assessments, the handbook of college search to increase career knowledge of twelfth-grade students met the feasibility criteria and could be used in schools.
