Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore what the process entailed where Grade 9 learners engaged in career exploration in a mathematics and science focused school, using creative expressive arts activities. The study is a replication of a previous study conducted by Van Zyl (2014) in the context of Afrikaans-speaking middle-class Grade 9 learners, who experienced the benefits of the career exploration process when using creative expressive arts activities in an educational setting. This study expands Van Zyl’s findings by investigating Grade 9 Englishspeaking learners in a disadvantaged context with an aptitude for numerical subjects, attending a mathematics and science focused school. Further, this study confirms the findings of the previous study (Van Zyl, 2014) and fulfils the research criteria of being transferable to a different group of learners and identifying possible further discoveries. ..
