This book was released on 2011 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American higher education is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse and researchers have suggested that more attention should be given to better understanding the career development of college students of color. Although there is substantial research on career development and the career decision-making process, studies have overwhelmingly primarily used data collected from White participants. Thus, little research has been done on the career development of people of color and specifically, college students of color. The primary focus of this study was to explore relationships between career decision-making self-efficacy, career maturity attitudes, and racial identity attitudes of college students of color. In addition, the study explored relationships between career decision-making self-efficacy, career maturity attitudes, and various demographic and life experience variables.^A sample of 164 college students of color attending five institutions of higher education in the Western New York area was used for this study. A survey packet consisting of four separate self-report instruments was completed by each participant. This study employed a multiple correlation and regression survey research design which was used to examine relationships between variables. This study generated a number of important findings. First, strong relationships where found between career decision-making self-efficacy and career maturity attitudes for this sample. Second, career decision-making self-efficacy and career maturity attitudes were related both positively and negatively, depending upon participants' current racial identity status, to participants' racial identity attitudes.^Third, participants' age, year in college, academic major, mother's educational level, and family income were predictors of their confidence in their ability to make a career choice that would meet their preferred lifestyle. Lastly, none of the remaining demographic variables were related to either career development construct. This study also explored the implications of the findings on career counseling with students of color, student affairs and academic advising practice, and higher education policy. Overall, this study provides new and relevant information regarding the career and racial identity development of college students of color, a very limited body of scholarly literature.

Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION Over more than a decade now, the Internet has virtually made our world smaller. The touch of a few keystrokes enables people to communicate, engage in commerce, and interact with others around the world. Put simply, technology has fundamentally changed the way the businesses were handled by society including consumers. This global presence of internet has enabled businesses to reach new markets and millions of new potential customers. With the result, during this period of time, online commerce or electronic commerce commonly known as e-commerce has emerged as the fastest growing sector across the globe. ―While being able to access to global markets, online commerce or e-commerce has enabled businesses to bypass the traditional intermediaries in domestic jurisdictions. Besides, owing to its lower transaction costs, online commerce has caused a steady increase in the number of sellers and suppliers in the market, thus increasing diversity and competition in the market. Therefore, online commerce has been rightly categorized as the new face of entrepreneurship which encompasses existing companies, organizations, small businesses and individual online traders.‖ 1 The term online commerce or e-commerce, which is short for electronic commerce, is the act of buying or selling goods, services, or information over an electronic network to consumers. 1n 1960's first time electronic commerce was presented through an Electronic Data Interchange (commonly known as EDI) on Value Added Networks . Today it acts as guiding the business with the assistance of electronic mass media, creating the practice of Information Technology likewise Electronic Data Interchange. E-commerce is preferable rather useful because of numerous reasons, say for example, access to products, which may not be accessible otherwise, becomes quite 1 Ivonnely Colon Figg, ―Protecting the new face of entrepreneurship: Online Appropriate Dispute resolution and International Consumer to Consumer transaction‖ 12 FJOCAFL 238 (2007),

Download or read book Familial Individual Social cognitive and Contextual Predictors of Career Decision Self efficacy written by Alexandra M. Ribadeneira and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results of this study indicated that familial (perceived authoritative fathering), individual (conscientiousness), and social-cognitive processes (informational and diffuse-avoidant identity styles) predicted career decision self-efficacy and contextual processes (peer controlling behaviors in career decisions) moderated the relationship between perceived permissive mothering and career decision self-efficacy. These results show that Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory of human development, Buri's perceived parenting styles framework, and social cognitive career theory provided useful insights for identifying variables related to career decision self-efficacy. However, the small amount of variance accounted for in this study tells us that more research is needed to identify other variables that contribute to the prediction of career decision self-efficacy.
Download or read book Career Decision Self efficacy Among Students Entering Post secondary Career and Technical Education written by Kathleen Fosbinder Smith and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular models of traditional student persistence show a positive relationship to social and academic integration at the learning institution. However, non-traditional students are less integrated socially and academically and are more likely to leave school for reasons beyond the institution's control. Pajares (2002) linked self-efficacy beliefs to academic self-regulation and found that students who believe they are capable of performing the task at hand use more cognitive strategies, work harder, persist longer, and find ways around obstacles. This field study examined popular models of student persistence for traditional and for non-traditional students, along with three years of attrition records at the Tennessee College of Applied Technology in Dickson, Tennessee. It is hypothesized that career decision self-efficacy (the degree to which a student feels confident in his or her choice of training program) is predictive of institutional integration and student success in career/technical education.

Book excerpt: Engineering skills and knowledge are foundational to technological innovation and development that drive long-term economic growth and help solve societal challenges. Therefore, to ensure national competitiveness and quality of life it is important to understand and to continuously adapt and improve the educational and career pathways of engineers in the United States. To gather this understanding it is necessary to study the people with the engineering skills and knowledge as well as the evolving system of institutions, policies, markets, people, and other resources that together prepare, deploy, and replenish the nation's engineering workforce. This report explores the characteristics and career choices of engineering graduates, particularly those with a BS or MS degree, who constitute the vast majority of degreed engineers, as well as the characteristics of those with non-engineering degrees who are employed as engineers in the United States. It provides insight into their educational and career pathways and related decision making, the forces that influence their decisions, and the implications for major elements of engineering education-to-workforce pathways.

Download or read book Communities in Action written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
