Download or read book An Examination of the Effect of a Career Exploration Course on the Career Decision Self efficacy of Traditional age Undecided College Students written by Lisa M. Bollman and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the effect of a career exploration course on the career decision self-efficacy of traditional-age undecided college students, utilizing a single group pretest posttest design. The independent variables in this study were research participants' sex, cultural identification, and reported cumulative grade point average. The dependent variable in this study was career decision self-efficacy, which was measured by the Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (Betz, Hammond, & Multon, 2005). The research participants were 141 college students enrolled in a 15-week career exploration course at a mid-sized, open enrollment, urban research institution in the Midwest. A paired samples t-test revealed that traditional-age college students' mean career decision self-efficacy total score increased significantly from the pretest, administered at the beginning of a career exploration course, to the posttest, administered at the end of the career exploration course. One-way analyses of variance found no statistically significant differences between the mean pretest career decision self-efficacy total score of study participants for the variables of sex, cultural identification, and reported cumulative grade point average. One-way analyses of variance of the mean total gain score on the posttest of the CDSE-SF found no significant differences in the total mean gain score of research participants for the variables of sex, cultural identification, and reported cumulative grade point average. A Pearson chi-square analysis revealed that a greater number of research participants who dropped out of the study had reported cumulative grade point averages below 2.0 than those participants who completed the study. An independent samples t-test found the participants who dropped out of the study to have a lower mean pretest career decision self-efficacy total score as measured by the CDSE-SF than those who completed the study. A major contribution of this study to the literature was the examination of grade point average on career decision self-efficacy. One implication of this study is that career exploration courses may be an effective intervention in increasing career decision self-efficacy of traditional-age undecided college students, and point to the need for interventions that promote career decision self-efficacy for college students with grade point averages below 2.0.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project explores self-efficacy, which includes career decision-making self-efficacy(CDMSE). CDMSE is individuals' beliefs that they can successfully complete various tasks associated with career decision-making. For many nontraditional student clients, economic and social forces impact the career development process. In response to such forces, adult re-entry students can take practical steps to prepare for finding employment or when unemployment persists. There are significant career decision-making processes incurred by adult re-entry adult students that are not being addressed during their academic preparation planning.
Download or read book Handbook of Career Development written by Gideon Arulmani and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-02-08 with total page 780 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is focused on work, occupation and career development: themes that are fundamental to a wide range of human activities and relevant across all cultures. Yet theorizing and model building about this most ubiquitous of human activities from international perspectives have not been vigorous. An examination of the literature pertaining to career development, counseling and guidance that has developed over the last fifty years reveals theorizing and model building have been largely dominated by Western epistemologies, some of the largest workforces in the world are in the developing world. Career guidance is rapidly emerging as a strongly felt need in these contexts. If more relevant models are to be developed, frameworks from other cultures and economies must be recognized as providing constructs that would offer a deeper understanding of career development. This does not mean that existing ideas are to be discarded. Instead, an integrative approach that blends universal principles with particular needs could offer a framework for theorizing, research and practice that has wider relevance. The central objective of this handbook is to draw the wisdom and experiences of different cultures together to consider both universal and specific principles for career guidance and counseling that are socially and economically relevant to contemporary challenges and issues. This book is focused on extending existing concepts to broader contexts as well as introducing new concepts relevant to the discipline of career guidance and counseling.

Download or read book Integrating Outcome Research Into Counseling Practice and Training written by Thomas L. Sexton and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The systematic study of counseling occupies a curious position; although a large quantity of research-based knowledge exists, practitioners continue to perceive research as irrelevant. Ways that research and practice can be systematically linked are explored in this book. The goal of the text is to present information on counseling as a process, irrespective of its theoretical and professional alliances. The volume is divided into three parts. Part 1 forms the foundation of the book and presents an analysis of the major criticisms of outcome research, along with a brief overview of the unique nature of counseling outcome research. The four chapters in Part 2 focus on the application of current research-based knowledge to the practice of counseling. Conclusions and recommendations are offered that are deemed representative of stable trends in the body of outcome research, with an emphasis on behavior change across settings and focal areas. Part 3 addresses the integration of research into practice. Practical techniques that practitioners and researchers can use are explored and a pragmatic model of the systematic relationship between counseling research and practice is presented. A model of action to help make research a regular part of daily counseling practice is also provided. Contains an index and approximately 550 references. (RJM)
