Navigating the Path: Exploring Career Choice Dynamics Among Secondary and Higher Secondary School Students
摘要
With an emphasis on individual jobs and the limitations that limit their choices, this research study aims to investigate the factors that influence career training choices made by students in secondary and higher secondary schools. Students’ ability to make good job decisions depends on their career decision self- efficacy, which is impacted by the success they’ve had in exploring other career paths and the presence of supporting surroundings. Using a sequential research approach, the study looked at how factors like gender inequality, educational chances, social pressure, parental pressure, and personal interest influenced each other. Successful career development programs and related educational endeavors can be informed by the findings. The findings also back strong arguments about how school, peer pressure, and parental obligations affect children’s career choices. Student anxiety about choosing poor career choices stems from five main places: a lack of self-awareness, inadequate investigative abilities, cultural and familial value adherence, emotional difficulties, and the fear of failure. An integrated approach utilizing various elements, such as encouraging personal growth, developing curiosity, following parental and teacher direction, making sure appropriate resources are available, and putting an emphasis on practice, is necessary to effectively address these problems.
