“…Selfconfidence, efficacy, or esteem is positively associated with women's choice and persistence in STEM fields (Kinzie, Delcourt, & Powers, 1994). In this context, agency refers to actions that create or advance educational or career development (Betz & Hackett, 1987;Hackett, Betz, & Doty, 1985).…”

Current career literature provides little insight into how women interpret career-relevant experiences, advice, or information, particularly when it is contradictory. This paper uses findings from interviews with 40 college women to provide empirical confirmation for the link between self-authorship and career decision making. Findings underscore the role of inter-connectivity in women's decision making, particularly involving parents, and distinguish ways that this can reflect self-authorship. Self-authorship provides the theoretical framework to understand how students respond to career advice and suggests that students may reject career advice when it requires the cognitive complexity to engage diverse viewpoints. Findings endorse educational activities that require students to juggle competing knowledge claims to make complex decisions.

“…For individuals to effectively employ this tool, individuals must feel selfefficacious in using them. Therefore, it is important to examine the attitudes and perceptions of competence that are encouraged by educational programs (Kinzie et al, 1994). The main purpose of this study was to find out the effect of computer course on young people's computer self-efficacy, computer attitude and computer achievement.…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of computer courses on young individuals' computer self-efficacy, attitudes and achievement. The study group of this research included 60 unemployed young individuals (18-25 ages) in total; 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. An experimental research model with pretest posttest control group was used in the research. The data collection tools were applied as pretest and posttest on both experimental and control groups. During the analysis of the obtained data, paired samples t-test and independent samples t-test were used. After the computer course it has been seen that the course developed computer self-efficacy, computer attitudes and computer achievement levels of participants.

“…Hasan and Jafar (2004) defined self-efficacy as an individual's judgment of their own capabilities to organize and execute courses of action to attain designated performance. Kinzie, Delcourt, and Powers (1994) described self-efficacy as an individual's confidence in his or her ability, which may impact the performance of tasks.…”

Whereas several studies have examined a student's perceived computer skills or objective computer knowledge, few studies have investigated a student's perceived computer knowledge. Even though it may not always be accurate, a student's perceptions of their computer knowledge can nevertheless still be beneficial. This information may be helpful in revealing any predictors that can be identified for student success and can also be used to provide student support for achieving technological mastery. This study looks at the computer knowledge students see themselves possessing, with the purpose of determining if there are any associations between the perceived knowledge and the student's gender, age, use and knowledge of technology, employment status, and technology owned. The results of the study seem to indicate that there are a limited number of associations between gender and a student's knowledge of specific computer topics but no significant associations exist between knowledge and age, current employment status, use/knowledge of technology, and technology owned.
