“…Validation reduced the scale to a total of 8 items, which were grouped into three dimensions derived from the initial theoretical model -educational level of parents-influence of parents, friendship groups, economic status and social status on decision making, the influence of students' personal interests when making academic decisions, and motivation towards studying for an academic degree. From these results, the present research study, in the same way as others [7,58,59], urges the need to initiate orientation and assessment processes during the first years of secondary school.…”

This study incorporates the design and validation of a questionnaire for the evaluation of Careers Advisory Services and the systematic processes that influence it (family, peer groups, socioeconomic status, etc.). In addition, it examines its psychometric properties within a multicultural population of students attending educational centres in the south of Spain. It seeks to create a valid instrument that is reliable as a measurement tool and useful for evaluating decision making situations relevant to the future working context. A perspective of working life is given through consideration of the degree choices made by those involved in the decision-making process. The metrics used showed high content and construct validity. Structural equation modelling (SEM) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were employed. Indicators described by Wald and Lagrange were used to examine and modify the model in order to obtain a model that best fits relevant theory and goodness of fit criteria. Educ. Sci. 2019, 9, 285 2 of 13 problem [5][6][7][8]. This issue is particularly pertinent for students in the final stage of their education who lack motivation due to not being adequately informed [9]. This is the focus of the present study. Despite challenges to the decision making processes of adolescents, parents respect them, assuming a subsidiary role of support and listening, that influences upon security and self-efficacy [10].Thus, during the stage of secondary education that coincides with academic choice, vocational maturity is still found in a state of crescendo. From this arises the urgent need to work with both families and educational centres in a way that encourages students to take decisions in order to overcome feelings of uncertainty [11].Multiple factors have an influence on decision making. These include the influence of the peer group, the economic situation and individual characteristics, amongst others [12][13][14]. This being said, it has been noted that, amongst these factors, the parental context is one of the most significant variables [15][16][17][18].At the time of making a decision, children feel that they are supported when they see parents who are involved and hold positive expectations [19,20]. One of the central variables is the educational level of parents. If the parents themselves possess university qualifications, it is more likely that their children will also decide to attend university [10].Another of the determining factors in the choice of one's future career is the family's socioeconomic level [21]. This is significant given that it has as much of an effect on the resources available to invest in education, as on the urgency for the child to enter the workplace in order to contribute with an income [22].Thus, achieving professional recognition and prestige, or obtaining a well-paid job, are extrinsic motives [23] in the decision to study for a specific academic career.The vocational and professional orientation and guidance received from careers services, is another one of the key point...

La educación superior de Perú enfrenta una alta tasa de deserción y una baja tasa de retención. La investigación realizada por la Superintendencia Nacional de Educación encontró que el 27% de los estudiantes que acceden a los estudios universitarios abandonan durante el primer año. El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar qué factores internos y externos permiten a los nuevos estudiantes adaptarse con éxito al entorno universitario. Para esta investigación mixta, participaron estudiantes de primer año de la Universidad Católica de Santa María (Arequipa-Perú). Se aplicó un cuestionario con preguntas cerradas a 168 estudiantes y se trabajó un grupo focal con 32 participantes. El análisis de contenido se realizó mediante un proceso de codificación abierta de tres etapas para clasificar los encontrado en temas. Los hallazgos muestran cuatro factores que intervinieron para la adaptación exitosa en el entorno universitario: Metodología de enseñanza y evaluación docente, sistema de orientación y tutoría, identificación de vocación profesional y redes sociales de actividades extracurriculares, en tanto 8 de cada 10 estudiantes presentaron dificultades para lograrlo, obteniendo bajo rendimiento en uno o mas cursos en el primer año. Se concluye, que el apoyo familiar, competencias adquiridas en la secundaria, desempeño, ayudan en la adaptación universitaria.
