“…The career expectations of general high school students and adolescents have been extensively studied over decades, accumulating informative evidence for educational policies. Previous studies have formed coherent conclusions that demographic profiles such as gender [3], family background [4], self-belief/efficacy [5], social support [6,7] (e.g. support from parents, teachers and peers) and cultural context [8] have a significant influence on students' career choices.…”

Background: Academically talented high school students (ATHSSs), an exceptional cohort, are not well studied for their career expectations, especially for those with medical career expectation (MCE). Nowadays, the public perception of the medical profession is changing in China. The purpose of this study was to answer questions about 'is medicine attractive for ATHSSs and 'what factors affect medical career expectations (MCE) for ATHSSs' in China. Methods: A total of 16,479 representative ATHSSs in senior three completed a questionnaire and four different academic tests. Frequency statistics showed the proportion of ATHSSs with MCE. Unpaired t-tests were performed to find out the differences in demographics, family background, and academic performance between students with and without MCE. The logit models analysis were applied to explore the potential factors that affected the MCE of this exceptional group of students. Results: ATHSSs with MCE accounted for 20.6% (ranking 7/18) of the respondents. They were more likely to be female, came from relatively poorer families, lived in a rural area, and performed significantly worse in all academic tests except for mathematics, compared with those without MCE. In addition, the results revealed that gender (β = − 0.436, p < 0.01), region of hometown (β = − 103, p < 0.1), mother's years of schooling (β = − 0.019, p < 0.05), and father's occupational status (β = − 0.005, p < 0.01) contributed significantly to the MCE of academically talented students. Better performance in mathematics affected the MCE of ATHSSs taking the liberal arts and science tests differently. Conclusions: We found the medical career is becoming unattractive to academically talented students and the medical career may be losing their aura in China. Students who have medical career expectations are likely to be females and to have a weak family background.

“…Igualmente se debe tomar conciencia de que en toda toma de decisiones se está implicando a quién rodea al sujeto que decide (Slaten y Baskin, 2014;Olle y Fouad, 2015;Fouad, Kim, Ghosh, Chang y Figueiredo, 2016;Sleesman and Coulon, 2017;Morcionetti y Rosier, 2017;Lim y You, 2019). De ahí la importancia de hacer partícipes de las decisiones a las personas próximas y que forman parte de la vida del sujeto, en el caso que nos ocupa el alumnado de secundaria.…”

“…Estas diferencias pueden ser debidas a una mayor incidencia e implicación del centro y de la familia en la ayuda y consejo en la toma de decisiones. El profesorado y las familias han de tener un papel importante en el proceso de toma de decisiones (Santana y Feliciano, 2011;Olle y Fouad, 2015;Fouad, Kim, Ghosh, Chang y Figueiredo, 2016;Lim y You, 2019).…”

RESUMEN En este estudio se analiza la relevancia que tienen las dimensiones cognitiva, emocional y social en el proceso de toma de decisiones en el alumnado de secundaria, concretamente en 4º de educación secundaria obligatoria (ESO) y 2º de bachillerato, la interrelación entre dichas dimensiones y su relación con el género, el nivel educativo y el tipo de centro. En el estudio participaron 494 alumnos/as, 288 de 4º de ESO y 206 de 2º de Bachillerato de cuatro centros de la provincia de Barcelona (2 públicos y 2 concertados). Para ello, se elaboró un cuestionario de toma de decisiones con tres subescalas que corresponden a las dimensiones cognitiva, emocional y social. Los resultados obtenidos confirman que en los procesos de toma de decisiones influyen, de forma significativa, las tres dimensiones con una relevancia muy similar. Igualmente se aprecia una fuerte interrelación entre las tres dimensiones, con correlaciones altamente significativas entre sí. El coeficiente más alto se produce entre las dimensiones cognitiva y emocional. Esto confirma que en la toma de decisiones tiene tanto peso la emoción como la cognición. Y en cuanto a la relación de estas dimensiones con las variables género y nivel educativo no se aprecian diferencias significativas, en cambio sí se producen diferencias significativas con la variable tipo de centro (público y concertado), concretamente en las dimensiones cognitiva y social. En los centros concertados las puntuaciones son ligeramente más altas. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto la necesidad de acompañar al alumnado de estos niveles educativos en el proceso de su toma de decisiones.ABSTRACT This study analyses the importance of the cognitive, emotional and social dimensions in the decision-making process in secondary school students, specifically in 4th year of compulsory secondary education (ESO) and 2nd year of Baccalaureate, the interrelation between these dimensions and how they are related to students’ gender, educational level and type of school. The study involved 494 students, 288 of 4th ESO and 206 of 2nd Baccalaureate (at 16 and 18 years old respectively) from four schools in the province of Barcelona (2 public and 2 concerted school). To do that, a decision-making questionnaire was developed with three subscales that correspond to the cognitive, emotional and social dimensions. The results obtained confirm that the three dimensions with a very similar relevance influence the decision-making processes significantly. Likewise, a strong interrelation between the three dimensions can be found, with highly significant correlations between them. The highest coefficient occurs between the cognitive and emotional dimensions. This confirms that emotion and cognition have as much weight in decision making. Regarding the relationship of these dimensions with the gender and educational level variables, there are no significant differences, however there are significant differences with the type of school variable (public and concerted school), specifically in the cognitive and social dimensions. In the concerted school the scores are slightly higher. The results show the need for guidance and support the students of these educational levels in the process of their decision making.

They were more likely to be female, came from relatively poorer families, lived in a rural area, and performed significantly worse in all academic tests except for mathematics, compared with those without MCE. In addition, the results revealed that gender (β=-0.436, p<0.01), region of hometown (β=-103, p<0.1), mother’s years of schooling (β=-0.019, p<0.05), and father’s occupational status (β=-0.005, p<0.01) contributed significantly to the MCE of academically talented students. Better performance in mathematics affected the MCE of ATHSSs taking the liberal arts and science tests differently. Conclusions: We found the medical career is becoming unattractive to academically talented students and the medical career may be loosing their aura in China. Students who have medical career expectations are likely to be females and to have a weak family background. We discuss implications for medical education.
