“…Mladi u tom razdoblju polako ulaze u svijet odraslih u kojem se potrebno dokazati i pokazati sva znanja i sposobnosti kako bi bili konkurentni na fakultetima i tržištu rada (Havighurst, 1972;Parker, Summerfeldt, Hogan, i Majeski, 2004). Stoga ne čudi što učenici prepoznaju važnost tog izbora te često doživljavaju poteškoće u odlučivanju o budućim studijima i željenim poslovima (Cantor, Norem, Niedenthal, Langston, i Brower, 1987;Galotti, 1999;McDaniels, Carter, Heinzen, Candrl, i Wieberg, 1994). Slično tome, dojmljiv je i prijelaz iz osnovne u srednju školu koji za većinu mladih označava vrijeme donošenja prvih samostalnih odluka o izboru budućeg zanimanja, odnosno obrazovnog programa koji će ih pripremiti za to zanimanje.…”

“…During this time, adolescents slowly enter the adult world in which they will have to prove themselves and show all their skills and abilities in order to be competitive in college and the job market (Havighurst, 1972;Parker, Summerfeldt, Hogan, & Majeski, 2004). Therefore, it is not surprising that students typically recognize the importance of this choice and often experience difficulties deciding about future college majors and jobs (Cantor, Norem, Niedenthal, Langston, & Brower, 1987;Galotti, 1999;McDaniels, Carter, Heinzen, Candrl, & Wieberg, 1994). Similarly, the transition from elementary to high school is significant as it, for many individuals, represents a chance to make first independent decisions regarding future occupations and educational programs that would prepare them for those.…”

Despite its relevance and potential long-term consequences for each individual, the process of students' transition from elementary schools to high schools has still not been sufficiently explored nor understood. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the goals of describing how students make decisions regarding their future high schools and establishing the contribution of individuals' earlier school achievement and own perception of such achievement for their career decision self-efficacy and expectations regarding high schools. In addition, the study aimed to determine the relevance of career decision self-efficacy for the explored decision-making process. The obtained results indicate the correlation between students' evaluation of own academic performance, but not their objective school achievement, and their evaluation of personal efficacy in career decisionmaking. Perceived academic control, as well as students' knowledge of potential occupations and the world of work in general, were revealed as significant predictors of their career decision self-efficacy. Furthermore, career decision self-efficacy and perceived academic control were identified as significant predictors of students' high school expectations. The obtained results confirm the relevance of developing students' career competencies that are crucial for the formulation of more positive expectations and a more active engagement in choosing their future high schools.

“…Another person described them as "invaluable" (M. Merrill, e-mail, August 2000). McDaniels, et al (1994) cited numerous examples of where paraprofessional programs have proved to be a valuable resource. Heppner and Johnston (1993) suggested that many students actually prefer to receive help from a peer rather than a professional.…”

“…One of the longest standing models of the use of paraprofessionals in career services can be found at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Several articles and publications have highlighted various aspects of this program (Feehan & Wade, 1998;Hansen & Johnston, 1986;McDaniels, Carter, Heinzen, Candrl, & Wieberg, 1994). As best as the author can determine, there has not been a detailed survey on the use of paraprofessionals in career services since the study conducted by Whitt (1993).…”

“…Some students select a major on the basis of suggestions from their families or high school guidance counselors (McDaniels, Carter, Heinzen, Candri, & Wieberg, 1994;Workman, 2015a). Others may benefit from those college advisors who receive extra training or professional development to work with undecided students on academic major selection (Workman, 2015a(Workman, , 2015b.…”

First-Generation Students With Undecided Majors: A Qualitative Study of University Reacculturation

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

When they enter institutions of higher education, students typically leave behind one culture to join another. Despite the higher rates of attrition for first-generation students over continuing-generation students and undecided students over declared students, little research has been focused on undeclared first-generation students. To understand the challenges and experiences of first-generation undecided students transitioning to a new and unfamiliar academic environment, we applied a reacculturation process to this qualitative exploratory case study of 35 students. Data came from interviews, focus group interactions, observations, and written responses to open-ended questions, which were subsequently triangulated. Findings revealed heightened feelings of stress, desire to become comfortable on campus, reliance upon continuing-generation friends, helpfulness of a specialized first-year seminar course, and uncertainty about advisors' roles.
