“…Ispitanici koji žive u potpunim porodicama, tj. sa oba roditelja, percipiraju viši nivo podrške, i to ponajviše u oblasti verbalnog ohrabrivanja, što je saglasno i sa istraživanjima iz drugih sredina (Kelley & Prohn, 2019;Viola & Daniel, 2017), kao i sa nalazima dobijenim ispitivanjem gluvih i nagluvih učenika (Michael et al, 2013). S druge strane, najmanje vrednosti detektovane su u oblasti karijernog modelovanja, i to kod onih ispitanika koji žive u hraniteljskim porodicama.…”

Introduction. Parents are the primary source of advice, information, and mediation in children's career development. For persons with intellectual disabilities, parental support is necessary during all stages of career development, and it is especially important in the period of vocational education. Objectives. The main goal of the paper was to determine how students with intellectual disabilities perceived their parents' support during education for a chosen occupation, with special attention to some factors of the family and school environments. Methodes. The sample consisted of 155 participants with mild intellectual disability undergoing professional training in schools for students with developmental disabilities. The Career-Related Parental Support Scale was used in the research. It was designed to assess adolescent perceptions of parental support across the domains of instrumental assistance, emotional support, verbal encouragement, and career-related modeling. Results. In the sample as a whole, the participants perceived the greatest parental support in the domain of verbal encouragement and the least in career-related modeling. Greater support from their parents in career development was perceived by those who lived in a family environment with both parents, as well as those whose parents were more educated, compared to students of senior classes and those who achieved excellent results, while no differences were found in relation to the gender. Conclusion. The analysis of the obtained results indicated certain deficiencies in the field of career guidance and counseling of students with intellectual disabilities. The obtained findings point to the need to improve cooperation with students' families in this field and empower them in relation to the ways in which they can contribute to the career success of children. Also, the necessity of expanding knowledge in the field of career development for a deeper understanding of the key problems in this field was highlighted.

<p>The study aimed to investigate the factors determining the students’ career choice and find out their job preparedness strategies. Moreover, the study sought to propose a theory which could explain the students’ career choice from a social environmental perspective. Primary data for this study were collected from 120 students selected from fourteen academic departments of the Noakhali Science and Technology University (NSTU) in Bangladesh based on snow-ball sampling. The study revealed that several factors involving students’ family preferences, teachers’ advice, job prestige, job security, remunerations, scope of promotion, scope of pension, scope of professional development, personal interests, academic majors, educational attainments and career development trainings have significant association with the students’ career decision-making. However, gender and social class did not have significant effects on the students’ career choice. The study proposed a career choice theory which indicates that the students’ career choice and career preferences are not determined by their personal interests alone; rather they are determined by the interplay of several social, cultural and economic forces. The study indicated that the majority of the respondents undertake self-study to pursue their preferred jobs. While career development trainings play an important role in developing the competencies of the students for jobs, a majority of the respondents do not have such trainings. As such, the study suggested that the students of the NSTU should undertake career development courses as a strategy for job preparedness. Finally, the study suggested that the NSTU should set up a career guidance and counseling cell to link their students with the current labor market.</p>

Artikel ini melaporkan mengenai hasil dari kajian sistematik terhadap artikel jurnal ilmiah yang membahas perihal harapan-harapan orang tua yang tidak realistis yang berdampak pada kondisi akademik anak. Dalam mengumpulkan artikel terdahulu, kami menggunakan pangkalan data Google Scholar dan PubMed untuk mencari artikel nasional maupun internasional. Artikel ini mengambil berbagi pangkalan data dengan menggunakan pendekatan pendekatan Preferred Reporting Items For Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) dengan masa penerbitan 15 tahun terakhir. Responden yang diteliti dalam sumber bacaan kami adalah remaja dan orang tua. Berdasarkan enam artikel terpilih dan dianalisis mengungkapkan bahwa harapan orang tua yang tidak realistis seringkali berdampak pada akademik anak. Hal ini terjadi dikarenakan tuntutan dan tekanan yang diberikan oleh orang tua untuk pendidikan anaknya justru memicu distres psikologis yang membuat anak menjadi takut akan kegagalan (fear of failure) dan anak akan berusaha untuk mendapatkan hasil yang memenuhi harapan orang tuanya. Namun, dampak ini juga menimbulkan pribadi anak yang mudah takut, merasa tidak cukup, dan depresi. Hasil dari kajian ini diharapkan bisa menjadi pertimbangan bagi orang tua yang menaruh harapan tidak realistisnya dalam bidang akademik anak agar bisa dampak yang akan terjadi di masa depan, juga menjadi antisipasi bagi keluarga-keluarga yang menjunjung tinggi pendidikan.
