Using Values‐Based Webinar Interventions to Facilitate Career‐Life Exploration and Planning

Abstract

Using a quasi‐experimental design, the authors examined whether career indecision could be reduced by participation in a values‐based career webinar designed to translate various types of psychological data (e.g., Holland‐type themes) into values‐based language. Participants (N = 67; 36 women, 31 men; mean age = 36 years) were divided into 1 control and 2 treatment groups. The 1st treatment group received an interest‐based intervention. The 2nd received a values‐based intervention. Both interventions consisted of 1 additional webinar spanning 1 hour in length. This study demonstrated a statistical significance of career indecision decrease through use of the values‐based, process‐oriented webinar intervention, which is particularly helpful to career counselors working with adults. The study also illustrated the effective application of online technology as a service delivery tool. Future research might examine the efficacy of this intervention in a variety of settings (e.g., K–12, postsecondary, agency, mental health, corporate).

An Online Career Intervention for Promoting Chinese High School Students’ Career Readiness

“…Hypothesis 3 was not verified. Although some studies found gender had a significant impact on career intervention ( Cassie and Chen, 2012 ; Hechtlinger and Gati, 2019 ), our finding was consistent with other studies ( Nota et al, 2016 ; Thul-Sigler and Colozzi, 2019 ; Gu et al, 2020 ). The online career intervention was perceived to be the same appropriate by both girls and boys.…”

“…While Cassie and Chen (2012) found that male high school students’ career decision-making self-efficacy was positively affected by the support they received. Maree (2019) detected no gender difference in the effectiveness of high school career counseling, confirming the findings of other researches ( Nota et al, 2016 ; Thul-Sigler and Colozzi, 2019 ). Finally, a study conducted in China concluded that high school girls retained more information about prospective careers whereas boys performed better in career decision-making self-efficacy following input ( Gu et al, 2020 ).…”

Opinie więźniów na temat wykonywanej przez nich pracy podczas odbywania kary pozbawienia wolności w polskich zakładach karnych

“…Dlatego tak ważne jest, aby w zakładach karnych mieli możliwość zdobywania wiedzy i umiejętności, które będą mogli wykorzystać po opuszczeniu placówki. Należy także pokazywać im zalety i znaczenie wolontariatu, który poza pozyskiwaniem doświadczenia pozwala im na rozwój kompetencji społecznych, niezwykle istotnych w życiu osobistym i zawodowym 40 . Nie bez znaczenia jest również profesjonalne szkolenie kadry penitencjarnej, która, jak się okazuje, ma silny wpływ na niektórych skazanych.…”

Accompagnement en orientation à distance : réflexions d’ordre déontologique de conseillers et conseillères d’orientation

“…Les recherches visant à comparer l'efficacité des interventions en face à face et celles menées à distance rapportent régulièrement que les pratiques d'accompagnement à distance semblent être aussi efficaces que celles menées en personne (Barak et al, 2008 ;Calbring et al, 2018 ;Calkins, 2021;Gaggioli, 2018;Hanley et Reynold, 2009 ;Fluckiger et al, 2018 ;Irvine et al, 2020 ;Kraus, 2011 ;Richards et Vigano, 2013 ;Watts et al, 2016). Des recherches récentes menées dans le champ spécifique de l'orientation mettent également en évidence l'efficacité des interventions menées à distance (Kiuru et al, 2021;Pordelan et al, 2020;Pordelan et Hosseinian, 2021;Pordelan et Hosseinian, 2022;Santilli et al, 2022;Thul-Sigler et Colozzi, 2019).…”
