Karacan-Ozdemir, Nurten; Ayaz, Ahmet – Journal of Career Development, 2022
The current study suggested and tested a model to investigate the associations between adolescent future expectations of work and education (AFE-WE; adaptive responses) and positive future expectations (PFE; adaptivity) through concern, control, curiosity, and confidence (adaptability resources) as well as the role of the gender. The data were…

Kang, Jingoo; Keinonen, Tuula; Salonen, Anssi – Research in Science Education, 2021
According to previous theories and studies, interest and self-concept at an early age have played a pivotal role in occupational choices, especially in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. However, a causal relationship between interest, self-concept, and aspirations in science is still under debate. In addition, few…

Yukhymenko-Lescroart, Mariya; Sharma, Gitima; Stephens, Jason M. – Journal of College Student Development, 2022
Academic misconduct has been conceptualized as students' engagement in various types of proscribed behaviors, such as plagiarism and cheating on assignments and tests or exams (e.g., Stephens et al., 2021). While most of the current literature on academic misconduct has focused on developed countries, the problem is rampant across the world (Krou…

Sheldrake, Richard; Mujtaba, Tamjid – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2020
Science-related careers are often considered to be less accessible by many children. More research is needed to distinguish any influences from different aspects of life so that support and/or interventions can be focused to help mitigate any disadvantage and inaccessibility. In order to gain greater understanding of constraints or influences on…

Jiang, Tao; Chen, Ji-gen; Xu, Ping-chuan; Zeng, Ping-fei – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2022
Although much research has explored the personal, family, school, and social influences on adolescents' career expectations, little is known about the types of family-related career expectations of students and career expectation contexts in school. Using PISA 2018 test data, a multilevel latent profile analysis was conducted with indicators of…

Fuchs, Travis T.; Sonnert, Gerhard; Scott, Sandra A.; Sadler, Philip M.; Chen, Chen – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2022
Shortages of science and mathematics teachers are a serious concern in the United States. Despite the implementation of intervention strategies to address this problem at the high school level, little empirical research had been conducted to inform and strengthen these initiatives. This retrospective cohort study used multinomial logistic…
