Career aspirations of undergraduate economic students

Naidoo, Emmanuel Rajugopal Gangia January 1999 (has links)
Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Education in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Zululand, 1999. / Since the emergence of the new democratic dispensation in the South African political arena, promises of more work opportunities, and hence a better life-style for the previously deprived citizens, inundate the media. The financial staff of the Sunday Tribune (February 9, 1997 :1) state that the government has committed itself to a coherent market-oriented economic growth plan in its Growth, Employment and Redistribution strategy (Gear). There appears to be tremendous shortages of personnel skilled in the economic sciences and as a result more students have undertaken to study economics so that they may have the necessary qualifications to gain access to these economically-linked careers. By directing this research specifically at the career aspirations of undergraduate economic students, much could possibly be done in teaching, and guiding them toward the realisation of their aspirations. The aims of this study were: * To pursue a study of relevant literature on achievement motivation, career choice and the self-concept. * To undertake an empirical investigation into the career aspirations of a group of undergraduate economic students at the University of Zululand, Durban-Umlazi campus. * To provide certain guidelines and recommendations regarding the inclusion of economics in a university curriculum that may help the student realise his career aspirations. Research with regard to this study was conducted as follows: * A literature study of available, relevant literature. * An empirical study comprising self-structured questionnaires completed by 304 undergraduate economic students of the University of Zululand (Durban-Umlazi Campus). The findings revealed, inter alia, that there are more female students engaged in further tertiary education; some students find it difficult to obtain career information; great difficulty is experienced by some students in getting to 'know themselves'; some students are not adequately trained in decision-making skills, and there is a limited number of trained vocational guidance counsellors to help them with career related problems. In the light of the aims and findings of the study, the following were recommended to tertiary educational institutions: provision of career resource centres; availability of trained vocational and subject advisors; establishment of employment contact offices, and an active mechanism should be set in motion to assist students to 'know themselves' and to develop their decision-making skills. This investigation has the following value: * It provides information on necessary prerequisites to enter economic-related careers. * The research served as an indicator of the relevance of economics in certain career aspirations.

Rationalité et aspirations : la théorie de la rationalité de l'acteur dans l'analyse des aspirations scolaires au cours secondaire

Assogba, Yao Ayekotan 25 April 2018 (has links)
La présente recherche tente d'étudier l'inégalité des niveaux d'aspirations scolaires des élèves du cours secondaire. Les aspirations scolaires étant considérées comme un phénomène a la fois individuel et social, la question fondamentale à laquelle cette recherche essaie de répondre est la suivante. - Peut-on mieux comprendre et expliquer l'inégalité des niveaux d'aspirations scolaires des jeunes québécois selon les origines sociales, en mettant principalement en relation la position sociale et l'estime de soi qui sont impliquées dans la dynamique des aspirations en général? - Quelle est l'importance relative de certaines variables (sexe, réussite scolaire et voie d'apprentissage) dans les projets scolaires que formulent les élèves? Pour donner quelques éléments de réponses à ces questions l'auteur a été amené, dans une première étape, à situer le sujet dans la problématique plus globale des inégalités sociales et scolaires et dans celle des théories sociologiques élaborées pour les expliquer. La théorie de la rationalité de l'acteur élaborée par Boudon (1979-1973) a été retenue pour les fins de la recherche. Elle a été adaptée à l'étude plus particulière des inégalités d'aspirations scolaires grâce à des éléments théoriques et conceptuels empruntés à la théorie psycho-sociologique des aspirations développée par Rocher (1976). Dix-huit (18) hypothèses (secondaires et principales) ont été formulées à partir du cadre d'analyse. L'échantillon de l'étude est constitué de 3 301 élèves de troisième année de l’enseignement secondaire (1974). Il s’agit des données de l'enquête ASOPE (1972 à 1977). Les méthodes d'analyse utilisées sont l'analyse tabulaire avec élaboration et le ratio pour évaluer les chances relatives des différents agents sociaux. Toutes les hypothèses secondaires ont été vérifiées. Dans le modèle de base les relations entre l'estime de soi et les aspirations scolaires, puis entre le statut socio-économique et les aspirations scolaires ont été significatives. Mais de manière inattendue la relation entre le statut socio-économique et l'estime de soi n'a pas été significative. Des hypothèses explicatives ont été avancées pour faire comprendre cette absence de relation significative. La recherche de structure d'interaction (à partir du ratio) entre les variables de recherche considérées trois par trois permet d'interpréter les inégalités des niveaux d'aspirations scolaires comme les conséquences des "projets de décisions" intentionnels des élèves et/ou des unités familiales en fonction des paramètres coûts/risques/bénéfices anticipés d'ordre économique, social et psychologique. Ces paramètres étant associés à la position sociale, à l'estime de soi, au sexe, à la réussite scolaire et à la voie d'apprentissage; puis correspondants à un niveau d'études donné. La structure d'interaction, en termes de chances relatives à partir du ratio, a été observée entre les variables suivants: - le statut socio-économique, la réussite scolaire et les aspirations scolaires; - le statut socio-économique, la voie d'apprentissage et les aspirations scolaires; - l'estime de soi, le sexe et les aspirations scolaires. Les différences des niveaux d'aspirations scolaires ont donc été interprétées dans la perspective de la théorie de la rationalité de l'acteur. Mais la structure d'interaction n'a pas été observée entre le statut socio-économique, le sexe et les aspirations scolaires. Quant aux relations entre l'estime de soi, la réussite scolaire et les aspirations scolaires; puis entre l'estime de soi, la voie d'apprentissage et les aspirations scolaires, elles ont été très complexes â analyser et à interpréter. En dernière analyse, on est maintenant en mesure de répondre à la question posée au début de cette recherche en disant ceci: la mise en relation du statut socio-économique et de l'estime de soi (principalement) permet de comprendre et d'expliquer dans une large mesure les inégalités d'aspirations scolaires. Les variables sexe, réussite scolaire et voie d'apprentissage jouent, plus ou moins selon les conditions, un rôle d'estimation des risques qu'encourent les élèves et/ou leurs parents dans leurs projets d'investissement scolaire. / Québec Université Laval, Bibliothèque 2015

Black and White Adolescents' Aspirations and Achievement in Mathematics: A Regional Comparison

Hinson, Kenneth Earl 22 April 2002 (has links)
Research on the comparison of educational aspirations among Black and White students has produced conflicting results. Some studies at the national level have shown that the level of educational aspirations for college between these two groups is similar, while other studies at the state, regional, or local level have shown differences. The National Education Longitudinal Study (NELS: 88) database and its 1990 and 1992 follow-ups were used to answer questions and test hypotheses about these differences. The NELS: 88 database is comprised of data initially collected on almost 25,000 eighth graders and over 22,000 parents together representing more 1,000 public and private schools. The study sample was comprised of approximately 1,500 Black and over 9,500 White high school seniors who were part of the tenth to twelfth grade cohort, attended public school, and remained in the same region between tenth and twelfth grade. Data were examined to determine if there were regional influences on the relationship between students’ educational aspirations and their achievement in mathematics. Educational aspiration did not explain different amounts of variance in mathematics achievement across the four U.S. census regions. Region, however, was related to differences in White students’ aspiration but indicated no differences for Blacks. Sex and mathematics-curriculum were related to differences in aspirations within race for both Black and White students. For both races and regardless of region, a greater proportion of females aspired to attend 4-year college than males did. Students with aspirations, for 4-year college or more, tended to score higher on mathematics achievement tests than those students with aspirations for less than 4-year college. Whether students’ tenth-grade aspirations were the same or different from their twelfth-grade aspirations, no statistically significant difference was detected between their tenth and twelfth-grade achievement. As previous studies have shown, background variables (race, sex, and socioeconomic level) were statistically significant predictors of mathematics achievement. Prior mathematics achievement was an overwhelmingly strong predictor of future mathematics achievement. Once prior mathematics achievement was controlled, the aspirations of significant others (parents and teachers) played no role in explaining achievement in mathematics. / Ph. D.
