20.500.12556/DKUM-88616 Lower secondary school experiences as predictors of career aspirations toward engineering, and production and processing occupations The global demand for technically educated persons is greater than the supply. It is believed that interest and school experience can influence career choice. 624 Slovenian high school students participated in the survey. Exploratory and Confirmatory Factorial Analysis procedures were used to investigate the influence of school and out-of-school-related factors on career aspirations. Predictors of career aspirations in (a) engineering and (b) production and processing occupations in the models were: (1) students’ opinions on technical topics, (2) the content of school subject Technics and Technology; and (3) related classroom experiences. The results of the models showed that career aspirations were explained by out-of-school generated opinions on technical topics and not by school-related factors. Boys are more enthusiastic than girls in their career aspirations for technically oriented occupations. This calls for a fundamental revision of the school subject and the corresponding teaching. career aspirations classroom experiences SEM analysis engineering production and processing karierne želje šolske izkušnje SEM analiza inženirstvo proizvodnja in procesi true true true Taylor and Francis Group Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-05-16 03:13:53 2024-09-20 14:02:24 2024-09-21 03:13:34 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 str. 833-850 no. 5 Vol. 47 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2020-05-03 2022-01-12 2022-02-03 37.018:373.5 96417027 10.1080/03043797.2022.2033169 0304-3797 RAZ_Ploj_Virtic_Mateja_2022.pdf RAZ_Ploj_Virtic_Mateja_2022.pdf 1 7394042F27648D6A2EB0A5A182FB0D20 859a64826daea80f55f36d9ee9f359b038110d3742fad9e6b833f9bacbe28ce5 9cc1f3c4-7747-11ef-9603-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=185577 https://doi.org/10.1080/03043797.2022.2033169 0 b1ea8ce5-7747-11ef-9603-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=185578 Fakulteta za naravoslovje in matematiko 0 0 0
