DONALD SUPER’S
   C AREER PATTERN STUDY



 A longitudinal study of
100 men from ninth grade
     through age 35
DONALD SUPER’S C AREER THEORY
(A MMUNDSON , N.E., H ARRIS -B OWLSBEY, J., & N ILES , S.G., 2005)




One’s career is influenced
  and mediated by one’s
       self-concept
DONALD SUPER’S C AREER THEORY
(A MMUNDSON , N.E., H ARRIS -B OWLSBEY, J., & N ILES , S.G., 2005)




        Career development
         is a lifelong process
DONALD SUPER’S C AREER THEORY
(A MMUNDSON , N.E., H ARRIS -B OWLSBEY, J., & N ILES , S.G., 2005)




         Career is more than a job.
   It is the combination of all of the
  activities that take place in life roles
    being played by an individual at a
            given point in time.
SUPER’S C AREER DEVELOPMENT STAGES



        Growth (roughly to age 11),
    Exploration (approximately 11-20),
   Establishment (20 to mid-adulthood),
   Maintenance (mid to late adulthood),
     Disengagement (late adulthood).
SUPER’S C AREER DEVELOPMENT


A critical notion within Super’s theory is
that, in making a vocational choice, an
   individual is expressing his or her
  self-concept. Thus, it is critical that
  students have accurate knowledge
about themselves, or they may choose
  occupations that do not match well
      with their interests and skills.
Research Paper: Stratton’s (2000) research paper, “Muddling Through: What Do
Teens Want from Career Counsellors?”


                WHAT DO TEENS
               WANT FROM CAREER
                 COUNSELLORS
3 Important Dimensions of Education and Career
          Development & Counselling



         Concerns about the
         Future

         Changing & Unrealistic
         Career Aspirations

         Information Gathering &
         Decision Making Process
Stratton’s (2000) research paper, “Muddling Through:
   What Do Teens Want from Career Counsellors?”




  • Concerns about the Future

  When making plans for the future, it was found
  that students reported their three greatest
  concerns as:

     • being able to find a job they like (82%);
     • affordability to go to college or university (65%);
     • and having the right results they wanted (59%).
Stratton’s (2000) research paper, “Muddling Through:
   What Do Teens Want from Career Counsellors?”




  • Changing and Unrealistic Career Aspirations

  Students change career ideas or intended college and
  university programmes because it is expected of them
  rather than because they are deeply committed to that
  career goal. Also, the research revealed that many
  students set unrealistic career goals. Clearly, they
  need more focused information about how
  educational choices and career goals relate.
Stratton’s (2000) research paper, “Muddling Through:
   What Do Teens Want from Career Counsellors?”




  • Information Gathering and Decision Making
  Process

  The research also showed that teenagers gather
  information and make decision that involves multiple
  sources. The two greatest influences on student
  decisions were perceptions of interest and ability.

  • 21. 3 Important Dimensions of Education and Career Development & Counselling Concerns about the Future Changing & Unrealistic Career Aspirations Information Gathering & Decision Making Process
  • 22. Stratton’s (2000) research paper, “Muddling Through: What Do Teens Want from Career Counsellors?” • Concerns about the Future When making plans for the future, it was found that students reported their three greatest concerns as: • being able to find a job they like (82%); • affordability to go to college or university (65%); • and having the right results they wanted (59%).
  • 23. Stratton’s (2000) research paper, “Muddling Through: What Do Teens Want from Career Counsellors?” • Changing and Unrealistic Career Aspirations Students change career ideas or intended college and university programmes because it is expected of them rather than because they are deeply committed to that career goal. Also, the research revealed that many students set unrealistic career goals. Clearly, they need more focused information about how educational choices and career goals relate.
  • 24. Stratton’s (2000) research paper, “Muddling Through: What Do Teens Want from Career Counsellors?” • Information Gathering and Decision Making Process The research also showed that teenagers gather information and make decision that involves multiple sources. The two greatest influences on student decisions were perceptions of interest and ability.

Editor's Notes

  1. With the almost overnight shift from assemblers and exporters of technology to heavy users of technology, vast cultural transformations have taken place. Wages have increased, working hours have increased, number of mothers in the workforce has increased and a whole array of Western influences have gushed in – fashion, music, fast food, new ways of thinking, values.Technology – Asian parents want their children more versed in technologyGlobal Skills – Be prepared to meet the new world and able to work with people of diverse backgroundsAnalytical & Life Skills – Go beyond factual knowledge by gaining strong analytical, creativity and team skillsAsian values – honesty, respect, close family ties. Downsides of technology: addictions to online games/ pornography. Downsides of Global Skills: Fear of losing their children to the world as they forget their home roots. Fear of losing the “Asian values”
  2. It was their way of saying, “These are the traits we want in our employees, so it would be nice if schools could somehow produce these same traits in their students and graduates.”
  3. Partnership for 21st Century Skills is a national organization; a joint undertaking between businesses and educators. The Framework presents a holistic view of 21st century teaching and learning that combines a discrete focus on 21st century student outcomes (a blending of specific skills, content knowledge, expertise and literacies) with innovative support systems to help students master the multi-dimensional abilities required of them in the 21st century. The key elements of 21st century learning are represented in the graphic and descriptions below. The graphic represents both 21st century skills student outcomes (as represented by the arches of the rainbow) and 21st century skills support systems (as represented by the pools at the bottom).
  4. Since not all four of these needs are met in every home, many students come to school hungry for them. Teachers oftentimes find themselves having to meet these needs.One of the most harmful form of identity theft in today’s society is not what is happening in our economy but in our youth. Youths are pressured into becoming somebody other than who they in their heart of hearts want to be. Youths are deprived of their feelings of worth and uniqueness.
  5. Work to LiveMay be that your life’s centre is outside your work. You are more motivated by the things you do outside work than the things which earn you a living – your salary I simply to fund your dream. But some may feel that something vital is missing and may also struggle to define it.Live to WorkYou may have found the best job in the world. There are dangers here too and your work/ life balance may need adjustment. Perhaps work plays too important a part in your life? – sometimes at the expense of family or personal development.
