‘It's more flexible’: persistence of women engineers in the academy     

Yeukai Angela Mlambo  Reitumetse Obakeng Mabokela 《European Journal of Engineering Education》2017,42(3):271-285

The under-representation of women in engineering is an issue of concern for policy-makers. While much of the existing literature has focussed on understanding reasons for women's under-representation in engineering and related technical fields, there is a paucity of research that examines why women who are already in engineering persist. This study aims to answer the question, why do women engineers in academe persist in a discipline that is generally perceived to be inhospitable to women. Three main challenges, namely gender discrimination, lack of institutional and disciplinary support, and the rigid nature of the workplace, emerged as key impediments to women engineers in the private sector. In contrast, women engineers in the academy identified the flexibility offered by academic environments, the presence of personal support networks, and a passion for teaching and students as critical factors that influenced their decision to remain in academia.  相似文献   

Resisting plateauing: Four veteran teachers’ stories     

Denise G. Meister  Patricia Ahrens 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2011,27(4):770-778

This paper describes and interprets the career experiences of four veteran secondary teachers and their ability to resist plateauing. Three areas of veteran teacher research informed this study: career stages, plateauing, and resiliency. In-depth phenomenological interviews were conducted to investigate and depict the meanings these teachers attached to their career experiences.Several factors emerged for each participant’s resilience. First, building leaders influenced their enthusiasm and professional growth. Second, positive effects on students’ lives affirmed their work. Third, interactions with colleagues promoted growth, and individual support systems helped them bounce back from career frustrations.  相似文献   

Students’ perceptions of career conversations with their teachers     

Kariene Mittendorff  Perry den BrokDouwe Beijaard 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2011,27(3):515-523

Internationally, schools acknowledge their responsibility in guiding students not only in their academic growth, but also in their lifelong career development. In relation to this development, vocational schools in the Netherlands are implementing integral career guidance in which teachers receive a new task in guiding students in developing their own learning and career paths. A questionnaire was developed to investigate students’ perceptions of career guidance by teachers during career conversations, and data involving 28 teachers were collected from 579 students. The study identified four different teacher guidance profiles. Remarkable is that teachers spoke very little about career issues, and school issues were mostly on the agenda. The results indicate that teachers struggle with the transition towards becoming a career guide of students, and aspects influencing the transition into this new role need to be considered.  相似文献

高职院校设立专业职业咨询室的探索与实践   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

龙小军 《科技广场》2011,(12)

职业教育必须始终围绕职业的发展来培养人才。随着职业分工的细化,人职匹配的程度越来越高,高职院校大课堂的就业指导课程很难适应学生个性化职业发展的需求,必须与设立心理咨询室一样开展个性化的职业咨询。职业咨询能够满足学生个性化就业指导的需求,让学生获得支持性的帮助,最终促进个体在职业生涯中的自我成熟和发展。  相似文献
