14. DONALD SUPER’S
C AREER PATTERN STUDY
A longitudinal study of
100 men from ninth grade
through age 35
15. 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
16. 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
17. 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.
18. 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).
19. 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.

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.

You got to find what you love.
The only way to be truly satisfied
is to do what you believe is great
work…and the only way to do
great work is to love what you do.
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”
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.”
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).
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.
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.
