Career choice

1. This study underscores the importance of diverse sources of STEM career information
and the value both parents and students place on envisioning futures in STEM fields.
These insights contribute to understanding how early adolescence is a critical period for
forming beliefs about learning and establishing career-related goals.

1. Gender Gap in STEM Education and Career Choices
Despite efforts to promote gender equality, a significant gap remains in Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education and careers. Various factors, including
societal norms, stereotypes, and institutional barriers, influence women’s participation in
STEM fields. This study explores the key determinants affecting gender disparities in STEM
education and career pathways.

2. Enhancing Career Decision-Making in High School Students
Career decision-making is a crucial process for high school students, impacting their future
education and job prospects. Many students struggle with uncertainty and lack the
confidence to make informed choices. This study introduces a decision-analytical
intervention designed to enhance proactive decision-making and career choice self-efficacy,
equipping students with the necessary skills to navigate their career paths effectively.

Parental expectations

1. Parental expectations influence children's academic performance and mental well-being.
Curran(2022) found that rising parental expectations contribute to perfectionism and
stress. While Jeynes (2024) highlighted their positive impact on academic success, Kim
(2022) warned that excessive pressure may harm motivation. Cultural differences also
shape expectations, with Chao and Tseng (2022) noting that Asian parents often set
higher academic standards than Western parents. Balancing encouragement and realistic
goals is key to fostering both achievement and well-being.

2.) Parental expectations greatly influence a child's academic performance, self esteem, and
well-being. While positive expectations can motivate children, excessive pressure may cause
stress and anxiety. Studies show that parental involvement impacts student engagement,
but unrealistic demands can harm self-worth. Cultural factors also shape these expectations.
To foster healthy development, parents should focus on effort, set realistic goals,
communicate openly, and provide unconditional support.

1. The character of parental expectations in affecting children’s academic improvement has
acknowledged substantial attention from sociologist and psychologists over the previous
half century. In general, parental expectations have been found to play a serious role in
children’s academic success. Students whose parents hold high expectations get higher
grades, achieve higher scores on standardized tests, and proceed longer in school than
do those whose parents hold comparatively near to the ground expectations [1].
One of the few ideas in psychology that is nearly beyond question is that parental
expectations and aspirations having substantial, or even large, effects on the achievements
of their children. In several recent studies positive correlations between parental
expectations and student achievement have been documented

Career Decision-Making
blasut
1. The study analyzed the relationships between high school students’
career maturity, career decision-making difficulties, and career decision-
making self-efficacy and aimed to investigate whether career maturity,
career decision-making difficulties and career decision-making self-
efficacy altered according to gender, type of school, and grade level. The
study sample was composed of 665 high school students attending five
different high schools in Bursa. The data collection tools included the
Career Decision-making Difficulties Questionnaire, the Career Maturity
Scale, and the Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale.

This research uses cognitive analytics on a distributed computer system to investigate how
students’ decision-making behaviors relate to their personality traits. The goal of the
research is to improve our knowledge of the variables affecting students’ professional
choices and to offer a solid, expandable framework for individualized career counseling.
