Career Decision of Recent First-generation Postsecondary Graduates at a Metropolitan Region in Canada: A Social Cognitive Career Theory Approach
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Using social cognitive career theory by Lent, Brown and Hackett (1994), this research analyzed recent first-generation postsecondary graduates’ career perspectives and the difficulties of being first-generation graduates. The researcher found that recent first-generation postsecondary graduates in a Canadian metropolitan model their career pathway and decisions after peers with similar experiences. Also, the professional suggestions from parents were not available for both academic and career planning. This finding suggested career counselors should not only suggest career pathways to students based on their characteristics, but they should also connect their overall personal characteristics and academic majors. Earlier studies showed that students’ childhood and teenage experiences could influence their outcome expectations for career selection. S’appuyant sur la théorie cognitive-sociale de l’orientation professionnelle de Lent, Brown et Hackett (1994), cette recherche a analysé les perspectives de carrière d’étudiants ayant récemment obtenu un diplôme postsecondaire ainsi que les difficultés liées au fait d’être la première génération de diplômés du postsecondaire. Le chercheur a trouvé que les membres de la première génération de diplômés récents du postsecondaire dans une métropole canadienne orientent leur cheminement et leurs décisions professionnelles sur ceux de leurs pairs avec des expériences similaires. Il a également noté l’absence de suggestions de la part des parents relatives à la planification académique et professionnelle. Ces résultats portent à croire que les conseillers en orientation ne devraient pas se limiter à proposer des cheminements professionnels basés sur les traits des étudiants, mais devraient également tenir compte de leurs traits de caractère et de leurs spécialisation académique. Des études antérieures ont démontré que les expériences que vivent les étudiants pendant leur enfance et adolescence peuvent influencer leurs attentes de résultats quant au choix de carrière. Mots clés : orientation professionnelle, psychopédagogie, première génération de diplômés, théorie cognitive-sociale de l’orientation professionnelle, développement sain des jeunes

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
