THE DILEMMA OF COLLEGE STUDENTS' PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE AND THE SOLUTION OF EMOTIONAL OBSTACLES

Abstract

BackgroundWith the reform of college graduation distribution system and the fierce competition of market economy, group employment has become more and more difficult. Therefore, the group is under more and more heavy psychological pressure. The main source of group employment pressure lies in the mismatch between employment skills and professional knowledge, which can not meet the needs of enterprises; In addition, there is also a big gap in students' thoughts. Especially for the major of tourism management, during the internship and employment, most enterprises are service industries, which requires colleges and universities to have service skills and professional psychological quality. Professional practice can effectively solve the problems existing in employment in advance, clarify the career direction and alleviate the pressure. The professional practice of the group can not only deepen the understanding of theoretical knowledge, but also contribute to the rapid improvement of practical skills, but also effectively help the group adjust their mentality. Taking the professional practice of the College of tourism of Changchun University as the research object, this paper studies its basic situation, discusses the psychological confusion and practical difficulties encountered by groups in professional practice from the perspective of educational psychology, and gives the optimization path to solve this problem. At the same time, the emotional anxiety produced by the group in the process of practice has gradually become the research object.Research Objects and MethodsThis paper uses educational psychology, two factor theory and stakeholder theory to study through literature review, participant observation and interview, content analysis, questionnaire survey and mathematical analysis. In practice, colleges and universities use incentive policies to improve students' sense of responsibility in professional practice, enterprise application and job satisfaction, and use humanistic care to improve students' sense of belonging in practice. With the help of universities and enterprises, students can master and adjust the psychological cycle and build self-confidence in professional practice. Social avoidance and distress respectively refer to the tendency to avoid social communication and the distress feeling when immersive. Avoidance is a kind of behavior, while distress is an emotional response. The social avoidance and distress (SAD) scale contains 28 items, of which 14 are used to evaluate social avoidance and 14 are used to evaluate social distress. The initial rating was “Yes No”, but many researchers used a five grade rating system. The “Yes No” scoring system ranges from 0 (the lowest level of avoidance and distress) to 28 (the highest level). When the “Yes No” scoring system is adopted, the average value of college students is 9.1 and its standard deviation (SD) is 8.0 (Watson and friend, 1969). However, the distribution is quite biased. Therefore, many researchers use the 5-level score system to replace the “Yes No” score system. In the sample prototype, the score of men is significantly higher than that of women.ResultsImprovements should be made from three aspects: schools, enterprises and students, including formulating intern career development and training plans, ensuring high-quality living and working conditions, strengthening students' off campus management system, implementing comprehensive evaluation and summarizing practice in time. This improved method can effectively manage professional practice. The study also found that foreign language anxiety was negatively correlated with foreign language achievement. Similarly, there is a significant negative correlation between Employment anxiety and self-efficacy. State anxiety, trait anxiety and Employment anxiety were positively correlated. The “anxiety” component of learners' personality characteristics plays an important role in the generation of Employment anxiety.ConclusionBased on educational psychology and two factor theory, this study explores the optimization path of Undergraduate Practice of tourism management through empirical research, which not only innovates the research perspective, but also enriches the above related theories. The practical significance of this study is to guide students to correctly understand and participate in professional practice, realize stable employment, provide basis for reasonable arrangement of professional practice, improve the professional commitment of application-oriented groups, and provide reference for internship enterprises to cultivate and retain high-quality talents. It can also help the group about to carry out employment internship fully understand the society, body and their own abilities, and reduce unnecessary anxiety.AcknowledgementsThis project is supported by the 13th Five-Year Education and scientific Research Planning project of Chinese Education Society (Grant No. JYXH102373).
