직업계열 고등학교 교사의 교육데이터 활용 현황과 요구 분석

As technology that enables data collection, accumulation and analysis develops, the use of data is being emphasized as the key of evidence-based policies. The purpose of this paper is to identify the current status of data collection related to vocational high school, analyze the current situation and needs of data usage by vocational high school teachers and suggest implications for future educational data construction. The main results of this paper are as follows. First, most of the collected data included vocational high school students and graduates as part of all high school students, young people or candidates for qualification. In particular, it was verified that data surveys using vocational high schools as parent population and linking administrative statistics and were insufficient. Second, vocational high school teachers who participated in this paper answered their data using frequency as ‘more than once a year'(28.0%), ’more than once a quarter’(26.1%), and ‘not at all'(23.3%). Teachers were using data for ‘writing a project plan or result report', ‘providing career counseling for students' and ‘developing and organizing a curriculum'. Teachers hoped to ‘link and integrate vocational high school-related data’ and data such as ‘students' interests and career plans’, ‘graduates' major retention rate’ and ‘predicting the supply and demand of high school graduates/college graduates by region/major/industrial field’ to be offered in the future,. Third, it is necessary to include vocational high school teachers to consider the context of vocational high school when promoting the collection and release of educational data, the use of administrative and learning data and the establishment of big data.

Beyond the model minority myth: Student–counselor interactions and college enrollment of Asian American students

AbstractDue to the model minority myth, scant attention has been given to the college preparation of Asian American (AA) students. Using the national sample of High School Longitudinal Study of 2009–2013, this study examined associations among student–counselor interactions, school connectedness, and college enrollment of AA students. The results of the structural equation modeling indicated that school connectedness fully mediated the association between student–counselor interactions and college enrollment. The findings from the current study suggest that when AA students interact with school counselors in the 9th grade, they tend to feel more connected to their school, which, in turn, leads to increased college enrollment decisions in the 12th grade. Implications for helping professionals in schools are discussed.

Social Anxiety in Students with Specific Learning Disorders Based on Emotion Regulation and Emotional Intelligence: The Mediating Role of Perceived Self-Efficacy

Background: One of the basic challenges faced by children with specific learning disorders (SLD) is social-emotional problems. Objectives: Considering the importance of social anxiety in interacting with others and its negative consequences in the family, society, and academic life of students with specific learning disabilities, the present study aims to develop a causal model of social anxiety in these students based on emotion regulation and emotional intelligence, taking into account the mediating role of perceived self-efficacy. Methods: The research employed a descriptive approach and utilized path analysis. The statistical population of this research comprised all the students with SLD who were referred to the student counseling centers and LD centers affiliated with the education organization of Sanandaj city in the academic year 2022 - 2023. The research sample consisted of 360 students aged between 8 and 12 years old with SLD, selected from the statistical population through purposeful sampling. In this research, the self-report version of Leibovitz's Social Anxiety Scale for children and adolescents by Masia-Warner et al., Shields and Cicchetti's emotion regulation inventory, Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire by Mavroveli et al., and Muris' Children's Self-Efficacy Questionnaire were utilized. The fit indices of the model were also confirmed. Results: The variables of emotion regulation, perceived self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence directly affected the social anxiety of students with SLD. Additionally, the social anxiety of students with SLD was significantly related to the mediation of perceived self-efficacy with emotion regulation and emotional intelligence (P < 0.01). Conclusions: Therefore, to reduce the social anxiety of students with SLD, it is recommended that educators and experts develop educational programs to increase adaptive emotion regulation strategies, enhance perceived self-efficacy, and strengthen emotional intelligence.

Unemployed Biotechnology Graduates: Need of Modernization of Education and Training in Tunisia

Biotechnology is a priority higher education and economical sector for Tunisia. However, there is an ever-increasing unemployment rate of the biotechnology graduates in the country. Indeed, this huge problem warrants immediate attention and necessary actions from various stakeholders. This study presents the results of a benchmarking visit, which was arranged by Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK) in Finland, as part of 'BiotechTunisia' Erasmus+ project entitled ‘Modernization of Biotechnology training for better employability of graduates in Tunisia’. There are four Tunisian and three European partners in this project that leads to modernization of skills of teachers, researchers, and students to improve employment and opportunities for entrepreneurship of young graduates in Tunisia.

Tunisian delegates agree that the learnings could have a positive impact in their education system in coming years towards modernization of education and training of biotechnology students.

Host perspectives on international fieldwork placements for U.S.-based genetic counseling students.

Genetic counseling students from the United States are often interested in international summer fieldwork placements, but little is known about the hosts' perspectives when considering such requests. We sent out surveys to 132 international genetics providers (genetics clinics and genetics programs), to identify advantages, barriers and expectations for U.S.-based genetic counseling students seeking a fieldwork placement. Twenty-seven (20.4% response rate) participants from 14 different countries shared their experiences and views. Providers placed higher emphasis on teaching and benefits to students (95.2%) rather than intrinsic benefits to their programs (90.4%). Lack of American Board of Genetic Counseling's (ABGC) reciprocal recognition (30%) and cost of training (25%), were rated as the strongest barriers to hosting U.S.-based students. Surprisingly, 'Language Barrier' (20%), although mentioned in open-ended comments, was not ranked highly as a barrier. When asked about expectations of students, active participation in student-led counseling sessions under supervision was encouraged by a majority of participants (55.6%). Where most genetic counseling literature is U.S.-centric, this study reports on insights gathered from international genetics providers. Our study encourages U.S.-based programs to consider these findings when designing exchange programs and international fieldwork placements.

Effects of Implicit Racial Bias and Standardized Patient Race on Genetic Counseling Students’ Patient-Centered Communication

ABSTRACT Clinician racial bias has been associated with less patient-centered communication, but little is known about how it affects trainees’ communication. We investigated genetic counseling students’ communication during sessions with Black or White standardized patients (SPs) and the extent to which communication was associated with SP race or student scores on the Race Implicit Association Test (IAT). Sixty students conducted a baseline SP session and up to two follow-up sessions. Students were randomly assigned to a different White or Black SP and one of three clinical scenarios for each session. Fifty-six students completed the IAT. Session recordings were coded using the Roter Interaction Analysis System. Linear regression models assessed the effects of IAT score and SP race on a variety of patient-centered communication indicators. Random intercept models assessed the within-student effects of SP race on communication outcomes during the baseline session and in follow-up sessions (n = 138). Students were predominantly White (71%). Forty students (71%) had IAT scores indicating some degree of pro-White implicit preference. Baseline sessions with White relative to Black SPs had higher patient-centeredness scores. Within-participant analyses indicate that students used a higher proportion of back-channels (a facilitative behavior that cues interest and encouragement) and conducted longer sessions with White relative to Black SPs. Students’ stronger pro-White IAT scores were associated with using fewer other facilitative statements during sessions with White relative to Black SPs. Different patterns of communication associated with SP race and student IAT scores were found for students than those found in prior studies with experienced clinicians.

Development and verification of the Korean version of the genetic counseling self-efficacy scale.

A self-reported Genetic Counseling Self-Efficacy Scale (GCSES) was developed in English to measure genetic counselors' self-efficacy, a factor known to affect their job performance. This study verified the reliability and validity of the GCSES for use in Korea. The scale was translated and back-translated into Korean for cultural fit verification. Expert analysis was performed to ensure content validity. For construct validity, a confirmatory factor analysis of the six-factor structures of the GCSES and an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of the K-GCSES were conducted. To confirm the convergent validity and discriminant validity of the items, a multitrait/multi-item matrix analysis of the relationship between items and subscales was conducted. The reliability was evaluated by examining internal consistency and test-retest reliability. A total of 62 participants were recruited from certified genetic counselors associated with the Korean Society of Medical Genetics and Genomics and from four graduate schools offering genetic counseling programs. Confirmatory factor analysis showed an inadequate fit to the original GCSES structure. Through EFA, three-factor structures were identified: "counseling competence and psychosocial skills," "genetic testing," and "information gathering." Of the original 38 GCSES items, five were removed due to low factor loadings and small inter-item correlations. The item convergent validity and discriminant validity of the Korean version of the GCSES were established, and the correlation between the subfactors showed statistical significance (0.711-0.983). Cronbach's alpha was 0.985, and the intraclass correlation coefficient ranged from 0.882 to 0.897, securing reliability. The K-GCSES has a three-factor structure with acceptable reliability and sufficient validity. Differences in the factor structure between the K-GCSES and GCSES may be due to cultural factors. K-GCSES can be used as a tool to evaluate the competence of genetic counselors and genetic counseling students in Korea and to improve the quality of professionalism and education.

Searching for Social Justice

Counselor educators in CACREP programs are mandated to include social justice in their training of counseling students. However, counseling preparation programs have failed to adequately train counseling professionals to understand and implement social justice frameworks. Using an exploratory mixed methods design, we explored counselor educators’ educational and training background in social justice concepts as well as their teaching experiences infusing social justice throughout CACREP core curriculum. Strategies counselor educators use to seek knowledge about and incorporate social justice in their praxis are presented. Furthermore, we explored the relationship between counselor educators’ racial identity and their practice of implementing social justice frameworks into their teaching.

Analysis of financial barriers experienced by prospective genetic counseling students

PurposeHigh costs of applying to genetic counseling graduate programs (GCGPs) are likely a barrier to workforce diversification. We sought to determine application costs and assess differences between individuals of historically underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds in medicine (hURM) and non-hURM applicants. MethodsApplicants to GCGPs between 2005 to 2020 were surveyed about application history, related expenses, volunteer hours, and financial resources; 383 responses were analyzed. ResultsMedian total application costs (MTAC) were $2634, $4762, and $5607 (1, 2, and 3 or more application cycles, respectively). Interview-related items (which includes travel) had the highest median cost (1 application cycle: $879). Among those who applied to multiple cycles, hURM respondents had higher MTAC than those of non-hURM ($6713 versus $4762, P = .03) and lower median total volunteer hours (246 versus 381, P = .03). Parental education level differed by hURM status (P = .04). Median financial contribution from parents with and without advanced degrees varied significantly (60% versus 2%, P = .0009). ConclusionSignificant costs are incurred during the GCGP application process, but notable differences in costs and resources were observed between hURM and non-hURM applicants. Stakeholders within the profession should implement strategies to reduce financial barriers and the resulting inequities in the application process.

The role of counseling for non-traditional students in formal higher education: a scoping review

IntroductionSince the mid-20th century, the number of adult students enrolled in formal higher education (HE) programs has significantly increased. The profile of non-traditional students differs significantly from that of traditional students in terms of their characteristics, learning methods, obstacles and challenges, motivations for learning, and conditions for effective learning. Unlike traditional students, adult students often balance family, work, and educational responsibilities, necessitating a more nuanced approach to support and guidance. However, most HE institutions primarily serve the needs of traditional student populations, which results in limited support available to adult students. This scoping review aimed to explore and map the existing literature on the role of adult (or non-traditional) students counseling in the context of formal HE.MethodsWe focused on literature related to academic advising for non-traditional students in formal HE, restricting our search to both empirical and non-empirical articles published in peer-reviewed journals between 2010 and 2022. Employing Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review method and the PRISMA-ScR Checklist, we searched four databases (EBSCOhost, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, and ERIC), supplemented by a manual search.ResultsOf the 1,330 articles identified and screened, 25 studies met the eligibility criteria. Our review included 17 empirical and eight non-empirical studies, with the majority conducted in the USA (21 of 25). Thematic analysis revealed five key research areas (or themes): academic advising practices, perceptions of advising, technology, and advising, advising models, and academic success. The most common research theme, advising practices for adult (undergraduate and doctoral) students, constituted 52% of the studies (n= 13).DiscussionDrawing from our analysis, we discuss current trends and future development in advising non-traditional students within formal HE settings. The added value of academic advising for adult students is explored, and any potential gaps in research literature knowledge are identified.

Application of emotion recognition technology in psychological counseling for college students

Abstract In traditional psychological counseling, limitations of patients’ subjective feelings and expressive abilities, as well as the varying levels of professional skills and conversation skills of counselors, make it difficult to properly solve psychological problems. Emotional recognition technology can help psychological counselors better understand the inner world of patients, thereby providing more targeted psychological counseling services for college students. 2D convolutional neural network-long short-term memory (2DCNN-LSTM) and 1D convolutional neural network-long short-term memory network (1DCNN-LSTM) were used for emotion recognition. Wavelet packet coefficient sequences were utilized to analyze multimodal data; multi-core convolutional neural network models were applied for multimodal feature layer fusion, and LSTM recurrent neural networks were used to effectively identify valence and college student emotions. The experimental results showed that under multimodal recognition, the average recognition accuracy of 2DCNN-LSTM for fourth-year university students was 18.7% higher than that of 1DCNN-LSTM for fourth-year university students. Compared with 1DCNN-LSTM, 2DCNN-LSTM can achieve better recognition accuracy. The research results can help psychological counselors better understand the emotional state and needs of students and provide more personalized and targeted counseling services.
