Preservice childcare teachers' career motivations, college adjustment, and teaching efficacy

We investigated the effect of college adjustment and motivation for choosing a teaching career as factors that influence preservice childcare teachers' teaching efficacy. Participants were 200 preservice childcare teachers enrolled at colleges in South Korea. The results demonstrated that college adjustment had a significant mediating effect in the relationship between the active career motivation of preservice childcare teachers and their teaching efficacy. Specifically, active career motivation was positively correlated with teaching efficacy via the process of college life adjustment. It can be inferred that the choice of college major based on an active personal preference, compared to passive motivation, leads to better college life adjustment, which, in turn, correlates with higher efficacy in one's career path. This suggests the need to support students' academic and socioemotional adjustment at college as well as enhancing their course satisfaction.

Assessing College Life Adjustment of Students With Disabilities: Application of the PERMA Framework

The clearest career path to the middle class generally involves access, and completion, of postsecondary education. However, persons with disabilities are less likely to enroll or graduate from college compared with their same-age peers without disabilities. The quality of life of students with disabilities, and their well-being, may be a root cause of low graduation rates. To flourish in life is to both feel good and function effectively. Seligman developed the Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment (PERMA) model that may be useful in understanding the well-being of individuals. The purpose of this study is to examine the factorial structure of the PERMA model in sample college students with disabilities and then examine the model’s relationship with outcomes important to college adjustment such as academic achievement, relationship problems, stress, life satisfaction, and core self-evaluation. Ninety-seven college students with disabilities enrolled in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) were recruited for the study. Findings support a one-factor solution for the PERMA measurement model. Furthermore, PERMA was negatively correlated with factors associated with college difficulty and positively associated with factors linked to college success. The PERMA model also demonstrated that well-being mediates the relationship between functional disability and life satisfaction. Implications for rehabilitation researchers and practitioners are reviewed.

The Relationship between Students’ Perceptions of Parenting Styles and their University Life Adjustment

The current study examines the association between university students’ perceptions of parenting styles and their university life adjustment. Data were collected from Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) in Oman. The sample consisted of 2562 undergraduate students (59% were females) from different colleges and study years. The participants responded to two questionnaires. The first questionnaire examined students’ perceptions of three parenting styles: authoritative (7 items), authoritarian (7 items), and permissive (6 items). The university life adjustment was examined by a questionnaire that focused on psychological (10 items) and non-psychological (5 items) problems that students face during university years. Both measures were found to be stable and reliable. The findings showed that college students reported high levels of authoritative and authoritarian parenting styles, low levels of permissive style, and low psychological and non-psychological problems. Additionally, results of two separate re- gression analyses indicated that students’ psychological problems were predicted positively by authori- tarian mother and negatively by authoritative mother and authoritative father; the non-psychological problems were predicted negatively by authoritative father and positively by authoritarian mother and permissive father. Findings were discussed within Omani cultural context.

Relationships between Self-Efficacy, Stress, Depression and Adjustment of College Students

This study examined the relationship between student adjustment to college and academic self-efficacy, perceived college stress, depression among college students. Data were collected 1,134 college students in a city of Korea. All scales used in this study statistically were reliable. The summarized results were as follows. High self-efficacy was related to better college life adjustment; adjustment had a strong positive correlation with academic self-efficacy (r = .586, p = .000). Perceived college stress (r = –.324, p = .000) and depression (r = –.267, p = .000) had negative correlations with college life adjustment. The largest positive impact factor on college life adjustment was self-efficacy (β = 0.531, p = .000), with the R squared of the model being 36.2 (F = 215.351, p = .000). Through this study, self-efficacy was found as having the most positive effect on college life adjustment in similar with previous studies. Moreover, this effect was regardless of the school grade. Students with high levels of academic self-efficacy had less stress and were better adjusted to college life. For further research, studies to verify the mediating effects of academic self-efficacy and to develop programs that would promote self-efficacy are suggested in order to improve college life adjustment.
