ISSN 2300-0422. DOI 10.14746/kse.2018.14.14. The study identified physical education students’ opinions about and vision of personal career. It was conducted with a questionnaire designed by A. Cybal-Michalska for planning career prospects and career development in modern society by academic youth. Results demonstrate the professional expectations of the sample to be largely met. Students of the University School of Physical Education in Wroclaw are oriented towards individualistic and collectivistic values to a similar extent. Both groups are moderately satisfied with study choices and have a realistic outlook on the difficulties in finding a job consistent withtheir education. They assess the prospect of a satisfactory career on an equally moderate level, although individualist-oriented students perceive significantly fewer ways of achieving professional success. Collectivistic students emphasize values characteristic of a safe future and working with people and for people. Individualistic students are geared towards innovative and creative activities. Students perceive their careers in the psychological dimension, and select lifestyle and professionalism as the lead guides in career development.

This chapter reports on a study of leadership development and succession planning at The University of the West Indies Libraries. The research shows that in the absence of formal succession planning, leadership training takes place in tandem with the staff appraisal and career development process. The annual appraisal and assessment system provides the opportunity for staff who aspire to leadership positions to be guided in their career development and thus be better prepared when vacancies arise. The benefits provided to academic, senior administrative and professional staff—for example, funding for travel and professional activities, special leave for scholarly pursuits and other career development opportunities—are utilised by librarians to advance their careers. The chapter highlights the importance of strict adherence by library administration to the annual appraisal and assessment processes and staff use of organisational support for career development as integral components in leadership development and succession planning and implementation.

Vroom's Expectancy Theory

Abstract Background Several studies have warned about the diminishing physician-scientist breed. Limited studies, however, have attempted to assess what factors (if any) enhanced or hindered the experience of trainee physician-scientists and their supervisors. Using Vroom’s expectancy theory as a conceptual framework, we explored the highlights, motivations and barriers of an intercalated MBChB/PhD programme as experienced by students of the programme and their supervisors. Methods Previous and current students of the MBChB/PhD programme at the University of Otago, and their supervisors, were invited to provide comments on the programme. Data were analysed using a general inductive approach which involved coding responses, and grouping codes into common themes via an iterative process. A deductive approach was used to interpret the themes and relate them to Vroom’s expectancy theory. Results A total of 22 students (88% response rate) and 36 supervisors (58.3% response rate) responded to our survey. Three themes were identified through the analysis of the students’ responses. These were: motives for undertaking the intercalated degree, effect on career development, and perceived barriers. Supervisors’ survey yielded two themes: characteristics of successful students, and optimising the intercalated programme. Conclusions The current study sheds light on the successes and challenges of an intercalated MBChB/PhD programme by considering the views of those most involved. Whereas the combined programme has its advantages for student research and career development, extending the research-time may be worthwhile. Further studies involving a larger cohort of intercalating students and their supervisors may allow for extrapolation of data to address these concerns.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to overview the Backpack‐to‐Briefcase project which established a set of prototype career development learning strategies for Australian university career services, with the aim of contributing to their services for supporting students and graduates to make a smoother transition into graduate employment and the world‐of‐work.Design/methodology/approachA case study analysis of the development and implementation of three career development learning interventions is described. These interventions include: employability skills workshops for students; career mentoring for students; and services to small and medium sized employers to support their recruitment and induction of new graduates into their worksites.FindingsThe prototype interventions developed in the project extended the work of the university's Career Service. The interventions were judged as having the capacity to be readily implemented by university career services. A key outcome was the success of the graduate‐induction initiative which engaged small and medium sized employers traditionally unfamiliar with or unable to enter the graduate recruitment market.Originality/valueThis case study highlights the value of university career services' contributions to undergraduate preparation for the world‐of‐work, particularly in regional areas. Furthermore, the case study highlights the importance of inter‐departmental cooperation within the university environment, and the value of university‐industry collaboration toward the goal of improving graduates' transitions into the workforce, particularly in rural and regional areas.

This case study explores how a students-as-partners approach is helping students in the Graphic Communication programme at the University of Reading gain experience of community through a curriculum design project. The “I am, we are … different by design” project began as a partnership initiative aimed at identifying strategies to extend students’ experience of diversity in the curriculum. Drawing on a mid-project evaluation, the case study presented here explores student partners’ perceptions of achievements and challenges, including developing a sense of community and the impact on career development. It also highlights how supporting opportunities for visibility and recognition throughout a project may contribute to sustaining a culture of reciprocity in partnership.

Resumen: En los últimos años se han multiplicado los programas orientados a la formación de emprendedores y el fomento de la cultura e iniciativa emprendedora, aunque la evaluación de estos servicios y programas no ha recibido la misma atención. En este trabajo se presentan los primeros resultados de un estudio exploratorio sobre las barreras que dificultan el emprendimiento y cómo abordarlos desde la orientación para la carrera. En concreto se estudia el programa de emprendimiento universitario llevado a cabo en el Centro de Orientación y Empleo (COIE) de la Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED). Los resultados obtenidos identifican los inhibidores para emprender y los motivos que tienen los emprendedores universitarios noveles para el abandono de sus proyectos de emprendimiento. Asimismo, se presentan los aspectos personales de mejora identificados por los promotores de proyectos para continuar con sus iniciativas, y algunas propuestas para la mejora de los servicios de orientación a emprendedores que sus usuarios manifiestan.Abstract: In recent years, programmes aimed at training entrepreneurs and promoting culture and entrepreneurial initiative have multiplied, although the evaluation of these services and programmes has not received the same attention. This paper presents the first results of an exploratory study on the barriers that hinder entrepreneurship and how to approach them from career guidance. Specifically, the university entrepreneurship programme carried out at the Counselling and Employment Center (COIE) of The National Distance Education University (UNED) is studied. The results obtained identify the inhibitors to entrepreneurship and the reasons that beginner’s university entrepreneurs have for revoking their entrepreneurship projects. Likewise, the personal aspects of improvement identified by the project promoters are presented to continue with their initiatives, and some proposals for the improvement of the guidance services for entrepreneurs that their users manifest.

The paper sheds light on the university preparation of future English teachers in Slovakia. Since the requirements for becoming an English teacher differ around the world, the first part of the paper describes and explains the requirements and career development of English teachers in Slovakia. Twelve Slovak faculties provide university preparation of future English teachers, and this research analyses their curricular offer. The courses offered to future English teachers are firstly categorized into linguistic, intercultural, methodological, and literary groups. As teaching practice becomes an essential part of the teacher preparation, the hours devoted to the teaching practice were counted at each institution. The tables and graphs show the sums of the courses and allocated hours. Thus, this paper brings an overview, comparison, and differences in the university preparation of future English teachers in Slovakia. Even though this survey shows only a quantitative point, this research results can be considered as one of the quality indicators in the university preparation of future English teachers in Slovakia

The University of New Mexico (UNM) embarked on a project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to engage in activities that are believed to support retention and graduation of STEM students (specifically engineering and computer science students). The project focused on the following activities: internships, faculty-mentoring and other career development activities such as conferences, interacting with industry, financial aid info, resume building workshops, interview skills workshops. The project focused on early career students (mostly sophomores and some freshmen). The methods of this research involved data collection and analysis, surveys, bivariate descriptive statistics with statistical significance, and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The authors have found evidence supporting that such activities have played a positive role in student’s continued retention, eventual graduation and overall self-confidence in their engineering/computing persona going forward. Other higher education institutions are encouraged to pursue similar activities.
