The career development field is continually growing and changing to reflect the current career realities of individuals, changes in society, and in the world of work. The main aim of this chapter is to explore the relationship between modern and indigenous career counselling. The relatively under-researched indigenous career counselling approach can be blended with modern career counselling to help students handle their challenges specifically related to career choice. This strategy provides an interpretive tool trying to create a third space or bridging areas between the indigenous and modern career counselling approaches within the Tanzanian context. The study revealed that some school counsellors employ both indigenous and modern counselling to address career challenges among the secondary school students. The blending of indigenous and modern career counselling creates a balanced guidance and counselling service which relates students to the careers that are relevant to their context which promotes the development of community-based careers.

The article discusses approaches to a holistic analysis of poetic texts of the 21st century at Literature Olympiads. The main aim of this academic activity of senior schoolchildren is to teach them to demonstrate their own understanding of a poem through considering it as an integral unity of elements and analyzing the most essential features of its artistic structure. The author answers the following questions: what knowledge, skills, competences are tested by assignments on contemporary poetry? What poetics features of modern literature require special attention and how to teach senior schoolchildren to carry out analysis correctly? How can “Olympiad” poetry be of interest to a modern secondary schooler? On the material of the poems by Polina Barskova, Alexei Tsvetkov and Vladimir Gandelsman the article shows possible ways of text analysis that have formed in practical work – primarily in the Sirius educational center (Sochi). The author uses P. Barskova’s poem “Happiness” (2001), included in the tasks of the final stage of the 2019 Literature Olympiad, to show the methods of work with subtext / intertext and subject structure. The relationship between the object-based and symbolic plans, of the empirically “true-to-life” plot and the biblical subtext are in the focus of attention during the analysis of A. Tsvetkov’s poem “The experience of the end of the world” (2019). V. Gandelsman’s poem “In the morning, right after dawn, I am at the foot…” (2018) was offered to students at a trial competition in “Sirius”. The article contains excerpts from the works of secondary school students, showing how they interpreted the poem.

The Impact

Youths’ interest in Agriculture is daily declining due to lack of awareness and information about the prospects in agriculture, leaving the nation’s agricultural sector in the hands of the ageing population. This study examined the impact of agricultural career information on the knowledge, perception and attitudes of secondary school students towards taking agriculture, as a career choice. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 136 school science students in senior secondary schools and structured questionnaire was used to elicit information on their knowledge, perception and attitudes with respect to career in agriculture. Data was collected for pre-test (baseline) and post-test (end-line) after the respondents had participated in an intervention tagged “Agricultural Career Information Program” and analyzed using descriptive and inferential (using t-test at p ≤ 0.05) statistics. Result showed that the students had a significant change in attitude towards choosing agriculture as a career choice after being exposed to the intervention program, but no significant change in the students’ knowledge and perception after being exposed to the program. Agricultural career counselling should be intentional in the education of the youths, in order to influence their attitude and eventual choice of a career in agriculture. The study recommends that career guidance be included in the curriculum of primary and secondary school students, with a focus on agricultural sector. Information sessions on the agricultural sector can also be organized to improve students’ knowledge, attitude and perception in order to direct their choice towards agriculture.

The Relationship

Cognitive dissonance is a theory originally developed by Leon Festinger. He is proposing that dissonance, which is the existence of non fitting relations among cognition, is a motivating factor in its own right. This motivating factor encourages the learner to be more self confident in his actions or conclusions and distinguish between correct and incorrect solutions. This motivation will lead to reach the correct decision about a particular problem. The study aims to find out the relationship between cognitive dissonance and achievement in Mathematics among higher secondary school students. Cognitive dissonance was measured by using Cognitive Dissonance Scale developed by the investigator. The sample consists of 100 higher secondary school students from Malappuram districts. The study reveals that cognitive dissonance and achievement in mathematics is significantly related.
