Predhodne raziskave kažejo, da imajo starši pomembno vlogo pri kariernem odločanju osnovnošolskih otrok o nadaljevanju šolanja, poudarjajo pa tudi pomen skladnosti zaznav med mladostniki in njihovimi starši ter pomen kakovosti oz. varnosti navezanosti. V okviru magistrske naloge sem želela na vzorcu devetošolcev v slovenskih osnovnih šolah preveriti, kakšen je odnos med stilom navezanosti, skladnostjo zaznav glede vključevanja staršev v njihovo karierno odločanje in posameznimi kategorijami težav, ki jih imajo pri kariernem odločanju. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 170 devetošolcev in 113 parov starš-učenec. Pri udeležencih smo pridobili podatke o izraženosti težav pri kariernem odločanju, kakovosti oz. varnosti navezanosti na starša ali skrbnika ter stopnjo neskladnosti zaznav med staršem in mladostnikom o vključevanju staršev v proces kariernega odločanja. Rezultati so pokazali, da se večja kakovost navezanosti negativno povezuje z notranjimi in zunanjimi konflikti ter s pomanjkanjem informacij pri kariernem odločanju. Večji indeks neskladnosti zaznav o vključevanju starša v karierno odločanje otroka se je pozitivno povezoval z zunanjimi konflikti in z manjšo kakovostjo navezanosti med staršem in otrokom. Pomembne razlike med varno in ne-varno navezanimi učenci so se pokazale pri zunanjih konfliktih, notranjih konfliktih, pomanjkanju informacij in indeksu neskladnosti. Kakovost oz. varnost navezanosti na starša ter neskladnost zaznav o vključevanju starša v karierno odločanje sta torej pomembna dejavnika pri izraženosti težav pri kariernem odločanju. Rezultati so lahko v pomoč svetovalnim delavcem v OŠ pri načrtovanju intervencij v okviru karierne orientacije, ki predstavlja pomembno področje dela svetovalne službe. Previous research indicates that parents have an important role in their lower secondary school kids’ career decision making process about choosing the most appropriate upper secondary school. They also emphasize the role of incoherence in perceptions between adolescents and their parents and the role of quality of attachment. In my master’s thesis I wanted to research the relationship between attachment style, degree of incoherence of perceptions between adolescents and parents regarding the participation of parents in their children's career decision-making processes and the career decision-making difficulties. My sample included 170 ninth-grade students from lower secondary schools and 113 parent-student pairs. I collected the data about the career decision-making difficulties, quality/security of attachment between the student and their parent and the degree of incoherence of perceptions between adolescents and parents regarding the participation of parents in their children's career decision-making processes. The results indicated that the higher security of attachment correlated negatively with higher internal and external conflict and lack of information. Additionally, higher degree of incoherence correlated positively with external conflicts and lower security attachment. Important differences between the securely and insecurely attached students were found in inner and external conflicts, lack of information and the degree of incoherence. The quality or security of attachment and incoherence of perceptions between adolescents and parents regarding the participation of parents in their children's career decision-making processes proved to be important factor in career decision-making difficulties. School counselors may find these implications helpful for planning and constructing the interventions for career orientation, which is an important aspect of their work.

Pomanjkanje medicinskih sester postaja globalni problem, zato je potrebno razumeti dejavnike, ki vplivajo na posameznika, da se odloči za ta poklic. Razloge zakaj se nekdo odloči za določen poklic so začeli teoretiki podrobneje raziskovati šele ob koncu 18. stoletja. V diplomskem delu smo se osredotočili na raziskovanje dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na izbiro študija zdravstvene nege.Pri izdelavi teoretičnega dela diplomskega dela smo uporabili deskriptivno metodo dela. V okviru empiričnega dela smo uporabili kvantitativno metodologijo raziskovanja. Izvedli smo raziskavo, s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika sestavljenega iz 11 vprašanj, na eni izmed fakultet za zdravstvene vede v Sloveniji. Sodelovalo je 90 študentov. Raziskavo smo izvedli meseca avgusta 2017. S pomočjo računalniškega programa Microsoft Office Word 2013 in Microsoft Office Excel 2013 smo rezultate ankete obdelali in prikazali.Na podlagi analize pridobljenih podatkov smo ugotovili, da so notranji dejavniki, kot so možnost pomagati drugim in delo z ljudmi najpomembneje ocenjeni dejavniki vpliva na odločitev za izbiro študija zdravstvene nege. Po oceni pomembnosti jim nato sledijo zunanji dejavniki z možnostjo razvoja kariere, nato zaposlitvena stabilnost in z njo možnost zaposlitve v tujini. Dejavniki, ki so jih anketiranci označili kot najmanj vplivne so vpliv drugih na odločitev izbire študija. Lack of nurses is becoming global problem, so it is necessary to understand factors that influence an individual to decide for this profession. Reasons why someone decides for a particular profession were began to explore by theorists only at the end of 18th century. In the dissertation, we focused on exploring the influence of factors on the decision to study nursing.We used descriptive method of work for making of theoretical part of a dissertation. In the framework of the empirical part, we used a quantitative research methodology. We carried out research, with the help of questionnaire consisting of 11 questions at one of the faculties of health sciences in Slovenia. 90 students participated. The survey was conducted in August 2017. The results of the survey were processed and displayed using the Microsoft Office Word 2013 and Microsoft Office Excel 2013 software. Based on the analysis of the acquired data, we have found that internal factors, such as the ability to help others and work with people, are the most important factors influencing the decision to choose nursing studies. According to the assessment of the importance, they are followed by external factors with the possibility of career development, then employment stability and with it the possibility of employment abroad. The factors that the respondents considered as the least influential are the influence of others on the choice of study choices.

Slovenski učenci so na preverjanjih znanja iz naravoslovja, kot sta PISA in TIMSS, nadpovprečno uspešni. Iz tega bi lahko sklepali, da se jim zdi naravoslovje zanimivo, kljub temu pa se vpis na naravoslovne študije zmanjšuje. Mednarodni primerjalni projekt ROSE zbira podatke o dejavnikih, ki vplivajo na učenčev odnos do naravoslovja, znanosti in tehnologije ter njihovo motivacijo za učenje. V naši raziskavi smo se usmerili samo na biologijo znotraj naravoslovja. Cilj magistrskega dela je bil ugotoviti, v kolikšni meri se zdijo osnovnošolcem in srednješolcem posamezne biološke teme zanimive, kako zahteven se jim zdi predmet biologija, kakšen je njihov odnos do znanosti in tehnologije ter kateri dejavniki so pomembni za učenčevo izbiro poklica. Sodelovalo je 307 učencev iz treh osnovnih šol in ene srednje šole, od tega 160 deklet in 147 fantov. Podatke smo zbrali z anketnim vprašalnikom, ki je vseboval 120 trditev, učenci pa so nanj odgovarjali tako, da so svoje strinjanje ocenili s 4- stopenjsko Likertovo lestvico. Ugotovili smo, da osnovnošolce in srednješolce zanima veliko bioloških tem, predvsem tistih, povezanih z njihovim življenjem, da imajo osnovnošolci in srednješolci na splošno pozitiven odnos do znanosti in tehnologije ter da se jim biologija ne zdi zahtevna. Ugotovili smo tudi, da so med anketiranci različne starosti razlike v zanimanju za biološke teme, odnosu do znanosti in tehnologije ter mnenju o zahtevnosti biologije. Pri vseh treh dejavnikih so največje zanimanje izrazili učenci 8. razreda. Dekleta zanima nekoliko več bioloških tem, fantje so bolj naklonjeni znanosti in tehnologiji, njihovo mnenje o zahtevnosti biologije pa je podobno. Na koncu smo ugotovili tudi to, da obstaja veliko korelacij med dejavniki, ki so pomembni za izbiro bodočega poklica ter zanimanjem za posamezne biološke teme, odnosom do znanosti in tehnologije ter mnenju o zahtevnosti biologije. Slovenian students have achieved above average success at assessments in natural science such as the PISA and the TIMSS. This could lead to the conclusion that they find natural science to be interesting, however, enrolment in natural science programs has been declining. The international comparative project ROSE collects data on factors which impact students’ attitude towards natural sciences, science, and technology, as well as their motivation for learning. In our study, we have primarily focused on these issues specifically in the field of biology. The aim of the thesis was determining to what degree students of primary and secondary schools find specific topics within biology to be interesting, how demanding they find Biology as a school subject, what their attitude is towards science and technology, and which factors are relevant in their choice of career. The survey involved a total of 307 students from three primary schools and one secondary school, of which 160 were girls and 147 were boys. The data was acquired via a questionnaire of 120 graded statements, for which the students expressed their agreement through a four-level Likert scale. We have found that students of primary and secondary schools are interested in many biological topics, particularly those associated with their daily lives, that their attitude towards science and technology is generally positive, and that they do not find Biology to be a difficult subject. We have also found that participants of different age groups display differences in their choice of interesting biological topics, their attitude towards science and technology, and their opinion on the difficulty of Biology at school. In all three fields, the greatest interest was expressed by 8th year students of primary schools. Girls expressed interest in more biological topics, while boys had a more positive attitude towards science and technology on the whole. The opinion on the difficulty of Biology as a school subject, however, showed minimal differences. Finally, we have established many correlations between factors which are relevant for career choice and the students’ interests in specific biological topics, their general attitude towards science and technology, and their opinion on the difficulty of Biology.

V prispevku so prikazani rezultati raziskave, v kateri je sodelovalo 128 študentov prvega in četrtega letnika univerzitetnega študijskega programa Razredni pouk Pedagoške fakultete v Mariboru. V raziskavi so nas zanimali razlogi študentov za izbiro učiteljskega poklica, zadovoljstvo študentov z izbiro študijske smeri in z delom na fakulteti. Med petimi skupinami razlogov študenti najvišje ocenjujejo altruistične in samouresničitvene razloge, najnižje pa ocenjujejo materialne in alternativne razloge. Ugotovili smo, da med študenti 1. in 4. letnika ni statistično značilnih razlik pri razlogih za izbiro učiteljskega poklica, da so študenti v glavnem zadovoljni z izbiro študijske smeri in da z leti študija upadajo zadovoljstvo in pričakovanja v zvezi s študijem. The article describes the results of research done about the reasons why students choose the teaching profession. 128 university students participated in the research. The students were comprised of freshmen and seniors enrolled in the Elementary Education program at the Faculty of Education. In the research we were interested in the reasons why students choose teaching as a profession, the degree of satisfaction with their choice and the working conditions at the faculty. Of the five groups we researched, most students chose the teaching profession for altruistic and self-realization reasons. Very few of the students chose the profession because of materialistic and alternative reasons. There were no statistically significant differences found among freshmen and senior students regarding their reasons for choosing the teaching profession. The study also shows that the students are mainly satisfied with their choice of study and that their satisfaction and expectations regarding their study program decrease with years of study

Aim: To gain insight into the trend of career choice for family medicine in Croatia in recent years. Methods: Six surveys were performed in the academic years 2006/07-2011/12 at the University of Zagreb, School of Medicine. Altogether, 1140 6th year students participated. They anonymously completed a questionnaire containing questions on desired future specialisation as well as other selected characteristics (e.g. gender, desired area and place of work, motivation to study medicine, etc.). Binary logistic regression was used to determine unadjusted and adjusted trends. Results: After adjustment for selected factors, the relationship between observed outcome and the year of observation showed an evident decreasing trend. The odds for intention to specialise in family medicine were in the academic year 2006/2007 1.43-times higher than in the year 2007/2008 (p=0.412), 1.85-times higher than in the year 2008/2009 (p=0.168), 2.38-times higher than in the year 2009/2010 (p=0.051), 2.63-times higher than in the year 2010/2011 (p=0.027) and 3.85-times higher than in the year 2011/2012 (p=0.003). Conclusions: The results of the present study offer evidence that Croatia is experiencing a constantly decreasing trend of career choice for family medicine in recent years. It is obvious that final year medical students are not very much interested in working as family practitioners. At the same time, demand for family practitioners in Croatia is increasing. Both academic and professional societies have a social responsibility to reorient the health care system and medical curricula towards comprehensive primary health care in which family medicine has a key role.
