Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate how one’s motive to choose a major of study, career values, and satisfaction with the major affect immersion within the major.
Methods: A self-administered questionnaire on choice of major and career values was completed by 224 students from March 2nd to March 15th of 2022. The collected data were analyzed using several metrics and tests with IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0 software: fre-quency and percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis, and linear regression.
Results: The average scores of the motive to choose a major, career values, satisfaction with the major, and immersion in the major were 3.15, 3.91, 3.56, and 3.45, respectively. There were significant correlations between all four variables (p<0.05). Career values and satisfaction with the major positively influenced a student’s immersion in that major; the explanatory power of the model was 77% (p<0.01).
Conclusion: The department should offer education on career values to further increase the immersion of dental technician students within their chosen major.
