As long as AL is an effective method and method for nurturing the power required in the future society and living powerfully in it, and as one of the highlights of the next course of study, everyone cannot be indifferent. must.
Under these circumstances, it is important for students now to think seriously about what they want to be in the future and how they want to contribute to society.
I specialize in developmental psychology, especially youth psychology, and while studying school-to-work, social connections, and transitions, what does knowledge mean to know? I have been thinking about how it will affect career development.
There, I met AL and became involved in helping to create a theoretical framework and put it into practice. According to the survey of university students I have conducted so far, the higher the career consciousness (awareness of the future), the more AL becomes. The results show that they are also actively engaged in traditional lectures and home study.For high school students, it is necessary to wait for the results of a new survey * 2013 that tracks the 10 years from high school 3 to university and working people, which started in XNUMX, but so far, it is the same as that for university students. The result of is obtained.It is thought that the core of the qualities of college students will be created in high school, so it is extremely important to raise career awareness in high school.
If you enter a good university, the era of life security is already a thing of the past.By the time you graduate from university, you will not be able to live vigorously in the future society unless you acquire information and knowledge literacy, respect for diversity, teamwork and communication skills to collaborate with others.The reform of university entrance examinations, which is currently being discussed, is trying to measure not only basic knowledge but also thinking ability and judgment ability, and it is also promoting education to firmly acquire the three elements of academic ability * 4 in high school education. That's why.
