Abstract

Career decision making remains the key aspect for the senior secondary school students since years. Career decision making is influenced by many factors. Proper career guidance and counseling programs enables students to make more informed and better decisions in respect with their career decisions. Today everyone is aware of the role played by good education in shaping individual's career. Information and communication technologies are converting career information and guidance services, just as they are renovating service delivery in other sectors (e.g. banking and health services).Technology and education is advancing itself at a very high pace. The technology invented today becomes old tomorrow. Our educational institutes like universities and colleges have a responsibility to prepare learners to take advantage of the latest tools and techniques to help them tackle complex problems. In this research paper we will explore the role played by different parameters like geographical location, stream, gender, and education in career decision making of senior secondary students. The first challenge is on the part of teachers. It is prime responsibility of the teachers to integrate new technologies into their classrooms, but due to lack of adequate and ongoing professional development they themselves are unprepared or unable to understand new technologies. Secondly it is found that teachers have a mindset that technological experiment is outside the scope of their job descriptions. Their teaching is restricted to the defined syllabus and not beyond it. Rigid lecture-and-test models of learning are failing to challenge students to experiment and engage in informal learning. Opportunities for such informal learning can be found in non-traditional classroom models, such as flipped classrooms, which allow for a blending of formal and informal learning. There are teachers that are looking for the need of personalized learning, but they aren't given the tools they need to accomplish it, or adequate tools simply don't exist.
