“…Vocational psychologists have made valuable contributions in designing educational and vocational interventions that target youth and young adults of color (e.g., Ali, Brown, & Loh, 2017; Fouad, 1995; Kenny, Bower, Perry, Blustein, & Amtzis, 2004; McWhirter, Rasheed, & Crothers, 2000; K. M. O’Brien, Dukstein, Jackson, Tomlinson, & Kamatuka, 1999; Turner & Conkel, 2010).…”

Vocational psychology scholarship has largely overlooked the work experiences of people of color. In this article, we present evidence that vocational research that addresses the work issues of people of color has been neglected in the key outlets for vocational research among vocational psychologists. We outline seven directions for research inquiry with people of color, namely using culturally sensitive research methods, increasing research on the effectiveness of career interventions, integrating interdisciplinary perspectives, merging psychological and educational science with vocational development, using intersectional approaches, examining collective mobility strategies and structural reforms, and assessing the impact of environmental disasters on long-term educational and work outcomes.

“…Further, there have been no attempts to examine whether SCCT-based interventions that attend to SPD are more effective than standard SCCT-based interventions in promoting the career development of rural youth. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to test quasi-experimentally whether adding a SPD component to an SCCT-based career intervention program, Project health-care opportunities, preparation, and exploration (HOPE; Ali, 2013; Ali, Brown, & Loh, 2017), was more effective than an SCCT-only intervention in enhancing rural students’ career development process.…”

This quasi-experimental investigation tested whether adding a sociopolitical development (SPD) component to a social cognitive career theory–based (SCCT) career intervention program, Project health-care opportunities, preparation, and exploration (HOPE), was more effective than an SCCT-only intervention among a group of eighth-grade students ( n = 94). Results of the study indicated both intervention conditions were associated with increases in health-care career (HC) and math/science (MS) interests among the participants. Results also demonstrated that gains in HC interests (HCIs) were associated with intervention conditions: students in the SCCT + SPD condition only reported statistically significant gains in HCIs. The study found no statistically significant interaction effects between ethnicity and condition on any of the outcome variables. Results suggest limited support for the effectiveness of SPD-infused SCCT interventions and that more research is needed to better understand how rural students can benefit from SCCT/SPD-based career interventions.

“…We chose to work with middle school-aged girls, and it is at this age that people begin to explore the possibility of future identities (Ji, Lapan & Tate, 2004). And, it is through exposure to an area of study, and opportunities for accomplishments within that area that support a feeling of self-efficacy and further interest in the field (Ali, Brown, & Loh, 2017). Therefore, in conducting research with middle school-aged girls, we aim to create knowledge that will support the development of successful educational interventions for girls that will improve girls interest and participation in computer science.…”

Roles, Collaboration, and the Development of Computational Thinking in a Robotics Learning Environment

Robotics is a robust vehicle for supporting the development of computational thinking in students. Educational robotics activities unfold in a multidimensional problem space that requires the integration of programming, building, and environmental aspects of the activity. Students working collaboratively with robotics have the opportunity to adopt roles within the group that are aligned to these multiple dimensions (e.g., programmer, builder, and analyst). Group roles are an important element of all collaborative learning, but especially in a Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) environment, as the roles help to regulate group activity and learning. In this observational, microgenetic case study, we investigated the relationship of the roles middle school-aged girls adopted to the collaborative interactions they engaged in, and, ultimately to the development of computational thinking evidenced as a result of role participation. The video and audiotaped data used in this study were collected at a 1-day introduction to robotics workshop for girls. Our mixed methods approach included sequential and qualitative analysis of the behavioral and verbal interactions of two groups of girls (n 6) who participated in the workshop. Our results indicate that the emergence of distinct roles correlates with periods of collaboration and periods of parallel solo work, which, in turn, had an impact on student's engagement in computational thinking including solution planning, algorithmic and debugging operations, and the design of the robotic device. Moreover, students who engaged in greater levels of collaboration selected more difficult challenges to solve within the robotics environment. Suggestions for future research are provided.
