PROPOSED TITLE STUDENTS PROBLEM TOWARDS CHOOSING ICT AS THEIR STRAND IN ST. FRANCIS
TECHNICAL INSTITUTE
STRAND ICT
BRIEF EXPLANATION THIS RESEARCH WILL HELP STUDENTS WHO FIND THEIR STRAND HARD, AND UNHAPPY.
THEY FIND THAT THE MOST INFLUENTIAL FACTOR FOR STUDENTS' CAREER CHOICES
ARE OUTCOME EXPECTANCIES, INDIVIDUAL VARIANTS SUCH AS GENDER, PERSONAL
INTERESTS, LEARNING EXPERIENCES, ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AND PERSONAL
CONTACTS. GENDER AND THE ENVIRONMENT ARE AMONG THE LEAST INFLUENTIAL ONES.
THE STUDENTS ALSO REPORTED SOME CHALLENGES THAT THEY FACED DURING THEIR
ONLINE CLASSES. THESE INCLUDE ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, POOR INTERNET SERVICE, AND
UNFAVORABLE HOME LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, WHICH WERE AGGRAVATED WHEN
STUDENTS ARE MARGINALIZED AND FROM REMOTE AREAS. THE REVIEW OF THE
LITERATURE SHOWED THAT THREE AREAS OF A STUDENT'S LIFE AFFECT THE CAREER
CHOICES THEY MAKE: ENVIRONMENT, OPPORTUNITY, AND PERSONALITY. ALL THREE
PLAYED VARYING ROLES IN CAREER OUTCOMES. CAREER CHOICE IS AFFECTED BY
MULTIPLE FACTORS INCLUDE PERSONALITY, INTEREST, SELF CONCEPT, IDENTITY,
GLOBALIZATION, SOCIALIZATION, ROLE MODEL, SOCIAL SUPPORT AND AVAILABLE
RESOURCES SUCH AS INFORMATION AND FINANCE (KERKA 2000). THEY BELIEVE THAT THE
USE OF ICT SUPPORTS THEIR LEARNING. SLOW SPEED OF COMPUTERS, SIGNAL PROBLEM
IN INTERNET, VIRUS THREAT, POOR WORKING CONDITION OF COMPUTERS, LOAD
SHEDDING, AND LACK OF ACCESS OF INTERNET ARE THE PROBLEMS FACED BY THE
MAJORITY OF THE STUDENTS. OVERALL, THE KEY ISSUES AND CHALLENGES FOUND TO BE
SIGNIFICANT IN USING ICT TOOLS BY TEACHERS WERE: LIMITED ACCESSIBILITY AND
NETWORK CONNECTION, LIMITED TECHNICAL SUPPORT, LACK OF EFFECTIVE TRAINING,
LIMITED TIME AND LACK OF TEACHERS' COMPETENCY.
