Abstract

This literature review examines the use of social media in higher education career guidance delivery in the UAE (United Arab Emirates). Previous research has revealed UAE youth feel unprepared for work, highlighting a need to improve the quality of career guidance. With social media becoming popular, social media integrated with career guidance can expand opportunities for students. The current use of social media in career guidance, highlighted that the UAE is utilizing social media as an information source rather than an interactive workspace. UAE universities use online career planning systems mainly. One of the main reasons being that social media delivery in career guidance leads to pressure for career guidance practitioners, in terms of moderating content. Coupled with the strict privacy laws governing the use of social media in the UAE, this can present challenges. For social media to become successfully integrated into career guidance delivery, universities in the UAE need to understand what their students want in terms of career guidance delivery.
社交媒体在阿拉伯联合酋长国高等教育职业指导交付中的使用:文献综述
本文献综述考察了在阿联酋(阿拉伯联合酋长国)高等教育职业指导交付中使用社交媒体。此前的研究显示,阿联酋年轻人对工作缺乏准备,这凸显了提高职业指导质量的必要性。随着社交媒体的普及,与就业指导相结合的社交媒体可以为学生扩大机会。目前在职业指导中使用社交媒体,强调阿联酋正在利用社交媒体作为信息来源,而不是交互式工作空间。阿联酋的大学主要使用在线职业规划系统。其中一个主要原因是,职业指导中的社交媒体传播给职业指导从业者带来了内容调节方面的压力。再加上阿联酋对社交媒体使用的严格隐私法,这可能会带来挑战。为了成功地将社交媒体整合到职业指导中,阿联酋的大学需要了解学生在职业指导方面的需求。
