Abstract

During the previous decade, growth in the numbers of internationally mobile students included international high school students. Prior research on international students’ career development in higher education may not account for the unique context of younger international students in secondary schools. The current study investigated career influences for international secondary students, using the Systems Theory Framework (Patton & McMahon, 2021). International students in senior years completed written, open-ended surveys and in-person interviews regarding their career aspirations, plans and key influences on their decision-making. International student coordinators and school staff also offered their perspectives about these influences. Results indicate the inter-related systemic influences of individuals, significant relationships, location and country contexts, the secondary school environment, and perceived characteristics of occupations and future career pathways. Implications for supporting international high school students in the school setting and future research directions are discussed.

从近到远:国际中学生的职业影响

在过去十年中，国际流动学生人数的增长包括国际高中生。先前对国际学生在高等教育中的职业发展的研究可能无法解释年轻国际学生在中学的独特背景。目前的研究使用系统理论框架(Patton & McMahon, 2021)调查了国际中学生的职业影响。高年级的国际学生完成了关于他们的职业抱负、计划和对他们决策的关键影响的书面开放式调查和面对面访谈。国际学生协调员和学校工作人员也就这些影响发表了看法。结果表明，个体、重要关系、地理位置和国家背景、中学环境、职业感知特征和未来职业路径的相互关联的系统影响。最后讨论了学校环境对国际高中生支持的启示和未来的研究方向。
