초록
This study examined the significance of advanced and enriching precollegiate education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields beyond the regular STEM-related courses on high school students’ career intentions, particularly through the lens of educational dose. A total of 241 students participated in the study. Findings of hierarchical regression analyses indicated that the number of regular math classes in school significantly correlated to career intentions in math and science fields; similarly, the number of regular science classes in school was significantly related to career intentions in the technology field. Also, advanced and enriching precollegiate education in computer/technology was found to have a significant relationship with career intention in the field of engineering. Implications and suggestions for educators and school counseling programs are provided.
