Abstract

Objective: A considerable amount of research identified socio-economic status and cognitive ability as robust predictors, the influence of student's ability to delay gratification (ADG) on their educational transition choice doesn't received researcher's attention. To address this gap, the present study examined the incremental power of students ADG in predicting the dichotomous choice i.e. the choice of general or vocational education after successful completion of compulsory schooling.

Methods: Amid Covid-19 pandemic, cross sectional survey via an online mode was found feasible for the data collection process in our study. An online link of survey questionnaire was created in the Google forms and administered to (N = 1024) grade 8 students in the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir, India. Multiple binary logistic regressions were conducted to predict the students' choice, and odds ratios and average marginal effects were reported for better interpretation of results.

Results: Our results showed that students tracking choice differed significantly with respect to their gender and locale (smaller effect), ADG (medium effect), and cognitive ability and socio-economic status (larger effect). The probability of choosing the track of vocational education (with general education track as a baseline category) increases as students ADG decreases, and vice versa. This association of student's ADG with the choice of vocational education track held same over and above the covariates-socio-economic status, cognitive ability, gender and locale.

学生延迟满足的能力对其升学选择的影响。
研究目的大量研究发现,社会经济地位和认知能力是强有力的预测因素,但学生的延迟满足能力(ADG)对其升学选择的影响却没有得到研究人员的关注。为了填补这一空白,本研究考察了学生延迟满足能力(ADG)在预测二分法选择(即在顺利完成义务教育后选择普通教育还是职业教育)方面的增量:在 Covid-19 大流行的情况下,通过在线模式进行横断面调查被认为是我们研究中数据收集过程的可行方法。我们在谷歌表格中创建了调查问卷的在线链接,并对印度查谟和克什米尔联邦直辖区的八年级学生(N = 1024)进行了问卷调查。为了更好地解释结果,我们进行了多重二元逻辑回归来预测学生的选择,并报告了几率比和平均边际效应:结果:我们的研究结果表明,学生的选择与性别和地区(较小影响)、ADG(中等影响)、认知能力和社会经济地位(较大影响)有显著差异。学生选择职业教育方向(以普通教育方向为基线类别)的概率随着 ADG 的降低而增加,反之亦然。除了社会经济地位、认知能力、性别和地区这些协变量之外,学生的 ADG 与选择职业教育方向之间的关系也是如此:在线版本包含补充材料,可查阅 10.1186/s40461-022-00134-6。

期刊介绍: The main focus of this journal is to provide a platform for original empirical investigations in the field of professional, vocational and technical education, comparing the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of different vocational education systems at the school, company and systemic level. The journal fills a gap in the existing literature focusing on empirically-oriented academic research and stimulating the interest in strengthening the vocational part of the educational system, both at the basic and higher education level.
