Future Dreaming 2024 | Digital technology within school career guidance "An international perspective"

Editor's Notes

1. My mum’s idea of the future
2. Technology available now – powerful, linked to information, requires digital literacy for use and instruction (including digital natives for skills like recognising disinformation, filtering, analytical thinking), embedded throughout our lives... Developments in LLM have expanded opportunities, accelerated change
3. Roborevolution of guidance? Is this the future?
4. Effective: Is the right activity being given to the right child at the right time to allow them to convert their capital into good employment outcomes Efficient: Micro-level: how much money it costs? Make good use of the time of career counsellors​ Macro-level: students understanding of themselves and the opportunities in the labour market​ Equitable: Outcomes are the same and independent on the characteristics of the young people including their socioeconomic status, where they live (rural/urban), gender (girls/boys), ethnicity etc.
5. Career guidance is very important because it works.PISA shows that too few students have access to guidance initiatives, especially students in greatest needs and it is not always effective in enhancing career preparation (big equity issues) Students are already searching for information using digital tech -
6. Problems with internet access in remote learning. In PISA 2009, on average, around 18% of students in OECD countries and economies reported that they had access to the Internet at home. By 2018, that proportion had grown to more than 95%
