Abstract

This article presents a systematic review of studies emphasizing career orientation through STEM education for students at the primary to upper secondary levels. The review was conducted using the Scopus database, following the PRISMA methodology, with analytical support from VOSviewer and MaxQDA software. The analysis of 216 eligible studies indicates that this topic has received growing attention since 2007 and is currently experiencing significant development in the United States, Turkey, and Hong Kong. Furthermore, based on the criteria of citations ≥ 8 or co-citations ≥ 5, 25 studies were selected for in-depth analysis. Accordingly, the article synthesizes three major areas: (1) theoretical frameworks and factors influencing STEM career orientation; (2) the content, organizational forms, and assessment tools employed in STEM education activities; and (3) future directions for implementing STEM education.

Keywords: Career decision-making, career interest, expectancy-value, social cognitive career, vocational education

Tóm tắt

Bài viết cung cấp một tổng quan hệ thống các nghiên cứu liên quan đến việc chú trọng định hướng nghề nghiệp thông qua giáo dục STEM với đối tượng học sinh từ cấp Tiểu học đến Trung học phổ thông. Nghiên cứu được thực hiện trên cơ sở dữ liệu Scopus theo quy trình PRISMA, với sự hỗ trợ của phần mềm VOSviewer và MaxQDA. Phân tích 216 nghiên cứu phù hợp cho thấy chủ đề này bắt đầu được quan tâm từ năm 2007 và hiện đang phát triển mạnh tại Hoa Kỳ, Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ và Hồng Kông. Bên cạnh đó, dựa trên tiêu chí trích dẫn ≥ 8 hoặc đồng trích dẫn ≥ 5, 25 tài liệu đã được chọn lọc để phân tích chuyên sâu. Từ đó, bài viết tổng hợp thành ba nhóm nội dung chính: (1) khung lý thuyết và các yếu tố ảnh hưởng đến định hướng nghề nghiệp STEM; (2) nội dung, hình thức tổ chức và công cụ đánh giá trong các hoạt động giáo dục STEM; và (3) các định hướng triển khai giáo dục STEM trong tương lai.

Từ khóa: Giáo dục hướng nghiệp, hứng thú nghề nghiệp, kỳ vọng - giá trị, nhận thức xã hội về nghề nghiệp, quyết định nghề nghiệp
