JSEE 2023: Gender differences in the influence of digital media on high school students' career decisions
Professor Ohashi is a wonderful collaborator and has been one of the many mentors I have in the academe. We had been working with him on gender and engineering education. This presentation is the third based on the research Professor Ohashi has painstakingly worked on since we had our grant proposal meeting sometime May 2022. I believe it is a very important research topic, and I guess others think so too! This work won the International Session Award at JSEE 2023.

Title: Gender differences in the influence of digital media on high school students' career decisions
Authors: Yutaro Ohashi, May Kristine Jonson Carlon, Jeffrey S. Cross
Date: September 6 to 8, 2023
Abstract
A questionnaire survey was administered to 215 high school students nationwide to examine the career decision-making process of high school students. As a result, female students were found to be more likely to choose vocational schools and medical-allied fields such as nursing, health, and hygiene fields; while male students were more likely to choose science, engineering, and agriculture fields. Regarding people and things that influence career decisions, boys were more influenced by their fathers and newspapers, while girls were more influenced by TV programs, SNS, and family financial situation. For some girls, adults in family leadership positions were a disincentive to make career decisions.
