The purpose of this study aims to understand vocational ambition and vocational selection of the students and the alumni in college dance department, and also to explore how life events and career inference affect their attitudes toward vocational ambition and vocational selection.
This study was conducted by the self-edited questionnaire as the investigation tool. By using judgment sampling and convenience sampling, the valid questionnaires were 687 pieces from the dance students in college and university and 110 pieces from the alumni who graduated from dance schools with 100% and 30% effective return rate respectively.
The conclusions drawn from the study show that the dance students in college and graduates are mainly doing dance-related vocations, especially dance performance and dance teaching, but differences may arise in different stages. As for vocational ambition and vocational selection, the graduates pay more attention to the levels of availability, stability, and satisfaction while college students focus more on the level of fondness. In addition, there is a significant difference among the overall students, the students of dance performance group and the students of dance teaching group. With regard to life events, the factors "successful participation" and "learning experience" have significant difference in the students of dance performance and the students of dance teaching. Both factors seem more important to the dance students in college and those who have not switched vocations. As for career inference, "security and smoothness" and "support and suggestions" mean more to those college students and the participants who have changed their vocations. Finally, among the students of dance performance group, the career switchers and college students think it important to be "qualified and happy", but those who have never changed their vocations reveal the opposite result.
According to the findings presented above, it is suggested that schools, teachers, students and relevant authorities should combine dance professional knowledge with career guidance, and help dancers have better career development. Hopefully this study will provide valuable implications for the improvement of dance education and future researchers.
