Development of an Academic Career: Scoping Review
https://doi.org/10.56414/jeac.2022.29
Abstract
Purpose. To identify and describe the main trajectories of academic career development in the educational and research space.
Materials and Methods. The subject field review was based on the PRISMA protocol. Sources were selected from the ScienceDirect and RINC databases. The timeframe of the study is from 2012 to 2022. The development of an academic career was considered in the focus of social-cognitive theory.
Results. Initially, 6121 articles were extracted by keywords, of which 127 articles fully met the inclusion criteria for the study (40 in Russian and 87 in English). The characteristics of academic career development were identified in three thematic blocks: (1) individual characteristics and personal resources, (2) contextual influences on the development of an academic career, and (3) active regulation of behavior in the context of an academic career. The main trends in the development of an academic career in Russian and foreign academic practice were identified.
Conclusion: In Russia, interest in the issue under study is quite limited, which does not coincide with the focuses of foreign research.
