dc.description.abstractAdolescents who are nearing the end of their experience in high school are faced with many opportunities and challenges, which may direct their future path towards higher education and career development. The future orientation among Bahamian adolescents was looked at from an integral lens, which guided this research. The beliefs and goals Bahamian adolescents had for their future were explored and included present actions and plans students proposed to realize these goals. Further, the expectations adolescents perceived others had for them and the perceptions they held for themselves also guided this research. Finally, outside influences and systems that impact adolescents’ implementation and realization of their goals were identified. The use of integral methodological pluralism, supported by mixed methods research, gathered phenomenological, hermeneutical and empirical data from school and community members involved in a private high school in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. Studies on future orientation with adolescents in other countries provided a comparison for and offered additional insight into the phenomenon of college and career readiness.en_US
