Sunita Ananda Raste; Sahana Murthy
Educational Research and Reviews, v19 n1 p13-25 2024
This article addressed the significant issue of identity crisis experienced by students in their choice of profession, as highlighted in various research studies. The importance of examining professional was emphasized to identity development from a disciplinary perspective, particularly in the biosciences and allied fields. To achieve this, we conducted a synthesis of 85 research articles, aiming to comprehend the definitions and measurement approaches employed in understanding professional identity and its development within these disciplines. Our analysis also encompasses a summary of the factors influencing professional identity development, coupled with strategies to support it. The findings suggest that professional identity is linked to an individual's persistence and success in a given profession. This research provides valuable insights for researchers and educators striving to create an optimal learning environment that facilitates students in exploring and shaping their professional identities.
