| Popis: | 104 Sign language interpreters’ career constructive process is discussed via narrative approach in this study. This study aims to present the career value of sign language interpreters. Re-search materials include research participants’ personal value, skills, needs, interests, and the reciprocal effect of the work experiences and the occupational environment. Based on the narrative research method, the present study investigated the occupational process of four sign language interpreters via semi-structured in-depth interview. The results of this study include two parts: First, sign language interpreters’ career constructive process of life experiences and career experiences is explored via holistic-content analysis from the first person perspective. Second, category-content analysis is used to discover the career concept of individual career development from research participants’ career story. The career process shows not only research participants’ work categories and work contents, but also the way how they develop their own career constructs from work experiences. The career constructs include the individual engagement and commitment to career influenced by the understanding of occupational environment, individual perspective on career process (cultivating interest of sign language, learning professional skills and knowledge, developing work attitude and style), the dynamical career formed by reciprocal effect of an individual and the occupational environment, and the increasing stability of career overtime In conclusion, the four sign language interpreters emphasize a complete training plan, the certification and management practices of sign language interpreters, and those factors could construct the professional performance of sign language translators, and promote people to respect the profession of sign language interpreters. |
