MOTIVATIONAL
FACTORS AND VOCATIONAL PREFERENCES OF SECONDARY SCHOOL ADOLESCENTS IN
EDUCATIONAL ZONE
ABSTRACT
This study
sought to examine the motivational factors and vocational preference of
secondary school adolescents. Four research questions and two null hypotheses
were generated to guide the study. The design of the study was a descriptive
survey design. The sample consisted of 349 Senior Secondary School (SSS) III
students in the secondary school in Onitsha Education Zone of Anambra State.
The instrument used for the study was vocational interest and motivational
factor questionnaire (VIMFQ). Means, standard deviation, chi-square test were
used to analyze the data. Major findings of the study showed that there was a
significant difference between male and female students who showed preferences
to various vocational areas; there was a significant difference between urban
and rural students who showed preferences to various vocational areas; the male
and female students are motivated by external influences to a low extent,
rewards/benefits, self expression values and people oriented motivated them in
their choice of a vocation to a great extent, the urban students are motivated
by external influence to a low extent while rural students are influenced to a
great extent; rewards/benefits, self-expression values and people oriented
values motivated both urban and rural students to a great extent. Based on
these findings, conclusions were drawn and the educational implications were
extensively discussed. Among the recommendations made were that more
professional guidance counsellors should be posted to schools to perform
functions like providing students with vocational information, helping students
to identify their interest, capabilities and abilities in relation to their
vocational choices. counsellors should guide the students in selection of
school subjects which are related to their area of aspiration than allowing
non-professionals to remain in that Post. Teachers should emphasis during their
lesson, the career implications of subjects so that students will see how
individual subjects relate to existing careers thus increasing their knowledge
of occupations.
Background
of the Study
In a
developing country like Nigeria which is at the verge of changing from a
traditionally agricultural country to an industrial one, the choice of a
vocation is a complex task. The longer years of apprenticeship to the family
trade such as weaving, carving and fishing are being replaced by years of
formal education in primary and secondary school with resultant effect that the
children may not take up their parents’ trade. Vocation is an activity, trade
or occupation and others constituting a life style expressed in time, energy
and activity (Oladele, 2002). It simply refers to a type work or way of life
that an individual believes he or she is specially suited for. Vocation can be said
to reflect one’s calling to a particular business or profession. It is an
occupation to which an individual’s life is committed to and has inherent
liking and feeling for the work (Eze, 2010). For the purpose of this study
vocation is a profession, occupation, employment by which one earns his living
especially one for which he has a period of training in an institution or
through apprenticeship.
