Abstract:
This study's primary goal is to look into how higher secondary science stream students' scientific areas of vocation relate to gender. The purpose of this study is to compare the scientific areas of vocation of male and female higher secondary students as well as to identify the scientific areas of vocation of students generally. For the current study, the researcher used a survey approach. To assess the scientific area of vocation, the researcher employed the Vocational Interest Record (VIR-K) that Dr. S. P. Kulshrestha offered which include ten different professions in total. One of them is a career in science. We can determine the interest area of vocation of our kids by looking at the twenty jobs/vocations/assignments listed for each of these areas in the Manual of Vocational Interest Record. 100 male and 100 female higher secondary students, representing the sample for this study, were selected at random from five different Junior colleges in the city of Aurangabad. The t-test, mean, and S.D. are used to analyse the data.
The findings indicate that the scientific field of vocation exhibited by higher secondary school students has a mean value of 7.45 and a standard deviation of 1.77. The average value and standard deviation for the scientific field of vocation among female higher secondary students are 7.47 and 1.92, respectively. The average value in the scientific field of vocation for male students in higher secondary school is 7.42, with a standard deviation of 1.62. The null hypothesis will be accepted since the obtained t-value of 0.20 is smaller than the table value of 1.96 at the 0.01 level of significance, indicating that there is no significant difference between the mean values of the male and female groups.
