Dr. Ansari Khurshid Ahmed
Abstract:
The main objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between gender and the literary specializations of higher secondary arts stream students. This study aims to identify the literary areas of vocation of students in general as well as to compare the literary areas of vocation of male and female higher secondary students.
The researcher employed a survey approach for this investigation. The researcher used Dr. S. P. Kulshrestha's Vocational Interest Record (VIR-K) to evaluate the literary area of vocation. Which, in total, comprise ten distinct vocations? A profession in literature is one among them. By examining the twenty jobs, vocations, or assignments that are provided for each of these categories in the Manual of Vocational Interest Record, we can ascertain our children's interest area or vocation. The sample for this study consisted of 100 male and 100 female higher secondary school students who were chosen at random from five different institutions in the city of Aurangabad. The data are analysed using the t-test, mean, and S.D.
The results showed that the literary profession has a standard deviation of 1.60 and a mean value of 7.91. In the literary field of profession, female higher secondary pupils had an average value of 7.84 and a standard deviation of 1.58, respectively. For male students in higher secondary school, the average score in the literary field of vocation is 8, with a standard deviation of 1.62. Since there is no discernible difference between the mean values of the male and female groups, the obtained t-value of 0.71 is less than the table value of 1.96 at the 0.01 level of significance, supporting the acceptance of the null hypothesis.
