n Standaardiseringsondersoek na die MB-10 op graad sewe leerders in die Wes-Kaap ProvinsieWium, Jacobus 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the light of the political dispensation and the subsequent changes in Education, it has become
imperative to offer every learner the best possible opportunities with regard to the curriculum.
This would imply that every learner has to be equipped with skills and values which would enable
him / her to enter the Labour market with confidence in order to realise his / her potential and to
become a useful member of society. It should also be kept in mind that learners would be able to
exit from the schooling system at an earlier stage, as education is compulsory only to the level of
grade nine.
This presupposes that learners will have to receive information on different types of school,
subject choices and further training as early as grade seven. Research also proves that interest is
the most important factor in the choice of a career. Previously, the Kodus was the only
standardised measuring instrument used to determine fields of interest of learners in grade seven,
and it was only standardised in relation to white learners. The need for a measuring instrument,
which will include all race groups (white, black and coloured) seems to be a pressing one at the
moment.
The purpose of the investigation was to standardise the MB-IOon learners in grade seven. In the
process, special attention had to be devoted to cross-cultural factors, gender, interest in different
occupations as well as the permanence and stability of this interest.
The investigation was conducted in two phases. Firstly, 710 learners from 10 different schools
(urban / rural) were tested. Afterward, English and Afrikaans glossary were compiled to
accommodate black learners whose mother tongue was not English, and to make provision for
regional variants of Afrikaans. Secondly, an experimental group, consisting of 1923 learners
from 26 schools (urban / rural), was tested; during this process the new glossary were used. The
results of the experimental group were then processed statistically.
From the investigation the following become evident:
• an analysis of the fields and items indicates that there are 14 items in four fields with an
unacceptably low reliability - an inspection of content indicated that this could be attributed mainly to a lack of knowledge of the meanings of words, poor word comprehension, a lack of
exposure and the general unfamiliarity of the activity.
• that there are no significant differences in the ten fields of interest between white, coloured
and black learners; such differences do, however, exist between the sexes.
• That an investigation of validity confirmed that the MB-lO indeed measures levels of interest.
On the basis of the result of the investigation and statistical analysis, the compilation of separate
norms for boys and girls in grade seven went ahead.
According to Meyer (1998) it is not desirable to change a questionnaire which is generally
reliable, as it will not necessarily lead to an improvement. In the light of this we recommend that
the MB-lO be used unmodified for grade sevens, as well as the glossary. In the case of the 14
"problem items", learners must be referred back to the glossary specifically in order to check the
meanings of words. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die lig van die nuwe staatkundige bedeling en gepaardgaande veranderings op onderwysgebied,
het dit noodsaaklik geword om elke leerder die beste moontlike geleenthede tot die kurrikulum te
bied. Dit impliseer dat elke leerder sodanig met kennis, vaardighede en waardes toegerus moet
word om tot die wêreld van werk te kan toetree ten einde 'n nuttige landsburger te word. Hiermee
saam moet ook in gedagte gehou word dat leerders die skoolsisteem vroeër kan verlaat deurdat
hulle verpligte onderwys slegs tot graad nege salontvang.
Dit bring mee dat leerders alreeds ten minste in graad sewe leiding moet ontvang in terme van
skooltipe, vakkeuses en verdere opleiding. Navorsing het ook bevind dat belangstelling die
belangrikste faktor by beroepskeuse is. Voorheen was die Kodus die enigste gestandaardiseerde
meetmiddel om graad sewe leerders se belangstelling te meet, maar dit was net op die wit leerders
gestandaardiseer. Die noodsaak aan 'n meetmiddel wat al die rasgroepe (wit, bruin, swart) sou
insluit, blyk 'n groot behoefte te wees.
Die doel van die onderhawige ondersoek was om die MB-lOop graad sewe leerders te
standaardiseer. In die proses moes daar deeglik met veral die kruiskulturele aspekte soos taal, die
verskille tussen die geslagte, die permanentheid en stabiliteit van die belangstelling en die
ouderdom van die jong leerders rekening gehou word.
Die ondersoek is tweeledig uitgevoer. Eerstens is 710 leerders by 10 skole (stad I platteland)
getoets waarna 'n Afrikaanse woordelys sowel as 'n Engelse woordelys saamgestel is om veral
swart leerders te akkommodeer wie se moedertaal nie Engels is nie asook om vir streeksvariante
in Afrikaans voorsiening te maak. Tweedens is 'n eksperimentele groep, bestaande uit 1923
leerders by 26 skole (stad I platteland), getoets waartydens van die woordelyste soos uit die
loodsondersoek saamgestel, gebruik gemaak is. Hierdie eksperimentele groep se resultate is toe
statisties verwerk.
Uit die ondersoek blyk die volgende:
• 'n ontleding van die velde en items toon dat daar 14 items in vier velde is waarvan die
betroubaarheid onaanvaarbaar laag is - 'n inhoudelike inspeksie het aangetoon dat dit hoofsaaklik aan gebrek aan woordbetekenis, swak woordbegrip, gebrek aan blootstelling
en onbekendheid met die aktiwiteit toegeskryfkan word
• dat daar nie beduidende verskille op die tien belangstellingsvelde tussen die rasse wat
hulle belangstelling betref bestaan nie, maar dat daar slegs verskille tussen geslagte
bestaan
• dat die geldigheidsondersoek bevestig dat die MB-lO inderdaad belangstelling meet.
Op grond van die ondersoek se resultate is toe voortgegaan om gesamentlike norms vir seuns (wit,
bruin, swart) asook vir meisies (wit, bruin, swart) op te stel.
Volgens Meyer (1998) is dit nie wenslik om 'n vraelys wat in die geheel betroubaar is, te
verander nie omdat dit nie noodwendig tot 'n verbetering lei nie. In hierdie lig beskou, word daar
aanbeveel dat die MB-lO onveranderd vir graad sewes saam met die woordelyste wat toegevoeg
is, gebruik word. By die betrokke 14 "probleemitems" moet die leerders ook pertinent na die
woordelys terug verwys word om die woordbetekenisse na te gaan.

Self-monitoring processes and Holland's theory of vocational choiceLev, Julian January 1989 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between self-monitoring and the constructs of the Holland vocational theory. Two hundred thirty nine subjects from two schools in the Pacific Northwest, a small university and a vocational school, completed the Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI; Holland, 1985a), My Vocational Situation (Holland, Daiger, Power, 1980a), the revised Self-Monitoring Scale (SMS; Snyder & Gangestad, 1986) and a demographic questionnaire that included the Occupational Alternatives Question.A regression analysis tested hypotheses about the relationship between the Enterprising and Social subscales of the VPI and self-monitoring for both sexes. A 2x2 MANOVA investigated sex by self-monitoring differences on three measures of congruent vocational decision-making. Three 2x2 ANOVAs on sex by self-monitoring investigated differences on measures of consistency and definition of vocational personality and stability of choice. Factor analyses were performed for two self-monitoring groups to test the extent to which the groups' responses to the VPI conform to Holland's theory.Results for men indicated that high self-monitors tended to prefer Enterprising occupations and low self-monitors preferred Realistic occupations. No significant relationships were found for women between the VPI and SMS. Low self-monitors scored significantly higher on one measure of congruence, between college major and first vocational choice. High self-monitors scored significantly higher on consistency and their responses to the VPI conformed more with the Holland theory. There were no other significant differences found between groups. No sex differences were found in these analyses.These results suggest that high self-monitors have more information about vocational roles and that they use this information to make vocational decisions. A further suggestion is that low self-monitors make decisions on the basis of their attitudes and tend to act more consistently on those decisions. It is argued that the two groups have different decision-making processes with highs seeking information about a job's task demands and lows considering internal responses in order to make vocational decisions. / Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

A construct validity study of the career development inventory and the attitude scale of the career maturity inventoryDean, Susan A. January 1981 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to gain more information about the nomological network that supported the construct of career maturity. To achieve this purpose nine hypotheses were tested using a sample of 104 fourth year college students and 24 first year college students. These hypotheses tested the relationship of the within and between portions of the nomological network, the monotonic function of scores on measures of career maturity, and the sex differences of scores on measures of career maturity.
A correlation matrix, a truncated multitrait-multimethod matrix, and t-tests between group means revealed that the convergent and discriminant validity of the construct of career maturity as measured by the Career Development Inventory and the Attitude Scale of the Career Maturity Inventory is far from assured. The Attitude Scale of the CMI failed to converge on the attitudinal scales of the CDI and correlated significantly with three out of the four cognitive scales of the CDI. The attitudinal scales of the CDI converged as expected. The cognitive scales of the CDI showed moderate correlations with each other with the exception of Scale 6, Information A and Preferred Occupation. Scale 6 had very low correlations with all of the CDI scales.
Scales 1, 3, 4, and 5 of the CDI and the Attitude Scale of the CMI failed to present a pattern of correlations that would support their discriminant validity. Scale 1 of the CDI had significantly higher r's with locus of control and personal adjustment than with Scale 3 of the CDI. The Attitude Scale of the CMI had a significantly higher r-with grade point average than with Scales 2 and 6 of the CDI. It also had a significantly higher r with locus of control than with Scale 2 of the CDI. Scale 3 had a significantly higher r with grade point average than with Scales 1, 2 and 6 of the CDI. Scale 4 had a significantly higher r with grade point average than with Scales 2 and 6 of the CDI. Scale 5 had a significantly higher r with grade “l point average than with Scale 6 of the CDI. There were no significant differences between mean scores of female and male fourth year college 6 students at the .05 level on Scales 2, 3 and 5 of the CDI and the Attitude Scale of the CMI. Fourth year college students had significantly higher mean scores at the .05 level than first year college students on Scales 1 and 5 of the CDI. / Ed. D.
