A comparative analysis of Vocational Interests and Achievement Motivation in Govt. Central High School Aizawl

Abstract

The study looks at how vocational interest and achievement motivation relate to each other in high school students. A sample of 200 students (100 male and 100 female) in Class 9 and 10 from Govt. Central High School, Aizawl was chosen. Data were collected using a Vocational Interest Inventory and an Achievement Motivation Scale. The results show that there is a weak positive link between vocational interest and achievement motivation, with a correlation of 0.044. This study suggests that schools should provide career guidance so that student’s motivations match their vocational interests and help them find the right career path based on their vocational interest. The study also highlights the importance of considering students vocational interest when developing their career goals and providing support to help them achieve those goals.
