| Summary: | The motivation for this research was the need for a short
picture interest inventory for vocational guidance, which pupils
would find less tiring, be less time consuming and eliminate any
verbal problems. The purpose of this research is to develop a
picture interest inventory for white pupils and students to aid
them in subject choices (std. 5), field of study (std. 7) and
vocational guidance (std. 10).
A study of literature on the definition of interest, aspects of
interest and how they related to interest was undertaken.
Research on interest measurements was completed and the
questionnaire method and -technique received detailed attention.
The interpretation and functions of interest inventories were
examined and several interest inventories were discussed.
Afterwards a representative sample was tested on the picture
interest inventory. Simultaneously the CODUS was completed for
validation purposes. Six weeks later the picture interest
inventory was retested for reliability.
An acceptable set of norms were attained for white Afrikaans
speaking pupils from the Rustenburg region for the use of this
picture interest inventory. Reliability and validity of the
picture interest inventory were obtained. Intercorrelations and
sex differences in the picture interest inventory were
calculated.
Most results were satisfactory. === Thesis (MEd)--PU vir CHO, 1992
