dc.description.abstractSubsequently the interest patterns based on the vocational interests of 2045 Namibian grade 10 learners were investigated. For this part of the study comparisons were made and differences highlighted on grounds of gender, geographical setting, and academic performance. Clear differences in interest were found on most of the scales between males and females, between those from urban and rural areas, between learners from different geographical regions, and also between learners with different academic abilities. Specific attention was given to a discussion of those learners within the regular classroom who do not qualify to continue with education in the formal system after grade 10en_US
dc.description.abstractA thorough investigation of John Holland's Theory of Vocational Personalities and Work Environments and research related to this theory was also undertaken. From the numerous research results available it became clear that some aspects of the theory could be verified to a greater extent than could others. As part of this investigation the relevance of the Holland theory for the Namibian situation was investigated. This discussion concentrated on the fit of the data mainly as related to the Holland personality types, the hexagon model, and the dimensions underlying the hexagon. This investigation revealed for example that the Namibian data did not fit the Holland Hexagon, in particular the circump/ex hypothesis, well. However some of the dimensions underlying the Hexagon including the idea that types may be grouped in clusters rather than as points around a circle were more compatible with the Namibian dataen_US
dc.description.abstractIn addition to this, specific problems related to subject and career selection were investigated through a number of case studies using mainly qualitative methods of research. Some general based on these case studies were discussed in relation to Holland's theoryen_US
