Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the
impact of sex-role stereotyping among the secondary
school students in relation to career choice.
The sample of the study consisted of 293 students.
A stratified random sampling technique was employed.
There were altogether 158 male and 135 female students.
The study sample also comprised 36 students' parents.
The research instrument used for the data collection
was an adapted version of Motivation for occupational
preference scale (MOPS) developed by Bakare (1974).
Five main hypotheses were tested using t-test and
One way Analyses of variance (Anova) statistical
technique.
The findings of the study showed that parents
played a significant role in influencing the career
choice of their children, secondly, the finding showed
that sex discrimination significantly influences the
occupational preference of secondary school students
in sokoto state. Thirdly, the vocational aspiration
of urban students differed significantly from those
of rural students. Another important finding was that
sex-role stereotyping affects both male and female
students on their occupational decision making.
Based on the findings of the study, some
recommendations were made which include;
The state Ministry of Education, sokoto; the
principals; guidance counsellors and/or career masters;
and teachers, should help to bring their professional
expertise to bear in order to make guidance services in
secondary schools more effective.
