This study investigated influences of gender towards career maturity among secondary
school students in Zanzibar: a case of Magharibi district. Participants of this study were
obtained through stratified random as well as purposive random sampling techniques. Total
sample of the current study comprised of 124 participants whereby 20 were teachers, 20
were parents and 84 were students related to public secondary schools. Moreover, the study
employed an ethnographic design. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires
and observation guides. Besides, Donald Super’s career maturity theory and Linda
Gottfredson’s theory of circumscription and compromise were considered as guiding posts
for conducting the study. The study revealed that male students possessed higher career
maturity than their female counter parts. However, Logistic regression statistical tool of SPSS
Version 21 showed that gender was statistically insignificant influence on secondary school
students’ career maturity. Furthermore, the findings revealed that lack of career guidance
provisions hindered career maturity among secondary school students. Although, the
findings revealed that male students had higher frequency in the tendency of participating in
career related activities compared to female students. Nevertheless, the differences of
involvements on career related activities across the gender of participants were found
statistically insignificance whereas their sig. values were greater than the p values(p >
0.05).Additionally, the findings revealed that teachers and parents had similar perception on
both sexes on career to their children since they did not consider one sex as the superior.
Hence, origin of disparities in career maturity between secondary school boys and girls was
observed to be resulted by social culture. Moreover, the findings indicated that there was
apparently no career disparities implication as the teachers used to involve both sexes in
different activities during the teaching and learning process. Based on these findings, the
study concluded that in general, gender did not influence career maturity among secondary
schools students in Zanzibar. Hence, the current study recommended improving career
guidance services that would expose students to modern career opportunities and make
them mature as far as career is concerned. |
