Gender in Career Choices of Fourth Grade Students
Journal of Theoretical Educational Science, v13 n2 p440-455 Apr 2020
The aim of the study is to examine the career choices of 4th grade students from gender perspective. The research was designed as a mixed method in which qualitative and quantitative research approaches were used together. 417 primary school students participated in the study in which "Attitude Towards Gender-Based Career Choices Scale" was used. 77 students were drawn a picture on which career they wanted to do in the future, and then they were asked to explain why they preferred. In the data analysis process, descriptive statistics (arithmetic mean and standard deviation) and t-test were used. For qualitative data, document analysis was used. According to the results of the research, it was found that the attitudes of 4th grade students towards women's choices of career did not differ according to gender. It was determined that most girls preferred to be a doctor and teacher and the majority of the boys preferred to be a football player and they preferred to be a doctor in the second place. At the end of the study, make suggestions for teachers, administrators and families to ensure gender equality.
