A study of the vocational interests of a group of teachers college freshmen

Abstract

The Strong vocational interest inventory was given to all freshmen enrolled in the orientation course of the Teachers College at Nebraska. The women seemed not to have teaching as a primary interest, so a further study of their interests was made. The majority of them were interested in teaching as a temporary occupation, but marriage and home activities were more desired than a permanent professional career. Observations concerning interest measurement by the Strong inventory are made. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
