| dc.description.abstract | This study was initiated to investigate what role counseling can play in encouraging and developing self efficacy, self motivation, and self awareness of vocational trained graduates of Kano state tertiary institutions. This in turn could change the attitudes of the graduates of vocational education of Kano state tertiary institutions to practice the vocational knowledge and skills they acquired for self employment. The objective of the study was to establish the effectiveness of counseling strategies in raising their self awareness, self efficacy, and self motivation; which could lead to vocational practice among the vocational graduates. The design is a comparative study and also a mixture of positivists and interpretative paradigms. After giving to the experimental group counseling intervention, their self efficacy, self motivation, and self awareness were compared with that of the control group. Using a t test, the SE, SM, and SA of both the experimental and control groups were compared. The findings indicate that the SE has a t value of 14.554 and a sig value of 0.000<0.05; and the SM has a t value of 14.421, and a sig value of 0.000<0.05; while SA has a t value of 14.200 and a sig value of 0.000<0.05.Hence, this led to the rejection of the null hypothesis which says there is no significant difference between the SE, SM, and SA of the experimental group, and that of the control group.Therefore this indicates that counseling significantly raises the self efficacy, self motivation, and self awareness of the vocational graduates. The researchers recommends that adequate and professional school counselors and facilities should be provided to every school, resource mobilization to assist the vocational graduates, and also group counseling should be adopted by school counselors to raise the self efficacy, self motivation, and self awareness of their student which are personality attributes that could help in making them become self employed, instead of waiting for white collar jobs which is not readily available for them. | en_US |
