Female Students in Palestinian Public Secondary Schools Disregarding Technical Education: A Proposed Educational Administrative Plan
Abstract
The study aims to identify the reasons of disregarding technical education in Palestine by female students at secondary schools and to establish an educational administrative plan to reduce it. The researcher designed an instrument that included four domains of (46) items (awareness and guidance, economic, social, and educational). The total population is (2874) female students and a sample of (634) female students was selected in a stratified random manner. The results show that there were no significant differences in opinions of female general secondary school students in all domains due to the father’s and mother’s occupation. There were significant differences in awareness and guidance, economic, social, and educational domains due to the study branch of secondary school, the father's educational levels, and the student’s address. There were significant differences in awareness and guidance domains due to the mother's educational level. In addition, there was a significant difference in social level due to monthly family income. There were significant differences in all domains due to family members enrolling in technical education. Based on these results, an educational management plan was proposed to reduce the reasons for disregarding technical education.
