Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
This study was designed to develop a new inventory to measure vocational intelligence of Malaysian adolescents. The Design and Development Research (DDR) model was adopted as a main research design in this study and three phases were involved. Phase one was the need analysis phase - involving the modified Delphi study and focus group discussion where the importance of identifying students’ vocational intelligence and their attributes were identified. Six attributes of vocational intelligence were identified - background, interest, personality, ability, skill, and creativity. Phase two was the design and development phase where an inventory to determine students’ vocational intelligence, named MyVQ, was developed using the attributes found in phase one. The verification and evaluation of MyVQ were carried out in phase three - the implementation and evaluation phase. The Cronbach’s alpha values of each section of the instrument demonstrated that all items in each section have acceptable internal consistency. MyVQ was tested to 400 Year-Six students in five zones of peninsular Malaysia, selected using stratified random sampling. Three different types of primary schools were selected from each zone. MyVQ scores were analysed descriptively according to attributes and total scores as well as to obtain norms for Malaysian adolescents. Using MyVQ, the samples can be categorized into four different levels of vocational intelligence: gifted (2.3%), high (18.5%), moderate (69.5%) and low (9.8%). Students who were in the gifted and high levels (20.8%) are proposed to choose Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) educational pathways. Hence, MyVQ is a valid and reliable new instrument to measure vocational intelligence that could be used to map vocational intelligence among adolescents. In implication, MyVQ can be used as a diagnostic and screening tool to place students in appropriate educational and training institutions in order to produce future quality human resources to achieve sustainable economic development.
