Influences on Our Choice of Subjects in Secondary School

 

Recently we completed our research project, which we presented in the NCI. Our project is about the choice of subjects that you can do in secondary school.

The first thing we did was ask what subjects are  in the different schools in our area.
The second thing we did was ask what subjects do you need for different careers.
The third thing we did was create a questionnaire about what influences our choice in subjects.

In this we asked

a) Have I thought about my subjects for next year?

b) Will I discuss my subject choices with my parents?

c)  Is it important what subjects my friends pick?

d) Do the subjects in the school influence my choice of school?

e) Is it my parents responsibility to choose my subjects?

Every boy in the class, all 18 of us,  completed the questionnaire and our teacher counted the answers (on the Likert Scale).
We then represented our answers on a bar chart and pie charts using EXCEL. It shows how we answered each question and what we feel about the importance of subjects next year in secondary school.
