Abstract

This study aimed at identifying the motives that urge General Secondary Certificate to join vocational and technical colleges in Gaza Governorates and to define the ranks of those motives. It also aimed at finding any significant differences between those motives due to sex, college, qualification, and General Secondary Certificate GPA. The population of the study consisted of students attending three technical colleges in Gaza in the academic year (2002/2003). The questionnaire was applied on random sample of (110) students from the three vocational and technical colleges. The data was analyzed through calculating data means, standard deviations, ranks, and One – Way ANOVA.
