Volume : I, Issue : VIII, September - 2011 A study of the correlation between Career Preference Profile and Interest in Teaching of B.Ed. Students Rekha P. Bhalerao,Ms. Sunanda Roy ,Ms. Gauri R. Varad Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The goal of every member of the teaching profession is good teaching. Thus for Teacher Education Colleges it becomes imperative
to know if the candidates will become good teachers in the future. Both interest and aptitude are essential for the prediction of
the success of an indiIXdual in a given actiIXty- job or course of instruction. Interest decides if we would be attentive to a
particular stimulus or not. Naturally when we are interested in something we would be attentive to it and this in turn would
affect the learning. Interest is both an end and a means of education. The current B.Ed. admission procedure requires
candidates to clear an aptitude test in the form of the Common Entrance Test or CET. However the candidate's interest in
teaching is not directly considered. So the researchers decided to study the interest of the B.Ed. students in teaching. The
sample of the study consisted of 74 B.Ed. students. Survey Method was followed in the study. The tools used to collect data were
Career Preference Profile: The comprehensive interest schedule (CIS) and Kakkar Interest in Teaching Scale' (KITS). The
major findings of the study were: a) Students are able to tell their preference in career. b) The analysis showed the normal
probability distribution with respect to interest in teaching. c) There is a significant positive correlation between 'education' as a
career preference and interest in teaching. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Rekha P. Bhalerao,Ms. Sunanda Roy ,Ms. Gauri R. Varad, (2011).
