It was applied on a sample of 97 students from the first year secondary, a common trunk of science and technology and a common trunk of literature and foreign languages in Tlemcen and Sidi Bel Abbes, which were selected according to the random method, based on two individual criterion, the occupational interest scale and the self-estimates.
