Abstract
This study was carried out to identify senior secondary school girls’ mentors and role models, determine the mentoring and role modeling qualities that could promote girls interest and self efficacy in chemistry. Two hundred senior secondary school girls were purposively chosen from two senior secondary schools from Lagos educational district 1, Agege. Questionnaire was used to collect data and data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Scientist (SPSS). The results showed that senior secondary school girls mentors are their mothers (N=103, 51.5%), there role model is also their mothers (N=65, 32.5%) closely followed by medical doctors (N=47, 23.5%). Both represent more than half of the total sample.
The findings of the study also showed that self confidence of mentors can significantly promote girls self efficacy in chemistry. Openness/objectivity of mentors and optimism/hard working nature of role model significantly promote senior secondary school girls interest and self efficacy in chemistry. Self confidence of mentor was not a realistic measure of senior secondary school girls’ interest in chemistry. Moral behavior of role model cannot significantly promote girls interest and self efficacy in chemistry.
