The study investigated the effects of reciprocal peer
tutoring in the enhancement of career decision making
process among secondary school adolescent students. The
interaction of sex with treatment on career decision
making process of secondary school adolescent students
was also investigated. 120 students from two
co-educational secondary schools in Effurun, Delta State
Nigeria participated in the study. A 40 item, 5 point
Likert scale (Career Decision Making Process Scale) was
the instrument used to obtain information from the
respondents on the effect of the treatment programme on
their career decision making process. Results indicate
that subjects in the treatment group benefited
significantly from the treatment programme. Consequently
there was a significant difference in their career
decision making process at post-test. Furthermore,
results also indicated that there was no significant
effect of sex on treatment outcome at post-test. This
meant that sex had no significant impact on the career
decision making process of subjects in the treatment
group at post-test. This study therefore provides
evidence that reciprocal peer tutoring is an effective
intervention strategy for enhancing the career decision
making process of secondary school adolescents. It also
recommended that reciprocal peer tutoring be introduced
into the school system because of the immense benefits
to the students/
