Volume : I, Issue : II, March - 2011 Self Concept of High And Low Achieving Adolescents R. K. Adsul Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Studies of the relationship between selfconcept
and achievement in educational settings
have been a major focus of research and theory for
many years (Hamachek, 1995; House, 1996;
Hattie, 1992; Marsh et al., 1988; Burns, 1979).
Research has supported the belief that there is a
persistent and significant relation between the
self-concept and academic achievement. Fink,
(1962); Doyle and Purkey (1970) have
documented a significant relationship among
variables such as academic achievement, school
satisfaction, and self-concept. It has also been
noted that this relationship has been reported for
children all grade levels, from the primary grade
levels through college (Mc Candless and Evans,
1973; Adeniran, 1985; Salawn, 1991). Academic
success and positive self-concept have also been
shown to be positively correlated in Black and
Hispanic children (Vasquez, 1974; Borovetz,
1975). Ram Kumar (1972) found positive and
significant relationship between self-concept and
academic achievement. Sharma (1979) reported
that self-concept affects academic achievement. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : R. K. Adsul, (2011). Self Concept of High And Low Achieving Adolescents.
