A STUDY OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN RELATION TO SELF-CONCEPT

Abstract

The present research aimed to examine the relationship between self-concept and academic achievement among secondary school students. A total of 100 students from diverse backgrounds in the Sonipat district were selected through stratified random sampling, ensuring equal representation across the population. To assess self-concept, the Self-Concept Inventory (SCQ) developed by Dr. Raj Kumar Saraswat was employed. The findings revealed a positive correlation between students' self-concept and their academic achievement, while no significant differences were observed in relation to gender or type of school.
