Introduction:

 

            Self concept in the central theme around which a large number of the major aspects of personality are organized.  Cattel referred self concept as the â??Key-Stone of Personality, Lewin (1951) has pointed out that self concept gives the consistency to personality.  Self concept is the bases fro oneâ??s program in oneâ??s life of it is necessary to develop self confidence.  In the process of learning from others experiences one must have self concept.  It helps a person to compete with others.  It makes him accept the failure and success in the same manner because he knows himself well.  To build a general conception about others, self Concept is very much needed.

            Strengthening oneâ??s self concept may lead to perform well in his examination.  A sense of personal worth should be cultivated through good education. 

            In this present scenario of the commercial and competitive world, the investigator tries to investigate the self concept of students in different schools in relation to gender.

 

Self Concept:

            Self concept in a composite of a persons, thoughts and feelings of strivings of hopes and fear and fantasies, his views of what he is what has been.  What he might become and his attitudes becoming to his worth.

Gender:

            Feminist dictionary (1985) refers that â??it is often used as a synonym of the sex i.e biological maleness or femaleness.  However, it is also used particularly by contemporary writers, to refer to the socially imposed dictionary of masculine and feminine role and character traits.

            Encyclopedia of feminism (1986) refers â??Gender to the Socially imposed decision between the sexes, where as sex refers to the historical, anatomical differences between male and female.  Gender refers to the emotional and Psychological attributes which a given culture expects to coincide with physical maleness and femalenessâ?.

 

 

Adolescence:

            â??Psychologically, adolescence is the age when the individual becomes integrated into the society of adults the age when the child no longer feels that he is below the level of his elders but equal, at least in rightsâ?¦..This integration into adult society has many affective aspects, more or less linked with pubertyâ?¦â?¦â?¦..It also includes very profound intellectual changesâ?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦..These intellectual transformations, typical of the adolescents, â??thinkingâ? enable his not only to achieve his integration into the social relationship of adults, which is in fact, the most general characteristic of this period of developmentâ?.

-         Jean Piaget

            The hypothesis â??There is no significant difference in the self concept school in acceplied because the obtained â??tâ?? value is less than the theoretical value of significant  at 0.05 level.

            The boys and girls of Government and Matriculation school do not differ the self concept.

            Thus the researcher want to study the self concept of students at secondary level.  Who are considered as adolescents of only at this stage.  Many concepts are formed in oneâ??s life. 

            During adolescent stage concepts formal are may be due to the treatment of teachers at school and parented behaviour at home of the students in two schools (ie) Government and Matriculation when the students are alive.

 

 

Findings:

There is no difference in the self concept of boys of two schools.
The girls of the two schools do not differ in their self concept.
There is no difference between the students of the 2 schools in their self concept.
There is no difference between the boys and girls of Government school in their self concept.
Boys and girls of Matriculation school do not differ in their self concept.

Recommendations:

      In general, there is no significant difference between boys and girls of secondary

level students in two different schools.

      In order to develop their self concept among girls and boys encouragement,

incentives, rewards should be given to  who participate in the adventurous activities in the school.

      The investigation has first of all helped the investigator to gain more knowledge

regarding self concept of the students.  This will help an investigator to carry such a study on some other sample.  This will help the students to develop their personality as a whole to become worthy citizen of tomorrow.
