Abstract

This study aims to investigate whether there is any significant difference found in the self-concept and self-regulation of higher secondary students in terms of gender, locality, and type of school and its relationship. In this normative survey, the samples were selected by using simple random technique from five higher secondary schools at Villupuram district, Tamil Nadu, India. A sample of 300 eleventh standard students during the academic year 2018-2019 was selected. The research tools consisted of individual data collection form and the Academic Self-Concept (ASC) Scale and Self- Regulation Scale. The data were analyzed with the help of IBM SPSS Statistics V21.0. For analyzing the data mean, standard deviation, t-test, F-test, and Pearson's product moment correlation were used as statistical techniques. Findings show that the higher secondary girls, urban students, and government-aided school students are found to be better in their self-concept and self-regulation, and low positive relationship is found between self-concept and self-regulation of higher secondary students.
