A study on self-concept among b.ed students in ongkharak district

Abstract

This study examined the self-concept among B.Ed students in Ongkharak District, adopting a normative survey method. The participants included 46 B.Ed students who were randomly selected from a B.Ed college in Ongkharak District. The research instrument utilized for data collection was the Self-Concept Questionnaire, developed by Dr. Jerusalem and SALF, validated at a 0.05 level of significance.The results revealed that male and female B.Ed students do not differ significantly in their self-concept. This finding suggests that gender does not play a significant role in influencing the self-concept of B.Ed students in this context. The study highlights the uniformity in self-concept levels between male and female students, indicating a balanced perspective across genders in their sense of self.Future research could explore additional factors that might influence self-concept, such as socio-economic status, teaching experiences, or cultural influences. Expanding the sample size and including participants from multiple institutions could further enhance the generalizability of the findings. These insights can contribute to developing targeted interventions to support self-concept development in teacher education programs.
