Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
Acceptance in the class gives the students a sense of belongingness which develops positive traits in him/or her. The development of such traits is conducive for desirable academic achievement. Academic Achievement has more or less positive relationship with the Sociometric status of pupils. Moreover the academic achievements of pupils have great impact on their social acceptance in the classroom group which, in turn, develops positive or negative feelings towards the existing schools situations or conditions. The rejection by the group members may be sufficient to develop undesirable personality traits in students which have direct relation with their adjustments in the school. This maladjustment to some extent has direct bearing on the academic achievement of students. In the present study, the adolescent students studying in class X belonging to different Sociometric groups viz. popular, neglected and rejected were compared on the academic achievement in the general view and in the boys as well as in the girls groups respectively. The significant sex differences were also studied among popular, neglected and rejected groups of students. The study was conducted on 120 students belonging to popular, neglected and rejected groups of students which were identified by administering Sociometric Questionnaire prepared by Dr. A.N. Sharma. Regarding the academic achievement, the investigator consulted the examination In charge of each selected school and enquired about the marks obtained by students in previous two annual examinations (IX and VIII classes).The data was analysed by using the statistical techniques viz. Mean ,S.D. and C.R. technique.
