Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 7
Abstract
The study was designed to examine the relationships of the attributes of self-concept of the women teachers‟ with their effectiveness as teachers. Hundred college students including both boys and girls were participants in the study. Each student was asked to recall the names of two women primary teachers who have made significant impacts on his /her life. Students were asked to rate their teachers on an 11-point Students‟ Perception of teacher rating scale which consisted 11 characteristics of an effective teacher. The concerned teachers were then tested on their five-dimensions of self-concept using Teachers‟ Self-concept questionnaire. Correlational analyses pointed out that 35 of the 55 correlations between teachers‟ self-concept and measures of teacher effectiveness were significant which suggested a strong relationship among these variables. When the data were subjected to multiple regression analyses, it is observed that each of five attributes of self-concept predicted significant variances for teacher effectiveness. However, social evaluation and emotionality-rationality aspects were found as strongest factors of teacher effectiveness. Besides, global competence, and intellectual self-concept, the physical self-concept of the teachers were also found to have impact on the effective teachership.
