Description

Self-esteem is an important aspect in the happy and peaceful living of individuals. It is a feeling of ‘being good’ of one’s own self. The current study explored the level of self-esteem and significant difference in self-esteem among the prospective secondary teachers with regard to gender, locality and nature of the teacher training institute. The prospective secondary teachers (N=665) studying in the teacher training institutes were surveyed using Self Esteem Scale constructed and standardised by Rosenberg (1975). It was found out that the level of self-esteem of the total sample, and male and female of majority of them was moderate. No significant difference was found between male and female prospective secondary teachers in their self-esteem.Mean scores of the rural (Mean=23.26) and the urban (Mean=22.94) revealed that the rural institute prospective secondary teachers were found to be better than the urban institute prospective secondary teachers in their self-esteem. Further it revealed that the co-education institute (Mean=23.52) prospective secondary teachers were better than the girl’s institute (Mean=22.02) prospective secondary grade teachers in their self-esteem.
