Present study was an attempt to assess the prevailing academic anxiety among rural and urban adolescent girls of Ludhiana district. Many studies have reported that girls show greater academic anxiety than boys and the levels of anxiety also differ in rural and urban settings. Keeping this in view the present research was carried out in rural and urban senior secondary schools of Ludhiana district. A total sample consisted of 100 adolescent girls in the age group of 15-16 years, evenly distributed over rural and urban areas (50 rural and 50 urban). The results of the present study revealed that majority of rural and urban girls had moderate level of academic anxiety. The mean scores indicated that rural girls experienced significantly higher levels of academic anxiety as compared to their counterparts. The results emphasise the need to provide better educational facilities in rural areas and to teach adolescent girls strategies for effective management of their anxiety.Keywords

The present study was undertaken to investigate the age and gender differentials in metacognition of rural adolescents (13-16 years). The study was carried out in rural schools of block-I, Ludhiana district. The sample comprised of 240 rural adolescents equally distributed over four grades (7th, 8th, 9th and 10th grade), two sexes and two socio-economic groups i.e. middle and low socio-economic group. Metacognitive skills of the subjects were assessed using a self-structured questionnaire adapted from Metacognition Inventory (Govil, 2003) and Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (Schraw and Dennison 1994). Results revealed significant gender differentials in metacognitive skills of rural adolescents with major proportion of female respondents having high level of metacognition as well as better mean scores as compared to their male counterparts.Keywords

Present study was an attempt to investigate the gender differences in academic anxiety of urban adolescents. Gender differences in academic anxiety have been highlighted by many researchers. The total sample for the present study consisted of 100 urban adolescents studying in 10th standard in various public schools of Ludhiana city. The study was evenly distributed over two sexes i.e. 50 boys and 50 girls. The result of the present study revealed that 42 per cent of the boys and 74 per cent of the girls were found to have medium level of anxiety. Further, it was found that urban girls showed significantly more academic anxiety than urban boys. The result emphasises the need to teach simple strategies to adolescent girls for managing their anxiety effectively. Parent education programme can also be initiated so that parents can guide and provide practical support to girls on issues related to academic performance.Keywords

The present study was an attempt to find association between emotional maturity and perceived stress among 17 to 19 years old adolescents. The total sample for the present study consisted of 100 adolescents from different colleges of Ludhiana city. Emotional Maturity Scale developed by Singh and Bhargava (2012) was used to assess levels of emotional maturity of the adolescents. Perceived Stress Scale developed by Cohen et al. (1993) was used to assess stressful feelings and thoughts of the respondents. Findings revealed that 82 per cent of the adolescents had high emotional maturity whereas, level of perceived stress was found to be low among 60 per cent of adolescents. The association between emotional maturity and perceived stress was found to be significant but negatively associated therefore, adolescents with higher emotional maturity were found to be low in stress. The results emphasized the role of emotional maturity in reducing stress among adolescents.Keywords

Metacognition has been described as a reaction to one’s own cognitive activity.. It also encompasses the methods employed to control one’s own cognitive processes; and an enlightenment of how one coordinates, plans, and monitors cognitive processes.Where metacognition is “thinking about thinking”, learning styles simply represents “thinking about learning”. Learning style can be defined as a preferred way of thinking and processing information and it is unique to the learner.Therefore, the current research focusedon exploring the gender differentials in the impact of learning styles on metacognitive skills of rural adolescents. The sample comprised 200 rural school going adolescents (grade 9th and 10th) drawn from the selected Government Senior Secondary Schools of the randomly selected village of Ludhiana-I Block. The subjects were equally distributed across both the grades (grade 9th =100 and grade 10th =100) as well as genders (males= 100 and females =100).VAK Learning Styles Self Assessment Questionnaire (Chislett and Chapman, 2005) and Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (Schraw and Dennison, 1994) were used to collect data.The results indicated that gender had no significant impact on the correlation between metacognition and learning styles of rural adolescents. Further, the sub-component wise analysis of metacognition and learning styles revealed a significantly positive correlation between ‘Kinaesthetic learning style’ and the ‘procedural knowledge’, ‘conditional knowledge’ and ‘evaluation’ sub-components of metacognition in adolescent boys whereas in girls, a significant positive correlation was found between ‘Auditory learning style’ and ‘conditional knowledge’, ‘information management strategies’ and ‘comprehension monitoring’ sub- components of metacognition.Keywords

The present study was aimed to compare the personality traits of urban and rural altruistic adolescents. The study was carried out in Government urban and rural schools of Ludhiana district. The total sample comprised 240 adolescents (120 urban and 120 rural) in the age group of 14-16 years belonging to low and middle socio-economic status. Socio-economic status scale (Aggarwal et al., 2005), Altruism Scale (Rai and Singh, 2004) and 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (Kapoor, 1970) was used to collect the data. The findings revealed that urban adolescents with moderate altruism were found to have medium level of personality traits which showed that neither they were reserved, less intelligent and humble nor they were more intelligent, outgoing and assertive as compared to rural adolescents. Urban adolescents were found more emotionally stable and moralistic as compared to rural adolescents. More number of rural adolescents with high altruism were also found in medium level of personality traits as compared to urban adolescents.Keywords

The present study aims to investigate the relationship between varying dimensions of self-regulation and the two components of metacognition. Metacognition and self-regulation should be explored as a serious issue in the educational context as both aim at helping learners to think about their own learning more explicitly. The sample for this study comprised 400 adolescents studying in class +1 and +2, exclusively drawn from the Government Senior Secondary Schools of rural and urban areas of Ludhiana and Moga districts of Punjab. The subjects were randomly selected and equally distributed over gender (males=200 and females=200) and locale (urban=200 and rural =200). Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (Schraw and Dennison, 1994) and Self-Regulation Questionnaire (Brown et al., 1999) were used to assessthe metacognition and self-regulation of adolescents, respectively. Irrespective of gender and locale, the results of Pearson Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between overall self-regulation and the components of metacognition (Knowledge about Cognition and Regulation of Cognition) as well as overall metacognition. Similar results were also observed in case of female respondents as well as the rural respondents, where a significant positive correlation was found between self-regulation and metacognition.Keywords

The present study was designed to identify urban school children with poor handwriting in English and explore their level of writing readiness. A sample of 60 children from grade 3 in the age group of 7-9 years was drawn from two public schools of Ludhiana city with average or above average intellectual abilities. Raven’s Coloured Progressive Matrices (Raven, 1965) was used to identify the intellectual abilities of children. Occupational Therapy Screening Test (Lilley, 2006) Set A was used to assess the handwriting skills of the children. Writing Readiness Assessment Tool was used to assess different pre-writing skills. Finding of the study revealed that more than half of the children with poor handwriting skills were found to have poor writing readiness skills followed by average and good level. It was further found that in all the dimensions of writing readiness, major proportion of children had poor level of performance. Out of all the dimensions of writing readiness, ‘Moving from freedom to confinement’ was found to be poorest skill in children with poor handwriting.Keywords
