Social Adjustment among B.Ed Teacher Trainees

Social interaction is considered as a process of contact of one individual to another. Social adjustment is important to all individuals to lead a happy and successful life. Unlike animals which exhibit adaptive behaviour to its physical environment only, man has to adjust his behaviour to physical, social and psychological environment. Social Adjustment is the process by which a person tries to strike a balance between his requirements and varying life situations. A well adjusted person will be able to have a good relationship with everyone. He is able to help others and also get assistance whenever needed and hence able to overcome problems in all situations. The present study attempts to find out to what extent the B.Ed teacher trainees who are going to be the future teachers possess this quality.

Result: Female students, First born students, Rural students, Married students and Post graduate students show better level of social adjustment than their counterparts.

Conclusion: Better Life skills programme may be implemented in Teacher Training institutions so that the future teacher can handle students better.
