Scholastic Achievement in Relation to Academic Stress among Adolescents
Scholastic achievement is the most important goal of education. Marks obtained are recorded as the most valuable guide for classification and placement of students in different occupations at the time of employment. That is why special stress is being given to assessment and examination. There are various aspects of the concept of academic achievement which has a great bearing on the personality of the students from the early age. Academic Achievement is a dynamic variable resulting from the dynamic interaction of at least three major groups of variables viz. socio-economic variables, educational variables and pupil variables. Biological and health variables also have strong influence on academic achievement of a child. Each one of these is actually a cluster of variables, which individually or in interaction with others have their influence on achievement. Academic achievement is also affected by cognitive factors like intelligence, motivation, creativity, non-cognitive factors including aptitude, level of aspiration, physical and mental health, self-concept of the learner, social factors like home environment, class environment, family environment, socio-economic status. The personal factors like stress, frustration too can affect academic achievement, both positively and adversely.
