Dr. L. Hemalatha Krishnaveni, Dr. B. Yella Reddy

Abstract :

Education is an activity or a process, which transforms the behaviour of a person from �instinctive behaviour� to �human behaviour�. Man, instead of acting impulsively, acts rationally. The importance of a teacher in the educational process is unquestionable. However, the entire edifice of education becomes shaky if the teacher is weak and ineffective. The main objective of the present study is to study the influence of self concept and self efficacy on the role expectation and role performance of high school teachers. Role expectation and role performance of high school teachers� questionnaire developed by Mrs. L. Hemalatha Krishnaveni (2013) was adopted. To measure the self - concepts of the high school teachers, self - concept scale (SCS) developed by Dr. (Miss) Mukta Rani Rastogi (1974) was adopted. To measure the self-efficacy of the high school teachers, the self-efficacy scale (SES) developed by Copeland and Nelson (2004) was adopted. A sample of 900 high school teachers representing all categories of high schools is selected in Andhra Pradesh by following the standardized procedures. �t� - test and ANOVA (�F� - test) were employed for analysis of the data. There is significant influence of Feeling of Shame and Guilt at 0.01 level on the role expectation of high school teachers. There is significant influence of Feeling of Shame and Guilt at 0.01 level and Health and Sex appropriateness at 0.05 level on the role performance of high school teachers. There is significant influence of self efficacy at 0.01 level on the role expectation and role performance of high school teachers.
