'Academic achievement' and 'Tea-tribe'. An individual's general composite or collective
view of him or herself across multidimensional sets of domain specific perceptions,
based on self-knowledge and evaluation of value or worth of one's own capabilities
formed through experiences with and interpretations of the environment (Eccles,
O'Neill, & Wigfield, 2005). Self-concept is the perception that individuals have of their
own worth. The term academic achievement refers to educational performance of the
students studying in schools. It indicates how far they are successful in acquiring
knowledge, understanding and skills in different subjects imparted to them in the
schools. In this study the self concept and the academic achievement of the tea-tribe
school going adolescents were studied. Here the tea-tribe refers to the people the British
tea planters brought to Assam to work in the tea gardens they started in the state. The socalled
Tea-tribes of Assam were brought in by the colonial planters (British) as
indentured labourers from the Chota Nagpur Plateau region. The British tea planters
brought the tribal people ( the Adibasis) and some general castes people also (like the
Kurmis, Tantis ete.) from different parts of Bihar, the present Jharkhand, West Bengal,
Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh. In this study the significant difference
between the boys and girls school going adolescents was studied.The significant
difference between the self concept of the school going adolescents of tea garden worlers
and non tea garden workers was also studied. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Manju Chutia, (2012).
