ABSTRACT

The basic assumption is that individuals who feel good about themselves and their abilities are the ones who are most likely to succeed. Academic success or failure appears to be as deeply rooted in concept of self as it is in measured mental ability. Motivation is generally defined as internal condition that stimulates, directs and maintains behavior. There is a strong relationship between learning and motivation. According to Abraham Maslow when the need for love and belongingness are met, individual can then focus on higher level needs of intellectual achievement. Self-concept is an important element in the growth and developmental process for individual human beings, school education is the foundation for higher education. In high schools, curriculum is common also the students of this age are adolescents. Academic self-esteem is an individual understands of his or her own academic abilities and the perception of others about this understanding. It is a general belief that academic self-esteem contributes to the efforts of a child to take more initiative which in turn enhances one’s achievement in different areas, especially in educational pursuit. Low self-esteem is often cited as the ultimate source of poor academic achievement and self-destructive behavior. All students are influenced by a need to achieve. It causes them to want to be successful at what they attempt. But each student is affected to different degrees. Students who are intrinsically motivated participate in learning activities for their own sake; they desire the outcome. They do not need rewards or praise; they find satisfaction in knowing that what they are learning will be beneficial later. They want to master the task, and they believe it is under their control to achieve mastery. The work may reflect personal interest or be a new challenge. Emotional intelligence is related to academic and professional success. Emotionally intelligent individuals have increased self-awareness, higher problem solving abilities, better performance and better grade. To improve the self-concept of students, efforts must be taken by the teachers and parents to provide a good environment both inside and outside the school. By this way, they will develop their self-concept which will further lead to understanding of their capabilities, strengths, weaknesses, interests, attitude, aptitude, emotions, knowledge etc. this will finally lead them to develop a high level of achievement motivation.
