To Study the Level of Scholastic Achievement of Higher Secondary School Students of Haryana

Abstract

According to Krech and Crutchfield (1968), if the sample size is 500, the findings will be rather excellent and the error will be less than 5%. In light of the above, the researcher in Haryana State chose to use a sample size of 500 students drawn from 20 different higher secondary schools in the public and private sectors. In order to acquire a representative sample from a population that is not homogenous, the stratified sampling approach is often used (Kothari, 1998, p.62). The research subjects are high school seniors from six different districts in the Indian state of Haryana: Faridabad, Gurugram, Hisar, Bhiwani, Ambala, and Jhajjar, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the Directorate of Higher Secondary Education. Thus, a total of 1087 students were used to compile the data. After excluding participants with missing or partial answers, 500 people made it into the study's final sample. An examination of the connection between academic stress and learning achievement among students in their last year of high school is the primary goal of this research. One thousand students from Class XII were studied by administering a variety of tests, including an Academic Stress Scale, a Non-scholastic Activities Inventory, and a Questionnaire for upper secondary school students. With respect to gender, school location, parental education, administration, and academic track, appropriate representation was maintained throughout data collection.
