Author : Dr. Neeraja
Abstract :
The process of learning is influenced by a variety of personal factors such as sensation and perception, fatigue, attention, age, study habits, self-perception, attention, Intelligence, attitude etc. The construct of the self-perception is now considered to be a major outcome of Education, childhood, socialization and child rearing practices as well as influencing consequent response to those influences (Burns 1982). The self-perception refers to the self-awareness and self-evaluation of the various social, physical, academic, and intellectual characteristics that constitute a person as a social being. Self-perception, in short, is how we as human beings come to recognize ourselves (Folsom 54). The complexity of the thinking makes self-perception one of the most popular in research. Unfortunately, self-perception is also a poorly defined construct. Terms such as self-perception, self-concept, self-esteem, self-worth and soon are often interchangeably and inconsistently, when they may relate to different ideas about how people view themselves.
