A Study of Interrelationship Of Time Management, Stress And Academic Achievement Among Secondary Level Students

Abstract

The primary aim of this study is to elucidate the intricate interplay between time management, stress, and academic achievement among secondary students. The research sample consisted of 450 secondary students hailing from schools in the Pauri block of Uttarakhand. The evaluation of the time management proficiency of these secondary students was conducted using a meticulously crafted time management competency scale devised by D.N. Sansanwal and Meenakshi Parashar. To gauge the stress levels of the participants, an assessment was made employing a stress scale developed by the esteemed Dr. Vijay Lakshmi and Dr. Shruti Narain. Academic achievement scores were extracted from official school records. The statistical tools employed for analysis encompassed Mean, Standard Deviation, Karl-Pearson Coefficient Correlation, Multiple Correlation Coefficient, and F-ratio. The outcomes of the study revealed a compelling and statistically significant interrelationship among the time management competency, stress levels, and academic achievements of the students under examination. This research contributes valuable insights into the complex dynamics that exist between effective time management, stress mitigation, and academic success in the context of secondary education.
