Academic Resilience among Higher Secondary School Students of Kozhikode District

Abstract

Academic resilience refers to an individual's ability to adapt, persist, and thrive academically despite facing various challenges, setbacks, or adversities. It involves the capacity to overcome obstacles, bounce back from academic failures, and maintain positive engagement in learning despite difficulties. Academic resilience goes beyond mere academic achievement; it encompasses the development of psychological and emotional strengths that contribute to a student's overall academic success and well-being. The present study investigates the Academic resilience among higher secondary school students and its relation with gender, locale, management and stream of study. Data regarding the Academic resilience was collected from 161 higher secondary school students using Academic resilience scale. One-sample t-test was used to know the level of Academic resilience and Independent sample t-test was used to test the significance of difference. Study reveals that the level of Academic resilience is significantly high among higher secondary school students. There is no significant difference in the Academic resilience based on gender of students, locale of the school, management of school and stream of study. The components of Academic resilience such as Perseverance, Emotional response, Self-reflection and Adaptive help seeking are also significantly high among higher secondary school students.
