Exploring Educational Adjustment and Life Skills Development in Senior Secondary School Students: A Comparison Study

Abstract

Your research explores the correlation between educational adjustment and life skills development among senior secondary school students. By examining this relationship, you aim to understand how students adapt to academic challenges and develop essential life skills during their secondary education. The study compares these aspects between boys and girls students in Sonipat, with a sample size of 100. Through descriptive statistics analysis, including mean, standard deviation, and t-tests, you investigated the differences between boys and girls in both educational adjustment and life skills. Interestingly, your findings suggest that there is no significant difference between boys and girls regarding educational adjustment or life skills. However, the mean scores for educational adjustment and life skills differed, with boys scoring 57.2 and girls scoring 190.40, respectively. Furthermore, the t-value of 7.09, significant at the 0.01 level, indicates that there is indeed a significant difference between boys and girls in terms of overall educational adjustment and life skills. As a result, you rejected the null hypothesis, suggesting that there is a difference between boys and girls in senior secondary school students’ educational adjustment and life skills. Your research also concludes that life skills have a notable influence on the educational adjustment of senior secondary school students. This suggests that developing life skills can positively impact students’ ability to adapt to academic challenges. Overall, your study contributes valuable insights into the complex dynamics of educational adjustment and life skills development among senior secondary school students.
