Emotional Maturity and Academic Achievement among B.Ed. College Students in Thanjavur District: A Predictive Study

Abstract

The goal of the current study was to examine college students pursuing a B.Ed. in terms of their academic performance and emotional development. To properly control emotions, uphold positive interpersonal relationships, and overcome both personal and intellectual obstacles, people must possess emotional maturity. A sample of B.Ed. students chosen using an appropriate sampling approach provided data for the study, which used a survey method. Emotional development and intellectual success were assessed using standardized instruments. Regression analysis, correlation, t-test, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the gathered data. The students had a modest degree of emotional maturity, according to the results. Certain aspects of emotional maturity were shown to change significantly depending on demographic factors.
Academic achievement and emotional maturity were found to be positively and significantly correlated. The findings also showed that academic achievement and general personality development are influenced by emotional maturity. In order to improve students' academic success and professional efficacy, the study highlights the necessity for educational institutions to foster emotional growth through counseling, guidance, and life-skill training programs.
