INTRODUCTION

Self acceptance is acceptance of self in spite of

deficiencies. According to Sheppard (1979) “self acceptance is

an individual’s satisfaction or happiness with oneself, and is

thought to have a necessary for good mental health”. Self

acceptance involves self understanding a realistic subjective

awareness of one’s strength and weakness. It results in an

individual’s feeling about one self that they are of “unique

worth”.

In clinical psychology and

positive psychology, self acceptance is considered as the pre

requisite for change to occur. That is tolerating oneself to be

imperfect in some parts.

INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE TOOL

The tool used is a questionnaire. According to

Bogardus “A questionnaire is a list of the questions sent to a

number of persons to answer”. A questionnaire consists of a

variety of the questions printed or typed in definite order, from

which are mailed further to the respondents. The main function

of the objective of the questionnaire is to collect data from the

respondents, who are generally scattered in a vast diverse data.

Questionnaire is a structural series of written

questions that generally ask respondents to select from a limited

set of possible answers. Questionnaire is a popular tool to gather

data from a large number of people. Questionnaire can be

thought of as a kind of written interview. In general,

questionnaires are effective mechanism for efficient collection

of certain kind of information.

OBJECTIVES

self acceptance. And very law students pose above average self

acceptance and average self acceptance.

DATA COLLECTION

Data collection is the process of gathering and

measuring information from a variety of access to get a

complete and accurate picture of an area of interest. Here we use

questionnaire for data collection. The questionnaire which

contains 34. It distributed to 20 teacher students for evaluating

their self acceptance. If the response of the questions is true,

then the student teacher gets the mark one.

If the response is false the student teacher

gets the mark zero. The total mark obtained for each student

teacher is below 17, they have below average self acceptance.

The mark obtained in between 17-25, they have average self

acceptance. If the mark obtained is in between 25-34, they have

above average self acceptance.

METHODOLOGY

Here questionnaire is used as a method. There are 34 questions are

provided in the inventory tool. Each question carries one mark each.

And the final mark is in between the range of 25-34. That pupil will

poses above average self acceptance.

The tool mainly contains some statements.

Against each statement we can find two cells. One is indicating the 2

responses, while other is related to false response. If we are agreeing

with the statement or that is true, encircle the cell below false responses.

Should answer every statement by encircling either cell.

CONCLUSION

Here we have seen that most of the pupil have less self

acceptance. It is important to identify specific life styles choices,

habits and character traits that you should happily accept while

also being objective about things you must want to work for

improving.

By doing this work we can understand the self

acceptance of some student teachers. From the study we can

calculate that most of the pupil have less self acceptance and

understand how to improve the acceptance. Our hypothesis is

proved by this work.
