A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF EMOTIONAL MATURITY OF PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS IN RELATION TO GENDER AND LOCALITY

Abstract

The emotional development of prospective teachers has been examined in the current article in connection to gender and location. The "descriptive survey" research methodology was employed. Being emotionally mature is an important quality for those who want to become teachers since it has a big impact on how effective they are in the classroom and on the learning environment as a whole. In this comparison study, gender and location are two important demographic factors that will be used to analyse the emotional maturity of prospective teachers. The study's population consisted of prospective instructors in the Sonipat area, and 120 prospective teachers were chosen at random. By examining these elements, we hope to learn more about how emotionally prepared future educators are as well as any prospective differences in emotional maturity across different groups. Singh and Bhargava's (2005) "Emotional Maturity Scale" was utilized to gather the data. Data analysis techniques include the use of the mean, S.D.and t-test. The study's findings indicate that there are no appreciable genders or geographic differences in the emotional maturity of prospective teachers.
