Youth Problems of B.Ed. Students Studying in Self- Financed Private Colleges

Abstract

The present study aims to reveal the youth problems of B.Ed. students studying in self- financed private colleges. A data of 120 pupil teachers (60 male and 60 female) was taken through purposive random sampling from six self-financed private B.Ed. colleges affiliated to CCS University Meerut. A standardised tool, youth problem inventory by Km. Sandhya Sharma was used to collect the data. Major findings of study indicated that majority of male pupil teachers (73%) have shown average level of youth problem and only 15% of them come under high level youth problem category. Whereas, 30% female pupil teachers have shown average level, 63% have shown low level of youth problem, only 3% of them show high level of youth problem. A significant difference (t-value 3.49) clearly indicates that male and female B.Ed. students have different levels of youth problems, where males are more sufferer than females. None of male B.Ed. student was found under without any problem category. Whereas, 6% female B.Ed. students were found under without any problem category. It was concluded that majority of male B.Ed. students have shown more youth problems as they have more family, social and peer pressure than the female B.Ed. students.
