| Summary: | This paper examines the students’ self-concept among 16- and 17- year- old adolescents in Malaysian secondary schools.
Previous studies have shown that positive self-concept played an important role in student adjustment and academic performance during schooling. This study attempts to investigate the factors influencing students’ perceptions toward their own self-concept. A total of 1168 students participated in the survey. This study utilized the CoPs (UM) instrument to measure self-concept. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed three factors: academic selfconcept,
physical self-concept and social self-concept. This study
confirmed that students perceived certain internal context factors, and revealed that external context factor also have an impact on their self concept. |
