Impact of Demographic Variables on the Academic Achievement of Student Teachers
Abstract: The present study investigated the impact of demographic variables on academic achievement of student-teachers at Sree Siddaganga B.Ed. College, Tumkur. The descriptive survey method was adopted for the study, and a sample of 91 B.Ed. student-teachers (44, 1st year and 47, 2nd year) was selected through purposive sampling. University examination scores were used to access academic achievement, and the collected data was analysed using mean, standard deviation and t-test. The findings revealed that no significant differences were found with respect to gender, locality and semester, whereas significant differences were observed in academic level, discipline and medium of instruction. The study emphasizes the need for institutions, policy makers and teacher educators to reduce achievement gaps through improved academic support, bilingual learning resources, and learner-centered practices. Overall, the study contributes to enhancing the quality of teacher education.
