Abstract

This study is aimed at finding the Nature of Relationship between Achievement Motivation and Academic Achievement of Senior Secondary School students. Through Purposive Random Sampling, a sample of 100 students—50 male and 50 female—was selected for this study. Deo Mohan Achievement Motivation Scale was employed to measure Achievement Motivation and the Aggregate Marks Percentage in 10th Standard was considered as the Academic Achievement of the 11th Standard students. Simple Arithmetic Mean, Standard Deviation and Pearson’s Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation (r) were used as statistical tools for data analyses. Achievement Motivation was found to be moderately and positively correlated with Academic Achievement of Senor Secondary School students irrespective of their gender.
