Abstract:

In any academic institution, great attention is given to the academic performance of the learners. Studies have been conducted to review the factors affecting the achievement of the learners. B.Ed. Student teachers get trained by institutions for teaching the students to achieve good grades therefore their perception towards their academic success needs more focus and evidence. Teaching in the classroom can be quite overwhelming and stressful. The way a teacher and student reacts to stressful moments can make a difference. A mindful approach in the classroom by the teachers can change the classroom experience in a much better way. In the current study the researcher has attempted to study the significant differences among the student teachers based on their Gender, Time spent on social media and Type of Institution with respect to Perceived Academic Success. The Perceived Academic Success Scale developed and standardised by the researcher and guide (Ashwathi & Dr. D.

The findings revealed significant differences in Perceived Academic Success and its dimension Internal factors at .01 level based on the Type of Institution whereas no significant difference was observed based on Gender and Time spent on social media.
