This research was aimed at investigating the teacher’s role in fostering students’ selfesteem as assessed by students with the objective to compare the views of male and female
students about the role of a teacher’s attitude and attribute in fostering the self-esteem of
students at secondary level. This study was guided by the null hypothesis that there is no
significant difference between the views of male and female students about their teachers’
attitude and attribute in fostering their self-esteem at secondary level. A self-developed
questionnaire was used as an instrument to collect the required information, data was collected
personally. Validity and reliability of the instrument was checked through a pilot run. The
respondents of the pilot study were from the population but were not included in sample. The

descriptive in nature. All the students studying at secondary level constituted the population of
this study. Keeping in view the total strength of the students in different schools at secondary
level, 815 students of class 10th were sampled using proportional allocation technique. Chi
Square was used for data analysis. The collected data was tabulated and interpreted in the light
of objective. Significant difference was found as the respondents agreed regarding the role of
